  1. What an incredible almost perfect June day. Started out at 60 and rose to 75. Dew points hovered in the mid 40's. Very windy today though. Winds blew in the 15 to 25 mph range off the water most of the day. Made it feel chilly actually.

    @yotaman I know you got a lot today it was coming down hard in new Bern and James city a little while ago on 70 road was flooded in the construction area

    Actually I am down towards the Dodge and Toyota dealerships and only picked up .37" total today from 3 different rains.

  3. Absolutely beautiful last day of May. Low of 60 and a high of 78. Dew points in the 50's and a nice breeze added to the perfect day.

    Monthly stats:

    Highest temp: 91

    Lowest temp: 44

    Rainfall: 5.04" thanks to last weekend.

    There’s a lot of bipartisan chatter again about making DST year-round like they tried in 1974. That was a failure due to morning darkness leading to school children being killed. So, they prematurely terminated the experiment:

     The reason I’m posting about it here is because that would unfortunately mean all wx models coming out an hour later than they would during standard time in winter. Can you say 2AM 0Z Euro in winter? That would be absolutely horrible. :(image.gif.061817271698590d44b3360502bfb255.gif

    The president, once again, calls for year-round daylight saving time

    Joe Gatling, a golfer and a gardener, favors year-round Daylight Saving Time. “This would give me more opportunities … in golf [and] gardening]that is a little bit longer, so I’ll go for it,” said Gatling.

    Those who refuse to remember history are doomed to repeat it. DST year round would be a disaster. I was hoping your Standard Time year round.
