  1. Our apple trees are loaded with apples. Fortunately, because we are at a higher elevation the May freeze was not as bad as down below. Originally in 1907 the owner of our house planted about 40 apple trees. Most are now gone but a few still survive including this one near a surface well. Over the past 5 years we have planted about 20 more apple trees and now some are bearing fruit. The problem is that there are more bears now than the past 75 years and they keep destroying the young trees.
  2. I got .52" from the morning rain and then a quick line of showers developed just to my west and quickly intensified over me. No lightning and just breezes but a quick additional .28". .80" a nice drink for the gardens before we go into a dry spell for awhile. Here is a time lapse of the shower intensifying right over me. https://video.nest.com/clip/1e765d5d5bc14eeba7ed3ae5753b5036.mp4
  3. That blew up fast. Purples in that cell. I can hear the thunder here. .07" last night
  4. Such a disaster in Maui. The news media is just catching on to how big of a story this will be. Miles and miles of coastal property destroyed. Lahaina in my opinion was the quaintest town in Hawaiil Speaking of smoke a wildfire up in James Bay is sending a ribbon of smoke our way. It is interesting to see how the smoke inhibits the convective cloudiness in it's path.
  5. Radar and lightning shows the line weakened right around DC and then merged and strengthened just east of the city. Lightning strikes have increased sharply and purples showing up on radar
  6. Coming in to DC right now https://www.earthcam.com/usa/dc/washingtonmonument/?cam=wamo
  7. I bought one of those smart telescopes (Vespera) that does not even have an eye piece to be able to look at objects. Instead the scope slews to the object you select through an app and it will find it and start stacking photos for the time you request. You then download the images to your computer. I have always wanted to see Andromeda. I finally got my chance 2 nights ago.
  8. 59/57F Light to moderate rain. 2.15" today so far. Best thunderstorm day I have ever seen up here. Almost constant thunder since late morning in one direction or the other. Lost power for awhile but no wind. We did have a few minutes of pea size hail in one heavy cell.
  9. TS+ No wind but rain rate is 5.25" About 1.5" so far today.
  10. 64/61 Overcast after a heavy thunderstorm. No wind but lots of cloud to ground strikes close by. Lost power over the past hour but back on now. About 1.25" since midnight. .90" of that in the past few hours with multiple storms.
  11. 65/61 TS+ Rain rate 2.89" .75" since midnight .50"ish last 15 minutes
  12. Last evening was the first time I noticed the sunsets/twlight getting shorter.
  13. Ginx, Canada is the gift that keeps giving. A large arc of smoke is ready to descend. Will tonights cold front push it south of us? I put the yellow dot on us
  14. Looks good Alex. Have you ever had a July frost before? I'm sure you are safe tonight
  15. Interesting setup. Line of convection along the Mass Pike is moving north and about to meet the line coming SE. What is going to happen when they both meet?
  16. 67/63F Moderate rain .70" Dewpoint really dropped past hour. The difference is already noticeable.
  17. 73/69 R+ About .55" so far. Very little lightning. Just dark, tropical with rain.
  18. A couple of hours ago we had a heavy shower. .28" now the sun is out. With so much moisture around my dew is up to 75F. A rarity 80.1/75
  19. Very warm and humid up here with early morning sun. I think SPC area of potential heavy storms should have been bumped north. We have missed the severe action up here lately but things seemed primed this AM. Model qpf seem to be trending more bullish.
