    The storms weren't bad around my way. Just a few bangs, and very little rain. Lots of smaller cells around me, though. I hope that the aquifers are well charged. The mosquitos are grateful.

    One cell is over me now, but the one over Reading looks like it means business for points further north. I remember a lot of this stuff when I lived in Jersey City and NYC - overnight storms - less so here.

    I know people who sleep through thunderstorms. I cannot. Gonna be a late night.

    Good one. Saw this one last week. Impressive to watch in motion.

    It's like how I think Manaus Brazil must be like.

    No matter what, I'm happy to see the LI and NJ aquifers staying well charged. Something we don't always consider when we fill our little pools.

    Sliding by right to my South. Lots of rumbles. No rain here so far. Off topic the blackbirds have been going crazy today. Maybe they've run out of tasty cicadas?

    It's not even mid-July!

    Every time I reenter my date and time on the old phone, it guarantees an outage. So maybe I'll leave it alone. DPs in high 70's - good for the trees, I guess. Gasp.

    Ha Ha - IMO the days of summer start winding down after about August 15, when the water is at its warmest, the trees are full of yakking katydids, the nights are (maybe) a bit cooler, and certainly deeper, and the fields are buzzing with crickets. That's just the beginning of the best part of Summer, provided it hasn't been too dry. Also, the hemp is maybe starting to show flowers, if that is of any interest, but that's only for the botanists among us.

    I don't mind the high DP, but the heat gets to everybody. Dry heat is rough on nature in general, so I'll take the DP, but I'm old and don't have to sweat for a living. Enjoy the more moderate temps while they last.

    I had one sounding off in my living room. Thought it was a trapped bird. Finally let it out onto my deck during the storm Thursday night. Figured it would be happy in the moisture. Hope he jumped off the deck before the crows got him in the AM.

    Summer cicadas been buzzing here for the last couple of days. Just a couple. Tree frogs have been singing all spring/summer. Does anyone know if the frogs eat cicadas? They must have been happy this year with Brood X.

    Tropical Storm Watch posted by Mt Holly for some parts of area.

    Radar shows a line forming already near Stroudsburg PA. Edit) not amounting to anything an hour later, unlike yesterday. Later perhaps?

    Got over an inch from the last of that batch. More today, perhaps? Looking forward to Friday's possible rain. I'm not a Grinch, but I love coastals in July, tropical or otherwise.

    I grew up in Jersey City, near Bayonne, and I can vouch for that. A lot of CG, and a lot of hail. Tonight we are all getting shellacked, however.

    Been watching another blob which is gonna hit the Princeton W Windsor area soon. We aren't done this evening.
  19. stemwinder
    Wind gusts, but little else. Interesting to watch the line fragmenting on radar. At least it will cool things down a bit.
  20. stemwinder
    We got that brief downpour here in the W Windsor/Princeton area. About .35 as well.

    He didn't show us the other garden.

    Storm boiled up before my eyes, literally. A real attention getter.

    Yesterday was bearable, because DPs were still in the low-mid 60s. Today is the first time I felt the Blast Furnace effect. Almost forgot what that is like. Dew points over 70 make all the difference.
  24. stemwinder
    A racket here with the cicadas. Also there are lightning bugs at night. Insects rule here, but at least they are not termites!

    nice digs, despite the downpour. This came together fast, here in central NJ.
