Itstrainingtime

I'm at work now but my wife just said it looks like it's about to. I'll let you know shortly.

I just realized that it has not rained at home since May 13th. 24 consecutive days since the last drops fell.

Working from home this morning and the sky reminds me of Alberta Clipper days of yore - the sky is basically "overcast" from haze/smoke with the sun dimmed significantly from it. Many times during clippers it would be snowing with the sun dimly visible through the overcast.

Sun and 74. Every day in June that's in the 70s/low 80s is one less day that's in the 90s. Not very profound I realize but it helps me prepare for the upcoming heat better.

Any model that produces rain right now is my herro.

Today will be day #9 since the last grass mow for me. I cannot recall going 9 days without mowing in the May/June time period since my dad started me mowing at 3 years of age. (okay...slight exaggeration...slight) Thing is, it will likely be another full week now.

Amazing how much wetter your area is than mine. You'll probably have to mow twice this week!

Another pleasant week of temps ahead of us, but a little nugget of info - pretty soon, the heat will be on.

53 for the low in Maytown. Yet another gorgeous morning out there.

I thought about trying that approach but I want to save that for wintertime. LOL

It's better than nothing though...I was serious about my blowing dirt observation. My white car is now brown from dirt off the field near me. At least you got some form of temporary relief.

Congratulations to those who received beneficial rains this weekend. For here, this carries a little extra sting as my area was forecast to do "well" but nothing fell. And CTP has dry weather here through at least next Saturday. At this rate I'm going to lose my crown as mowing king...

Temp down to 64 with a stiff breeze. Very low visibility here from blowing dust/dirt from the neighboring farm fields.

Welp... I was already in the Moderate drought area back on Thursday...where do I go from here? Going to finish the weekend without a single drop. Crazy.

All of yesterday's rain missed me just to my east - today looks like it might miss just to my west.

Somehow, someway...nary a drop of rain here today. That last impressive batch disintegrated on arrival.

Official high today at MU was 96! Last year's hottest temp was 96.

More coming at us- let's see what happens...

Drove home from work through this strange wet stuff falling from the sky...got home to dry, parched conditions here.

At 302 PM EDT, Doppler radar was tracking a strong thunderstorm over Lititz, moving southwest at 20 mph. HAZARD...Winds up to 40 mph and pea size hail. SOURCE...Radar indicated. IMPACT...Gusty winds could knock down tree limbs and blow around unsecured objects. Minor hail damage to vegetation possible. Locations impacted include... Lancaster, Ephrata, Columbia, Lititz, Millersville, Willow Street, Mount Joy, Manheim, East Petersburg, Akron, Leola, Salunga-Landisville, Maytown, Rothsville, Mountville, Marietta, Wrightsville, Brickerville, Leacock and Safe Harbor That was issued about 30 minutes ago - still looks like a miss wide right for me.

Looks like some people in the Ephrata/Lititz/Akron area might be getting wet imminently - if the area of precip and trajectory holds it will miss me wide right.

Temp was 91 at 12:45pm, 1 hour and 5 minutes later it's still 91.

Pretty impressive growth field of cumulous over eastern PA over the past hour and along with that, the first showers have fired in a few locations. Activity is drifting SW as it forms.

Ah, so someone does read his thoughts. I was going to provide a bullet-point synopsis but decided to see if anyone would read and then comment. LOL

Not in the next 7-10 days.
