Nice. Luckily no damage or anything in my yard. That last cell rocked just north and east of me, many outages out this way thanks to that. I got to jump start my wife’s car three times today, once in the rain, winning! Got home late, didn’t get dinner and then lost power. I’m too tired to wrestle with the generator tonight, just hope the power flips on tonight or add to my morning list run the generator before jumping the wife’s car again to get it to Formula H. First world problems, I know.

.43 so far. Lost power. #2020

I'm hoping for a whole lot of noting later IMBY. Saturday could be a soaking rain for a while at least.

The dead ash trees are a very common sight over in this neck of the woods too.

Yeah, the whole area could use some sustained periods of rain instead of a deluge in 20 minutes or less. Would think that forest fire danger is creeping up there now too.

Absolutely. Its been a warm summer for sure but IMBY, nothing notable as far as record highs or heat waves, just a lot of well above average. In 2013 for example I had 14 70 degree lows, I average 4.9 lows of 70 and its only been 2 thus far with only 6 90 degree days.

That's crazy, I have 2.

Tough day on the links, Champ?

Triple D is a good show...always makes me hungry though...

If you’re expecting a response from BX you’ll be disappointed...he’s busy watching a Hallmark Christmas movie as he gets his green and red jammies on

Well I sure as hell didn’t take it! @BxEngine says you refuse to come north of the Tappan Zee...fake news?

Shots fired!! LOL

How many others wonder what’s going on when they see a topic is “hot” here only to realize Liberty Bell is online?

In your pink onesie?

Do you even know how to read a thermometer?

I just checked NOWData for KMGJ and don't see any heat waves in that data either so maybe I'm over thinking my station and location, I dunno.

Yeah, I checked, no heat waves yet this year. I'm thinking there are two factors contributing to that. 1) The river and wetlands around me, the added humidity keeps the temps down a touch. 2) I installed a Davis VP2 with 24-Hour Fan Aspirated Radiation Shield last September. The Vantage Vue is a nice PWS but I had thoughts it ran high on certain sunny days with no wind and maybe this helps to confirm that? Here are the Summers I've been here and how many heat waves each summer, note I had a Davis Weather Montior II through the summer of 2011, then the Davis Vantage Vue from Summer 2012-Summer 2019, now the VP2:

Delightful morning, made it to 50 IMBY, KMGJ, just up the road, got down to 47.

Agreed. My dew will always run high because of the Wallkill and wetlands around me.

And the Euro backed down at both yesterday’s 12z and last nights 0z on the heat from the blazing 0z run yesterday. Still hot, sure, but may not even get a heat wave out of it around here. I have to go through my stats, not sure if I’ve had any official heat waves this summer despite it being a warm one.

Im sitting right at 50, KMGJ is at 48.

It was an interesting first week of Oct here in 2019... 10/2/19: High of 87 10/5/19: First Frost of the Season
