Don't remember what we paid, but I do recall that selling it back, (or to anyone), when preparing the house for sale, was not a good deal. Meaning...the used market is good for these if you are able to find one and are willing to remove it and install it yourself. This was about 2009/10 and I recall selling the stairlift for $500 back to the company that originally sold/installed it. There were a few on Craigslist back then, about the same price. Worth a look. Edit: Yeah, here's one in MoCo only used a few times....$500: https://washingtondc.craigslist.org/mld/for/d/olney-bruno-stair-lift-sre-2010-electra/7356894670.html

I don't think I can classify August as a nice month here. I usually tell out-of-towners that July is the hottest, but August is the most miserable. (Maybe we're just sick of it by then). (Of course, this brings up the question of what is a pretty nice month here? I dunno. But I do know that any month can get pretty crummy.)

Morning low of 61. Very nice. Had 0.24" by evening yesterday, but failed to check the gauge this morning; (brief T-storm overnight). I'd estimate about another tenth, based on the electric gauge.

July total 3.77", but mostly in the first 10 days. Pretty dry second half of the month. Lowest temp 59f. Highest 93. Somewhat cool by our standards.

I think if we could poll the group we'd find a lot with very reasonably cool high temps this year (so far). I think some of the Virginians especially. I had one 94f day at my station as the hottest, so far. 91f yesterday. Oh yeah....I'm missing plenty of T-storms too.

low 60

Low of 61f this morning. DP 60. Significant cloudiness too.

A rather weakened storm just gave us some breezy rain in Annapolis. About 1600.' Looked pretty good on radar until about 20 miles upstream from us, then started falling apart.

This occurs, (for example), in highway maintenance when roadside brush cutting crews pile their chips at the shoulder areas. I have witnessed this along multi-mile stretches in MD or VA, with multiple smoldering brush fires from different chips piles. They're not hard to control, but do get response from local FD. Also cause rubber-necking backups. (No surprise there). It's not normal; conditions have to be just right. But, it's a good reason to try not to do brush cutting in hot summer wx.

Yep; just keep telling yourself that.

Downright overcast in Annapolis for the past few hours.

Lo temp 69 this morning, so starting a few degrees cooler than the past several days. Could hit 90 (yesterday's hi) anyway if more sun/less clouds. Had 0.05" from yesterday's rain.

Seems like only yesterday.

Not weatherman burnout I hope? Remember, many good souls stand with you. ( And maybe a few bad ones.)

My Davis wx station ate up a battery, so I opened it up and found not just an ant farm, but a little wasp nest for extra measure. (Have had the ant situation before). Gonna try to upload some pics.... Looks like it worked. I used some borax based powder to prevent further attacks. This unit might be 12-15 years old, not sure. Have had to replace the main board because the early versions had a problem with battery life, and I've noticed that ant nests seem to exacerbate the situation.

Low of 66f this morning. I thought we'd get a cool-down after yesterday, but not that much. No complaints

Finally getting a bit of rain after about 30 mins of threatening. Had thunder and darkening to the west in the usual manner, then clouds and storm slowed way down. Looks like rain wall to my south. Edit 5:00; Legit T-storm now. Couple good CG hits out to my West. Sure did take its time to roll in.

DId any U.S. station record sustained hurricane winds? Or even a gust? Highest I could find was 59mph

0.10 storm total

about 0.10" yesterday/last night from the entire Elsa thing. Also, one of the cicada-dead leaves blew off a tree. Reasonably pleasant morning however. 69f and blue sky.

0.07 in the gauge. Such a gentle rain.

Hi today of 92, and somewhere in there the max DP was 82, per Dr. Davis. Currently 80/76 Pushed the lawnmower and sweated like a hog this evening.

Was just thinking that. Had a high of 91 yesterday, (barely), I guess forecast we'll hit 93 today, starting from 73.

Since they expanded for the new (and enormous) Southwest terminal. You're not the first to notice. Edit: I think WxUSAF is in the ballpark with the 2017 guess. And the reason

Spot shower here for 0.06", then later (i.e. now), it's steady rain. Brought an early end to the cul de sac picnic and fireworks show. 65f and rain.
