I always hope when it dries out like this that the mosquitoes won't be as bad as when it's wet. It never works out that way They're still so bad I have to wear pants and long sleeves in my yard.

Rained all night and still raining but only added up to .15.

I drove through some 1"+ stuff, that was fun. Only got .25 here at home but it looks like it's about to get wet again. What's left of the garden is happy.

Looks like .95 here. Solid soaking with some totally off the hook thunder. I honestly don't remember if I've ever heard thunder boom like that.

That thunder was outrageous! Some of the biggest booms amd bangs I can ever remember.

I haven't been there in 30 years but one thing that's probably the same is the east side of the park is significantly more crowded. There's also a fair chance that it will be snowy over ~9k feet. It could be 95° in Boulder, 90 in Estes and 25 going over the top. The west side is (was) much greener and more peaceful.

It's 82° with crystally clear skies up here in Glens Falls right now.

Thoughts on tomorrow being a good beach day at Smith Point? I've always appreciated the day after a good coastal if it's not too windy.

.16 Blah. I guess the upside is the soil is primed now to accept more rather than it being hardpan and the water just running off. Considering how raw and wet it is you'd think I'd have a lot more, 56* with a good 6-10mph breeze a lot of the time, although it's quiet now.

.18 and of course, I slept thru it.

Hanging tough here at .5 for the month. I saw some clouds though.

^^ My windshield gets pretty well plastered going up the Taconic too.

It happens to me a lot. I tend to start heading ESE around 6 as my customers close so I'll often chase, or be chased by, storms as they work this way. It's a real hoot in the winter as a front is working down and I can watch "the wall" behind me in the mirror. I dunno what juicy, window splattering, paint wrecking, headlight blocking insect-like critters they are but I can tell you that they suck.

I actually saw the backside of the cell from a few miles east of Binghamton. The upper third was lit up by the sunset so I watched it for almost 2 hours until it got too dark. I caught up to it around Goshen.

Been busy... Looks like I got .5 on Wednesday. It dried up in no time Yesterday driving home I found the only rain around. Good thing too because the windshield was covered in bugs and I could hardly see. That stretch between Binghamton and Roscoe is brutal for bugs.
