Well if there's any solace, weatherbell has their prelim winter forecast up and it's pretty much a dumpster fire. This combined with all the experts predicting a crap winter gives me some reason for optimism.

Your mom and dad live a couple miles from me! After last night I can confidently say that whatever drought there was is definitely over now.

Obviously nobody asked JB, he already posted that a day or two ago.

It's lowering at an EXPONENTIAL rate. Even Skynet could only learn at a geometric rate. Amateurs.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/weather/topstories/ar-AA1pcupU Get your ice skates sharpened up, we'll be skating in the bay this winter. You heard it here first.

Our mountain property backs up to The Glades and is at a slightly higher elevation - the glades is a downhill walk from our cabin site. Awesome to think it was in the 20s there last night!

The only cats you're gonna see going up the bay this year...

Doing a lot better than us out there.

Downtown eating lunch...so gross out. Stale city air is the worst.

79/73. I'm kinda underwhelmed with the dry air so far, still feels pretty gross out. Better than last weekend for sure though, but that's a low bar.

This tiny blob of rain has given me more precip than the entire duration of Debby.

Severe breezes and ominous overcast clouds down here. Heck the ground has even dried out. Yawn.

JB is already onto the 8/20 threat.

We've been really good at dodging rain down in Calvert all week long, hopefully we can at least get 1" from this storm on Friday, I'm skeptical though.

Whats the kuchera say?

I need to test my sump pump and DC backup sump pump this week! Gotta gas up the generator too...I got a ton of wagyu in the basement freezer I can't risk losing.

Moses doing his best over here...

Nothing down here in SoMD but unrelenting jungle. At least the HI is only 104 and there is decent wind to blow the sweat off. Watching that storm line firing off east of Harrisonburg and hoping it holds together. Enjoying a cohiba out on the patio right now waiting to make a play on getting my caterpillars more food.

I remember a couple years ago we were having crazy wet summers and winter still sucked then too so I'm banking on the opposition principle for this winter's success.

Highest I saw today I was think was only 93F but it was so humid maxed at 118F HI. Feels a little nicer now, was just outside for 2hrs doing caterpillar stuff.

HI back down to 115F. It's over.

HI 118F. Come on we can get 120F!!

Ugh our local reporting station is at 93/82 now with a HI of 117F. Is that possible? Feels like it.

90/81. 81! It's almost painfully hot outside in the sun. Imagine the late Cretaceous where it was like this all the time everywhere. What a time to be alive. I wonder what would happen if we had one or two eruptions like hunga tonga every year over a period of a couple years. Society might break down. I just read that hunga was the equivalent of 100 Hiroshima bombs. The dinosaur asteroid was the equivalent of 10 billion Hiroshima bombs. A bad day. That's 100 million hungas going off at once.

Looks like they're getting something right now at least.
