Birds~69

Although vintage, 8-tracks were a horrible breakthrough in technology back in the day. The idea of breaking a song in half (and stop) so it could click to the next track (then resume) was idiotic and ruined the vibe. I had Doors, Zeppelin, Floyd 8 tracks and the player would eventually eat them, it was just a matter of time. Complete fail... Most humid/DP day so far (Hum 97% / DP 66F) and uncomfortable. Temp only 67F so if we hit 90F w/this DP it's going to feel super muggy. Hopefully we're rewarded w/some T-Boomers....

I have a big shovel....I'll get his attention. Today will be the first day in quite a while where I'll be checking the radar... 63F / DP 61F

Millions if not billions were predicted in SE PA....we were the hot spot. They may have a more specific hotspot(s) around the area but damn the majority of us should have seen at least one with such a large volume? Just 1. I'm calling Herb....

Probably a A/C day tomorrow but after that, no 90s really in site. Friday/Sat 60s with rain then 70s and 80s for some time. I'll give the critters one more chance with rain Friday into Sat (maybe a storm tomorrow). After that, if they don't show up, it's not happening... 67F / DP 59F

This made me feel. Early 80's when cable just became available in my area... Had the big ass Jerrold 3 level click button box w/a annoying long cord to the TV console which always got tangled up with something or I tripped over it. 73F / DP 56F...no sign of cicadas.

I really haven't seen them in years...decades? Maybe a few? But in the lates 70's my area was drilled...Dad was pissed because they ate his garden to hell. Glenn's 5pm Burbs forecast...rain percentage by day. Looks like Sat will be mostly in the 50s...

Yeah, nothing here either...I was just being a smartass. However, I'd rather bust on critters than a big ass snowstorm. No memory of 1994 either. Times are different now, media (social media) like to super overhype trivial things now. And local news...ratings, ratings...Glenn hasn't really mentioned cicadas in recent days. Do you, Redsky or anyone w/age remember the Japanese Beetle infestation in the late 70s or so? Those F'ers were everywhere! People had those Bag a Bug things hanging all over the place, front/back lawn and they would be full...

Maybe the crunch is from the massive amount of cicada shells? Hanging at 65F...

65F / DP 45F at 1:30pm. Rather dark clouds around and temps have not moved much. Memorial day weekend (Fri-Sun) looks like temps around 70F (Sat 60s) clouds/sun and a chance of a shower(s)...Memorial day itself temps in the 70s w/more sun. Probably see some overnight temps in the 40s...

61F / DP 45F /Cloudy w/a breeze at 6:45am. Feels great...

Ok, camped there one time, I know where that is...damn close to Knockamixon. I went to shooting range up there as well which I think closed... 79F...A/C going off soon.

I really may make a trip up that way, haven't been up around Nockamixon in years. I'm 90% convinced I'll get screwed around this area with very limited critters. Looking forward to clouds and 60s tomorrow... 86F

It was 73F here at 2am early this morning and I doubt I dropped into the 60s. I see Philly hanging around 70/low70s tomorrow w/burbs in the upper 60s....great stuff. A/C goes off once it gets dark around here tonight...expected low upper 50s to 60F. 87F

Eeked to 90F / DP 63F.....wind still active and no critters to be seen or heard.

89F / DP 61F

No question. I was outside for the past several hours and just came in to watch the Sixers at 1pm...more than breezy, borderline windy at times. Wasn't expecting this? 88F / DP 60F / RH 39%

Already 80F / DP 60F at 9am so this will probably be the hottest/most uncomfortable day so far. Back door cold front swings through w/highs in the upper 60s for the burbs on Monday...my kind of weather.

Incoming...plague!

No stink bugs and limited flies, bees and Gnats (they''ll come though) as well. Butterflies seem to be on the decline every year... 83F

Just skimming the MA subforum for the first time in months. They are way ahead of us in the cicada sightings, especially MD. Hell, I'll be happy just seeing or hearing one in the distance. All we have is KamuSnow seeing a lonely lightning bug last night... 86F

It's somewhat hot (89F) but it's really not sticky. (DP 57F / RH 34%) I think we're so accustomed to super dry conditions lately a 57F DP seems uncomfortable. I would lock that DP in for the entire summer w/a big smile on my face. Tomorrow DPs will be in low-mid 60s, still not super horrible but getting there. When DPs are in the 70s...instant puddle if you step outside.

Wow, that's really early. (5/21) I don't expect to see any till mid/late June when things start to roast on a consistent basis... 69F

I'm pretty convince our soil temps are warm enough for the cicadas but damn it's dry. A solid rain event and they would be popping out of the ground... 86F / DP 49F /Hum 28%

My soil temp is 65F. Those lazy critters should start making their move. Lack of rain isn't helping. Imagine being underground for 17yrs trying to break the surface looking to get laid and met by a brick wall of dry dirt/clay. Poor critters... https://www.greencastonline.com/tools/soil-temperature

Sunday will be our first real taste of summer w/temps 90F+ and more humid. Glenn going with 96F next Wed....
