Idk but the amount looks accurate for my house.

Of all the winters I remember, 22-23 should stack up to be the most recent.

That radar image was way more bark than bite. I'm not sure we even had a breeze. Looks like about 1.25" so far which pretty much means no chance of drought for the rest of the growing season. I'll take it. New roof has held up with no leaks either.

Bring it on baby.

Yikes that radar looks like I'm about to get my ass kicked.

Keep it together everybody, plenty of storms forming west and heading east.

90/76, feels like 102, ugh. Man it's hot. Drove my old Subaru to work today and apparently some mouse made a nest in the cabin air box because just turning the AC on smells like a mix of dead leaves and mouse piss. Sophie's choice ..no AC in the car or mouse pee smell permeating everything @KAOS, fyi turns out I have a condenser coil leak on my AC in the attic. Case solved, getting fixed just in time for the cool weather. Topped up refrigerant in the meantime and air temp dropped by 7deg instantly. Ok sorry back to weather...

As long as you have antibiotics.....

Hot and wet equals disease.

Supposedly Bittinger is at 69F. So jealous I'm not there instead of here (still 92F).

93/69. So miserable.

It's more over than it's ever been over before.

Sorry, 91F outside right now

Guess I will call for a second opinion. We actually do have an attic fan (along with almost full length ridge vents), I had to replace the motor two weeks ago and I was sweating to death in the attic and lamenting the shitty AC upstairs, which is what prompted me to call the tech in the first place. I don't ever recall this issue so something mustve changed in the past year. Sad thing is half my job is refrigerant thermodynamics (on a city-sized scale) but I've never bothered to do the calculations for the AC unit. Onward...

I literally replaced the filter this morning which is why I was measuring temps in the attic. No icing, I had someone out to look at it about two weeks ago because I had same concerns but they said it looked good. Maybe I need a second opinion. As an experiment I shut off the AC and am just running the fan circulating air. Intake air is 75F and it's putting out 81F after a few mins. Maybe my attic's just too hot.

75F indoors in my master bedroom right now. Perhaps the dynamics are different due to my downstairs unit which is putting out 58F air at the same time. It's waaaaaaasay more effective.

Yeah if I ever move to a new house all the handlers are going to be in the building envelope. I'd probably only move into a single story home at this point so I guess it wouldn't matter anyway. I just checked the attic with a temp gun - decking 136F. Return duct to the air handler - 106F exterior. Cold air ducts to the rooms, all about 96F exterior. They're all insulated of course but there's no way around heat gain being in that environment. Air coming out of the vents is 68F, barely enough to cool the rooms even running nonstop.

Whoever is responsible for putting air handlers in the attic deserves to live in an attic all summer. My upstairs thermostat barely reaches setpoint by morning. It's so hot in the attic the unit has to run basically nonstop all night. I have a top of the line trane inverter unit downstairs which has no trouble but alas heat rises. Looking forward to this weekend too.

That's only 6000yrs ago.

You don't actually post any theory behind the maps so it's hard to get excited about them. I mean I could post up the same maps....tell us what going on behind the scenes and what it means and then maybe ppl would start engaging with you more.

Wow serious thunderstorms all around us but so far we've avoided any serious rain. Me and Benson are keeping a low profile for now.

Yeah but it shows us with "much above avg snow". So I'm gonna clutch it at least til mid-December.

Must've been dry, cold and windy.

Drought confirmed!
