Its not summer yet?

Meteorologically

I love when we torch around the solstice. Warm breezes and the twilight seems to last forever.

I’m amazed at how warm it feels today despite it being south of 70...

Sunrises start getting later after tomorrow.

Anyway...way more sun than I expected today. Up to 67F after mid 40s for a low due to cloud cover overnight.

Looks like summer is settling in after this cold snap. Hopefully we can get some convective luck over the weekend.

WNE ftw this morning with many 30s. 27.7° for Estcourt station.

Anyone hot an ID on this weed? My chickens eat it like it’s crack. It looks like a clover, but it appears to be something else. The stems from the previous season are fairly hard/woody. The leaves almost have a fleshy feel about them...somewhere between a clover feel and a sedum feel.

 

ID'd this as yellow sweet clover today.

Initial thought was Sassafras, but tips of leaves look too pointed.

I'm still struggling with this one. The stalk looks like pokeweed, but not the leaves. I keep bouncing around giant ragweed, mugwort, and hog weed, but nothing quite matches it.

edit...think I'm leaning giant ragweed.

June of yore. Hoodie and pants outside this evening. At least the chooks like it.

Yikes, top ten spring day here now. We will summer right on schedule 

Gonna be crisp when that sun sets. Down to 58/42.

Down to 61° and barely a cloud in the sky. Chillier than a couple days we had in Jan. 

62° and mostly sunny in mid June. Chilly airmass for sure. 

Take out the word dewpoint and it looks like a typical winter storm.

What do you mean when you say cool?

I mean cooler than the weather preceding it.

Looking like NNE is going to smoke SNE again in the heat dept late next week. Then we cool it back down.

I just don’t get the obsession every single summer.  Summer climo is long dry stretches and when it does rain it’s convective short duration downpours.  It’s not going to change.  

They would laugh west of our region at what we call a “drought”. We just get the rare 3-5 week stretch with little rainfall causing lawns to go brown. Go out into the woods and the soil under the leaf litter is usually still moist and fertile. Trust me, I like a thick, green lawn myself...but it’s not a natural landscape. Anything that requires you to pump nitrogen into it, water it regularly, and spray it down with pesticides and weed killers is not natural. 

Anyoneknow what this is growing under my apple tree? The leaves have me stumped.

You take a lot of time out of your day to track me and my posts. Much obliged 

I've been on here like 10 minutes today. lawl

I'm an expert with the search function. 20 seconds and I can see all of your contradictory posts over a certain topic over a 10 year span.

Guess who is on the island now? Poor kid watching his tens of thousands of dollars of lawn wilt

I'm sure it's lush and green. Drought is just the fake news agenda for warm season 2020. Pick a weenie weather theme out of a hat in April and just run with it all season.

Ugh. Missed everything this afternoon. 

Mostly sunny. 76/70. Soupy

Sun's out. Guns out.

Should be pretty nasty for the next couple hours.
