2.7 for this event. .56 of it in a steady light rain today.
-
Dry all day here. Heard (still hearing) thunder since early afternoon. Amazing how localized showers can be this time of year.
-
Yeah, I was just looking at that. I'll take the rain.
-
I've had .31 this week. 3.71 for the month. Looking forward to some cooler temps.

I am experiencing quite a bit of blossom drop in my pepper patch due to this heat. It's what they do in extreme heat. Gonna put a dent in my yield. Plants are otherwise very healthy this year.
-
I'll take a less humid stretch, too.
-
Microburst yesterday and pretty heavy downpour today. 1.51" today and 2.47" over the last two. My pepper plants are not quite tall enough for effective staking, and I got lucky yesterday with those winds.

Not every day do you see t-storms moving from north and east to south and west.

It has been muggy! My standing joke is: if you want a sweater for Christmas, I'm your guy! 5.35 inches of rain this month in Pleasant Gardens. 26.57 for the year.

2.83 for the event here in Pleasant Gardens as of Tuesday evening.
-
Dime size hail and lots of it the last 15 minutes. Whew!
-
3.35" for the month and 11.76" for the year so far. Looks like temps will spike tomorrow. 90 predicted for the high here. Near 70 today and Tuesday. That seems a bit odd to me. Hope everybody is keeping well.

14 5 for my low here in Pleasant Gardens.

I have clearing skies to my west. I don't expect much this morning.
-
It's 33.4 here, neighbor.

I missed the first push this morning. Cat woke me up at 6:30 and no snow at that time here. Went back to bed (as I'd turned in after 2a). Woke up to a mulch topper. Since, looks to be about .75 so far on the deck railing. Been some big flakes mixed in. Presently in a little lull. Watching it fall has always been my favorite part of it, outside tracking the storm. Currently 32.4/31.2 at 10:30a.

That's a nice benefit of glass, for sure. What I really like is the casting feel. It's notably slower and you can really feel the rod load on the backcast. Better roll casting, which comes in handy on blue lines. Better short distance casting overall because glass loads more fully.

I did not know they had been bought out. I have a Reddington carbon 9 5/6 a guide buddy got me on a pro deal several years ago (15?) Fine rod, but I'm not using it much these days. I mostly do glass anymore these last 10 years. It's where I started. Glad to see a renaissance there. I really, really like Japanese glass.

I bought a couple blanks and had a guy in PA build them out for me. I found this guy several years ago who does really good work reasonably. 8 foot Kabuto 3W 8.5 McFarland 5/6 I've not tried the Butterstick, but I'm sure it's got that classic glass feel. I have a couple Echo glass rods that I like a lot.

I'm ready to fish. Got a couple new glass fly rods in the collection I need to give some run.
-
4.29 inches for this rain event. That's a soaking.
-
I got up to 41 here in PG today, but I'm back down to 36. It's certainly a raw kinda day.
-
.58 in the guage. We needed the rain here in McDowell.
-
14.7 here.
-
11.1 for the low here this morning.
