    Noon time weather report modified to poetic descriptors. Very blue sky. Pleasant air. Like September arriving 4 weeks early. (eh, I supposed we'll be paying for this later.)

    Coastal Flood... South River is encroaching on the travel lanes of MD 450. This is a rare thing since the SHA raised the road at the river crossing. Plenty of wind driven twigs, branches, leaves down. Naval Academy gusted to 46. Had a brief power outage overnight. Less than 0.2" of rain overnight.

    Yesterday only 0.04" with t-storms all around, but just squeaking past us. High temp Sunday was 85f and very humid.

    A lot of folks never trusted AC. FDR was one of them...the White House didn't get chillers until it was renovated in the Truman administration. Had a friend of a friend who was a home builder and construction big shot. His own custom home (in Burtonsville I think), was very nice, all brick, modern, but no AC. I was a little surprised, and I recall my friend saying "Oh no...Ed didn't like AC." Both gentlemen long deceased now. Heart of gold...both of them.

    No rain Fri/overnight. Was unusually hot at 97f. Even KNAK hit 97. Starting today at 73. Could be worse.

    Looking since just 1960, only 16 Septembers (out of 63) failed to reach 90f. It's a summer month here. Byrd stadium is a sort of solar heater, and early season games, (Noon on Saturdays back then), the temp at the game feels like 97/98; BWI hits 90. All plenty hot, even for a youngster. Add in a loss to the WV Mountaineers, and it's miserable. brief reference:

    Since the feeder got moved, the steel shepherd's hook has been sitting empty out back. I watched out the window as one of the little rocket scientists climbed up it and started chewing on the hook where the feeder used to be. At least it figured it out and went away after about a half minute. Wacky rodents.

    Just a couple weeks ago, we moved the bird feeder from the back to the front of the house, just to get the squirrels away from the garden plants. Nothing else can stop them, despite having an enthusiastic squirrel chaser of a dog. (Dog doesn't go in the un-fenced front.) And, the bird feeder is quite squirrel-proof, but they just gather under it waiting for the birds to drop seeds down. And, a couple months ago, I replaced $100 worth of high pressure fuel line on the F-150 because they chewed a hole in it. (Long story. Difficult repair) eta: The feeder we've used for about 10 years; for those that are interested. https://bromebirdcare.com/squirrelbuster-mini/

    That thing is blooming out like a LE snow streamer on steroids. Flood warning issued.

    0.35" from last night 0.18 previous (Tue) night. 0.72 for month of July

    Some have said this is a better-than-most climate site near DC, billed as Lincoln VA when you choose it, then it becomes Purcellville, in name. Anyway, if you drop that 72f on the first, the lowest max for the month is 87. (But it always drops below 80 at night , even on the 10th)
  24. GramaxRefugee
    0.18" from last night's t-storm Low of 75f
  25. GramaxRefugee
