Shoosh, you're ruining the fun.

I remember the derecho well. I was watching Doug Hill during dinner give the forecast and he showed the radar and indicated it was a derecho - I believe it was still in Ohio at that time. He really dismissed it as a non event and I told my wife I couldn't believe why he'd do that and made sure we cleaned up all the furniture and umbrellas.on our back deck. Went to bed and a few hours later all hell broke loose. It was like a tornado for about 5mins. Went out the next morning and all my river birch trees I had planted a couple years prior were just bent right over. No power for a few days later I actually bought a winch and jacked the trees back up and tied them to a.large.tulip poplar to hold them up for a year. They're doing awesome now btw. Well, the snow storm from new years this winter did snap one right over....finishing what the derecho couldn't do.

Come again?

Is there an analog for winters following a year without a summer?

We're gonna roll up to Meadow Mountain this weekend and camp for a few days just east of DCL. Hoping for some nice cool weather. Benson, aka Wolfgang pup, is ready to rock.

My.comment aged like milk...ended up with just over an inch last night and still some light showers this morning. Drought canceled.

Yeah it's plotting E-W here too. Thundering nonstop but no precip.

It's over.

I haven't looked lately but in recent years a lot of the above average anomalies were the nightime temps. So while on paper we were above average that was mostly at night when we are sleeping. That might not be the case this year, not sure. All I know is I'm able to go outside after work in jeans and a long sleeve FR shirt and not sweat which hasn't been the case much recently. Now if it would just translate into a colder and wetter normal January...

Yeah, Junes like 2012 really shifted the mindset. I mean we even had our fireplace going last weekend. I haven't done that in at least a decade during June. Not complaining, just seems abnormal after all the years of heat and humidity. And to be fair, it's not like this is early June, July is a week away.

Man this is shaping up to be a year without a summer. I'm not complaining, the temps have been great. It is really dry in my are and bushes are starting to wilt. Hopefully the storms produce this evening.

I'm trying to teach myself about soundings, does anybody have a good resource for online forecast soundings? Weatherbell doesn't have them which is annoying.

A fine September morning out there right now.

Split N-S of me here. Would've been nice to get some precip. Need to break out the drip irrigation I guess.

Short Pump really sizzling. All we need now is a derecho and it's 2012 all over again.

Woo hoo, heading right this way. Seems to have dropped out though.

A good reminder that it could always be worse (anxiously looks at radar).

Incoming!!

Awesome, I'm so pumped. I've loaded the firewood and camp supplies into the back of the truck and am gonna grab a few steaks and chicken breasts shortly so we can do a bbq this weekend. I'm hoping the beltway traffic isn't too terrible, I see we are under a tornado watch here.

Another reason not to be so wishful for severe weather...guess who needs a new roof now too? I have pockmarks all over my shingles, it's bad. Hope it's not too much a fight with state farm.

Heading that way in about 5hrs. I hope it's gone by then.

Yeah my 72yo inactive overweight parents both refused the vax and just use ivermectin monthly and have somehow avoided any COVID at all despite refusing to mask most of the time as well. Who knows, they're all pompous about it though. Or just whistling past the graveyard...

Yeah, triple-vaxxed my ass. A lot of good that shit did. But if you survived the fog ok then that give me hope it'll eventually end. My wife is also stuck with it too, she's about 3 days behind me.

This weather is so depressing. I'm on my second week of COVID and am stuck in the brain fog phase and this weather is not helping at all. Clouds are stupid.

I swear it happened once when I was younger still living in Michigan. It was there til like July. When I moved to the MA I was excited because we seemed to never have that problem, then came the recent times....
