91⁰ and 93.4⁰ the past two days....this morning was the warmest of the past 3, so I could see it pushing well into the 90s today regardless of what OKX is forecasting

93.4 for the high, already down to 72....it is muggy though, first night it has felt like this, this year

92 here, at least there is a breeze....

You are more than welcome to stop by! Kids can swim and we can chat weather and drink some cold adult beverages. Water is still chilly for me, but the kids spent most of the day swimming yesterday. The chilly nights haven't helped warming it...it actually dipped to 58⁰ this morning

85/66 at 10:29, going to be a hot one. Softball game at 1 is going to be fun.....

Ha, gotta train those chickens! I have a plethora of ticks too.

The chickens can hang out in the garden, I need some bugs thinned out....

We swim....89.3⁰ outside, 73⁰ in the pool

Missed last week with the convection too....what is this place? Lol, unless there are tornadoes involved, we get nothing.

Sadly that is the first thing I thought of when I read that....The mind set of some people that think Covid killed old people that were going to die anyway is just horrible. My grandmother is 84, multiple comorbidities, lost her husband a few years back and lives by herself. She stayed safe and got the vaccine so she could see her kids, grandkids, and great grandkids. She wasn't/isn't ready to go. But most likely would have perished if she contracted covid...sorry for the rant, should be in the banter thread. Carry on.... Where are the storms down here!?!? Sun is out, 80/66 atm

Saturday high of 49 and yesterday 50.....2.86" of rain for the final tally Now lets bring on summer, I have a swimming pool that is a nice tint of teal and 59° that needs some assistance

89.2° for the high today, already down to 73....fans going, no A/C here

86.2⁰/62⁰, feels like summer out there today Have been "steined" here for a while now, dry as a bone out there

I have some extra KN95 masks laying around and tried one on while I was mowing, what a difference it made...I would normally wake up the next day with a headache, stuffynose, cough. The morning after wearing the mask, absolutely nothing....My soil is quite dusty/sandy and with all of this Steining going on, mowing has become quite the dust bowl.

Played softball earlier during a pretty decent pulse storm. Quite a bit of lighting with a decent down pour. Very localized though, not a drop at home, 5 miles away...

On day 2, my fever never really went above 100, but I felt like I had the flu. Headache, body aches, general garbage that makes you not want to leave the bed. Then 24 hours later, a round of chills in the middle of the night, woke up on the morning with no fever, felt almost 100% besides fatigue. But that was replaced with a horribly swollen arm, looked like there was a baseball underneath my arm. Couldn't move it and it was quite painful. I walked around yesterday like I had a broken arm, couldn't move it with out extreme pain. So weird, it definitely triggered a response from my lymph node under my arm. This morning, almost 80% better. My first shot made me tired for a few days and gave me a pretty intense headache for 6 hours.

Keep it warm...I would prefer open windows to air conditioners, so might be ok moving into June. I would like to get my garden planted, 80s are welcomed next week

Just got my second yesterday morning. Mowed my entire almost 2 acre property afterwards, played bball with my kid yesterday evening. Woke up today, feel like I have a mild case of the flu. First shot gave me a pounding headache with a side of fatigue for a couple of days. I have a family member, 60s that was recently really ill. Said person is one who believes that this virus is some government hoax, it's nothing more than getting a bad cold. Refused to be tested or even go to a doctor. Well, they became part of the 99% that made it. Just last week her doctor thought said she had lung cancer because she has been having issues breathing while doing everyday things. Turns out it's not cancer thankfully, but severe scaring in her lungs from a recent illness. But they survived, she may very well be like this the rest of her life and could knock an x - amount of years off of her life as well. These stories aren't rare, like some people want you to believe and that is not a MSM talking point, that is just the facts. I don't fear Covid, like I don't fear driving to the grocery store, or even cooking chicken. But I always wear my seat belt and wash my hands after handling raw chicken. Some people act like wearing a mask while at the grocery store, during a pandemic, is equal to giving up a kidney to a stranger....

32.4 at 5:30 am here, already up to 67.5 off of a high of 71.1 yesterday....what a roller coaster

I do love taking the dog out first thing, feel that crisp air at the same time you can feel the warmth of the sun on your face

Crazy here...

It sucks, unless I put up a temporary hoophouse, my growing season is going to start later and be cut short. But I do look forward to hitting -20 at some point, that should be fun, lol

31.6⁰ this morning, please let that be the last...get my second shot today, of course the best weather of the spring is coming up.

When my family moved to CT, I decided to stay home rather than spend 2+ grand per month in daycare costs. It was an adjustment, but our family adapted and I believe it was for the better...more time spent as a family by far, happier kids, happier parents...

Certainly is a pit, but a picturesque one at least....the diurnal ranges have been pretty impressive since we moved here. There have been a few instances that we are 15+ degrees different from the OXC numbers, we are roughly 9 miles away
