Not a windmill unless the tor was carrying it

Thankfully none of that 2" nonsense up here. Just a steady mod/low end heavy.

So it was a bad choice? 

What about something with some showy flowers in the spring? Like a redbud or dogwood?

A tulip tree grown in a more open space would probably get a lot more wide/full than you experience in the forest where all of the trees are trying to outrace the others to light. Those will put out beautiful flowers after a decade or so of age. They have unique beautiful leaves too.

Is there any particular look you were going for? 

Summer here was basically 7/5-7/8.

1858 happened...but we don't really know what the official winds were in that even though the estimate is like 70kt.

Crabgrass is awful 

It’s my chickens’ favorite grass to eat. 

Maybe some monthly record low maxes out there as well?

Euro with 3-5" for DV now too. Let's make Furnace Creek lush again.

Euro much colder again next week and now further east with the So Cal tropical. Seems like the gfs is owning that model.

GFS has been kicking its ass sensibly although I'm sure the euro is still winning the H5 battle over Thule, GL and Verkhoyansk, RS.

What a snoozer for summer here since that cold front on 7/29.

Ended up with a faulty sunny mid- late afternoon. Muggy, summerery. Sticky week overall. Will enjoy whatever we can get for summer next 2 months 

Your high is 70°

I lost the link to the RAOB records....what are the coldest readings at GYX in August for 850mb? IIRC, late August 1986 had a brutal cold shot where 0C 850s got down to ORH-BOS

The 1965 shot is tops. CON hit 29F in August in that.

That 1986 one is next.

+1C over Ray's head in August. Yore.

Of course it will probably verify as +15C lol

Legit ending in some sorts to summer after like Monday. Gah.

lol at d10

Still in the upper 60s at 1230pm. The GFS struggles out of the 50s here Saturday. Then a couple warm days and we cool it down again. BOS will have a chance to pull a BN JJA.

Looks like some pretty extreme temp changes, for August standards, in the extended.

But it’s all pretty much just brief blip readings when they record dews over 90°. 
 

Looks like they’ve had higher.

Is this legit? Lol

 

It's tough to say. They're on a little island in the Persian Gulf. Dews near 90F happen. They were in one of those situations with mid 80s dews overnight and then the temp rose and then they dried and mixed out with easterly flow. The dew shot up in the morning with the temp rise, but I'm not sure what their equipment is and if the 97F was real. Sometimes moisture condenses on the sensors when there's a temp rise...or they had some dew evaporate off as the temp climbed. Either way, it's pretty brief and par for the course out there. It's been intolerable living out there forever.

Bought a couple of Lombardy poplars to add some interest in my backyard.

@tamarack @dendrite

 

Anything I should be on the lookout for? Seems like they are extremely fast growing 

I think they have a tendency to canker easily. You'll want to prune out any growth that shows sign of it so it doesn't spread.
