Flying MXZ

We had a baseball doubleheader at Fulton-Montgomery Community College yesterday and somehow we played both games.  Off and on showers, and a somewhat muddy pitchers mound and home plate, but we played.  Around 0.8" in my rain gauge at home this morning.

58 indoors? Hoodie and blanket time!

I broke down and turned the heat on this morning.  But yes, the wife and kids don't need to hang around in shorts and t shirt all winter.

Frosty!

36° here, nice cool morning.

I’m liking that north trend.

We absolutely positively do not need any more rain down here.

You must have ended up with pretty good rain?  I know I did south of you.  Nothing severe, but more rain that we don't need.

Thanks for your response. Yes, the "research" is overwhelming. A big deciding factor for me is that the Delta variant seems to be spreading in children easier. I just can not fathom the kids at school (I work in a school) getting sick because of me not doing what I could have done to reduce their odds of illness. I could not live with myself. My wife's family also has bad asthma...I need to do what I can do.

I can't believe how nervous I am about getting it, but I am. In talking with others, I realize I am not alone in that though, which has also been comforting. A colleague encouraged me to rub my arm nice and firmly after getting it because it helps to spread the injection around. I have also read that drinking Gatorade and being well hydrated helps to reduce side effects.

I had a pretty severe "hangover" after my second shot.  But I went straight from the shot to the kids baseball practice (inside) and played catcher and sweat my a** off.  I'm sure if I didn't do that, or hydrated better my reaction wouldn't have been as bad.  Still I was pretty much fine by early afternoon the next day.

Euro...Yikes!

Bullseye, my house. No thanks. 

Lots of water at the Oneida/Lewis County line along 12D. Otherwise uneventful from Delaware County to Tug Hill. Pics of the Sugar River in Halcottsville. 

Bye

41° this morning.  Had to wear long sleeves.

3.25" of rain from noon yesterday until 6:00 this morning.  Pretty good flooding a little northeast of here in Middleburgh.  Lots of field flooding here, but no road/bridge damage.

Everyone seems more interested in the heat or rain 5 days away.  But tonight looks pretty interesting to me.

35° this morning with frost on a couple lawns and roofs.  My neighbor on the hill above me had 46°.  I'm curious how CNY riders bike ride to work this morning was.

Fireworks don't just magically happen at short notice.  MAYBE this was planned for awhile?

Made it down to 53 this morning, I'd say the front made it here!

2.5" of rain at my house yesterday afternoon in a quick burst, but had to be more up the hill.

Full capacity rock concert at MSG in 12 days?

Full capacity concert at MSG in 12 days!  Wow.

This weather sucks.  AC on in the office before 8:00.  It was a nice 56° before the sun came up though.

Wow RIP.  I don't post here much but read a lot and you couldn't miss him.  So sad.

Pretty good chance I’ll be at the Dropkick show. Never been to the fair, but I’m pissed I missed their last show there. 

Back in the 30's this morning at 38, felt beautiful.

The exceptional drought out west is most impressive for the fact that it’s worsening while an UL trough is anchored over that part of the CONUS. They’re in terrible shape now given seasonality...

Lake Mead 17.5' lower than last year.  Though last year was the highest in awhile.

No more masks needed indoors in NY (most places) for the vaccinated starting Wednesday.  Although I started the day the CDC recommended it.

Each day is progressively getting warmer.

 

It can stop now.  Yesterday was about perfect.
