Charts lol

"Substantial" may have been a poor choice of words. It's not like I'm saying it will be chilly. Getting 850s even a hair below normal from the NW will probably feel substantial. In the end it's probably more of a mild down than this weekend. Of course if the SE ridge decides to really flex that could hang the front up a bit to our NW and it just clears us as a diffuse POS.

Was using the euro

Similar here too...I only had a couple. But the swampazz was off the charts that year. We'll have to compare the house of 70+ dews charts when the month comes to a close.

Min 65F...going for our 3rd 90F of the year. It hasn't been too hot up here. Just a monotonous amount of 80s. Dews have been way more tolerable than 2018 as well.

Special one

Looking like a mild down this weekend and then ridging getting pinched off ahead of a more substantial cold front next week.

Great where?

Already 75°. Pretty nice out. Was going to turn on the AC, but going with the window fans for now.

97mph at a home station in Marion https://mesowest.utah.edu/cgi-bin/droman/meso_base_dyn.cgi?stn=F3880&time=GMT

87/66. Warm one. May even hit 90° here tomorrow.

IADOT 91mph

Tostitos Bear necessities right there

Screen doors slammed shut?

Epstein Salt?

This will be the year we pull off a cold early fall and close the windows in Sep with COVID lurking around.

Those have really nice bark at maturity.

81/67. Nice day after a min of 65°

Yup...entirely different tree. The nuts aren’t edible either. Gene has one and it’s a nice ornamental, but he does have problems with sapsuckers. His tree service has done a lot of work to seal it up to keep it alive. I’m not familiar with the different cultivars though.

I’d rather lose power in summer as well. Our water pipes all run in the interior of the basement and up to the first floor so they’re well away from walls. Even when we didn’t heat it down there (when we used the pellet stove upstairs) it never went below 45°.

Dunstans are a hybrid with good resistance. Any chinese tree will have resistance too. I know our Agway tried selling a few purely chinese trees last year, but they were still there in the fall. You can find 100% American trees online grown from seeds from parents with good blight tolerance, but there’s no guarantee on what those seedlings will produce. I have about 10 american trees in my yard right now because I’m on the early list for those transgenic american trees from SUNY ESF. I need to have some pure american trees with it to create genetic diversity. Half of the nuts from the transgenic tree with carry the blight resistant gene and the other half won’t. I believe the transgenic ones are expected to be available to the public in a few years if they get the OK from the govt.

Think I found it...robber fly.

I'm just hoping for a cold front this winter. 2 would be gravy.

Lots of nice weather, but about the most boring summer I can remember. COVID restrictions haven't help.
