I said it the other week when we were chattin up big totals for 2025, that we'd probably jinx it and rest of year struggle to reach climo. While i dont think that'll happen.....just like AI....mo nature listens to everything we say.

A guy I follow for long range suggested late last week, that Aug was looking to trend cool, and might continue well into the month. I've little interest in breaking records, so I'm gonna root him on to be right, as a comfy Aug. would be just fine by me...and most me thinks.

My pal lives in Hopeland (couple miles NW of Ephrata, and they got almost 3" saturday night as well. We got hammered saturday as well, but not 3". Crazy how popcornish/localized these rain events have been.

I'm hoping to be on the mountain or road bike tonight. We'll see.

Im not sure why the NWS has me tallied for .01 last night. We had a 20-30 minute gully washin deluge that was on par for the hardest rain of the year...and we've see a ton of it. easily .75-1.0 shoulda been recorded in the rain bucket.

Hey bud. Thanks for the kind words. Got in to see little J (Jace) friday night and yeah, the emotions and life really comes at you hard when you see your son holding his son, then you get to hold your grandson for the first time. Great stuff. Embrace the little things, and even the not so fun things, because in the blink of an eye, you'll be looking back wishin for them. Kids had some hiccups last week, but J, momma and my son got home on Saturday. All is well. Looking forward to the end of the week respite from swamp ass. Its been nasty.

Sounds awesome, and yeah, remebering how quickly our kids grew up, I can only imagine how much faster it'll go w/ grandkids. You are lucky to have so much time with your little ones...hoping the same here.

Just wanted to let you know that an event worth coming outta da cave happened yesterday. I became a grandpa to my first grandson. Over the moon excited to meet him tonight or tomorrow. 40hr labor w/ C section after daughter in law "ran outta gas". Proud of her... and my son. Happy times no matter the heat...wet sacks n all. Have a great day all.

Real feel is a much more tangible barometer for many of us. Thats why I chuckle when spats over stats happen. When ballsacks are drippin, it doesnt matter if its being recorded as 89 vs 90. They both suck equally IMO.

Yeah its sorta fun to watch, and at least gives pause to the "heres our new climate - scorched earth" kinda chatter. In the end that may be correct, but right now not the case.

holy shnikeys.... now watch, it'll take you the rest of the year to get to normalish climbo..... mo nature has ears and listens to us as big totals are boasted.

hoping it keeps heading west a bit more, before making the turn north. Should wring out much of the "extratropicalness" by the time it gets back to the east. (my cool new word for the day)

its just crazy. What a difference a year makes.

Yeah standing seam is a tad bit rediculous. I got thicker guage corrugated and have been rather pleased. Good luck w/ your new roof.

right or wrong, you troll him....and others, and its always a 1 -2 punch w/ you and your TC warmie pal. You guys sit in same chair?? asking for friends. No matter....its old, and poor form.

just did mine 2 years ago, and we went w/ corrugated tin.... Yeah that check hurt to write. Hoping the extra jingles paid will be justified in long run. We do like the look.

in last 2 days I got .77 tues and .6ish last night as others have stated (here in Lanco), its as lush as I've seen in some time for mid July. Nice to see the grass recovering from last couple years of dry periods that have wreaked havoc on my areas w/ shallow rock beds below. Happy mid summer to all.

Hey everyone......looky who stopped in...the wondertwins. Now do the forum a favor.....and deactivate. (many old timers will get this) He offers far more credible info than you guys ever will.

Keeping you in my thoughts n prayers for a good outcome. Health scares even without a diagnosis, can lead to healthier habits, or better self awareness, so that in itself is a good thing.

Hangin in and hangin on.... The weather and cooko for cocco puff light and sound show last night, coupled w/ the monsoonal rains, scared my arse right outta my cave....so here i am. hell...i'll say it.....UNCLE! What a diff a year makes. Not sure which evil is better, but like my wife always says, too much is better than not enough, so I'll go w/ that, and see how tonight goes. Hope you are doing well/better. and hope the rest of you blokes are well also.

Nice work pal. Enjoyed the read. Thanks for the insight.

while thats often the case, we are waterlogged down here and runoff is largely cause soil cant hold anymore. NWS suggested that in their recent disco for today's possible "fun". I passed 3 stranded cars on way to work, and 2 were in pretty deep (etown rd and near my home in akron). Good luck to all who got hammered yesterday and may get it again today. that graph above is ominous for us southers.

i did not, but when i read the 5/28?? update, a footnote suggested that more area were likely to be reduced moving forward. My question was that we already had most of the rain in the bucket, and wasnt sure why the 5/28 map wasnt reflective of that. Again, that's showing the limits of what I know about drought/precip maps and the criteria used to make em. Thats all. Regarless, the map you posted is a much better looking one. Hoping further reductions are warrented, and not further increases. Been there...did that. Have a good one gang.

I looked at the drought map "update" last week and was surprised to see what i saw. While we've recieved a bunch, I'm wondering if lower level ground soil content is still lacking. Dunno, but that's the only solution my limited brain could muster up. No matter, still in a much better place than were we were.

lol My old and underpowered system was not working last night. Gave the condenser a once over and i'm cool again. Needed a little more tlc than what I did in april. New condenser likely on the short list of "to do". I just roll w/ the summer now. Used to despise it, but I've learned to take the best outta everything life gives me. Keeps me happier that way. With that said, happy summer all.
