74 here ... low was 51.

If not friend why friend shaped?

I’ve just been putting the oven on and the ceiling fan on reverse to take the edge off.

When we i stop running pellet stove? (Ran yesterday morning)

Sitting around 4" total in the yard but totals are very uneven down here. About 40 miles to my southeast got a stripe of 4-6" yesterday during a mini-train in just a few hours. Areas to my west prob have less than half of my yard. Lake levels haven't responded yet. A testament to how uneven the distribution has been and also how crazy dry the ground has been. Stream levels have only made it back to normal at best.

Partly sunny today with a chance of some showers tomorrow morning. Today and tomorrow will be our warmest days of the week with temperatures a couple of degrees above normal for late May with highs in the upper 70's. A great stretch of weather begins on Thursday and through the weekend with sunny skies and with temperatures cooling to several degrees below normal by Saturday with highs near 70 degrees.

Yeah. It can stop anytime now. Lol

Good Lord! That's the Rainforrest we are used to.

Last nights 6” in 2 hours puts me at 14.05” so far and it’s still raining.

Found this guy just resting in the sun this morning…

It's over. Is this gonna be the year without a summer? Sun angle starts dropping again in 3wks.

It’s not interesting, just enough to be annoying.

Discrete level synoptic observations re the late week/weekend thing This isn't the same or a very good analog in terms of behavior, nor anomaly intensity as 1977 May. Behaviorally, it's moving much faster comparing the present multi-model handling to back whence. It also appears to be shrinking in the cold anomalous depth as it is coming S. 1977 deepened some do to cyclogen height falls/feed-backs. Circumstantially, It's also not teleconnecting the same when considering the broader hemispheric mass-fields.

Nice day here 70 and sunny-of course after the holiday weekend is gorgeous.

A super-dry blocking pattern in the middle of peak storm season sucks.

Just like every other spring…it’ll get to a point where it snaps and gets warm/hot consistently.

Most of all that shit is, and has been misleading…been saying this for a long time.

Yikes. I’m going to quit my whining. Sorry brother.

That’s still a thousand feet deep…pretty deep for a non ocean…no?

I wonder if the eastern Pacific playing a bit of catch up has helped the northern Pacific get more favorable over the last couple of years, which helps more with respect to cold than snow, as we still have the issue of the stronger jet to contend with. We need to find a way to cool the west Pacific to mitigate that.

it's terrible folks
