Doing crazy heat around here is so easy. It doesn't really matter the pattern once Mid May gets here. I wonder if we get our customary 100-103 temps in mid June for a few days. It kills off the early tomato flowers. This heatwave is as bad as the one we had in March lol. Dreaming of 0 visibility in heavy snow on the Tug for Christmas.
I forget what it's like to have a rainy day where we get like 1.50". It's been since last fall if I remember correctly. All we get these days is a shower or sprinkles.
Anyone want to take a guess at how this El Nino will effect the Tug Hill region in upstate NY? That's where I'll be all winter. I'm sure it will be better then the lowlands lol
I know.. ugh. Trying to softwash a 40' tall house in the never ending 30 mph wind is always a real pain in the a$$. Ever since March 1 it's been cold and windy or hot and windy lol
My rain gauge broke and their hasn't been enough interesting weather to motivate me to order a new one. It looks pretty wet here this morning. I heard it pouring around 10 last evening.
Just patterns. From 2020 to 23 it was a swamp around here. It even killed off lots of trees due to excessive rainfall and wet soil. From 2023 until now it's been the opposite. Guess what's coming next? Lol
I saw wild things in La Plata. I talked to the father of some poor teenage girl that worked at the Taco Bell that got obliterated. She was standing next to him in shock still. He brought her back there so she could understand what happened. Her friend that worked there was still missing if I remember correctly. I have no idea how she survived unhurt. The only thing left was the stools that were bolted to the foundation. The tornado ripped the blacktop off 301 where it crossed. It was an EF5. I'll fight anyone that says different lol
I'm surprised to see this intensity and this widespread of a thunderstorm event. There's lots of lightning crashing all around here in the lowlands. Bring on the rain. We need it.
I feel for the orchards. Year #4 without a crop of peaches for northern MD. Apples also probably got cooked to. Having no local fruit sucks bad. I use to enjoy picking my own peaches from Lerry Land farms.
