    Afaik, they do, but is seems sort of pointless, they only need to live long enough to mate and lay their eggs. Maybe Nature is hedging her bets in case of bad weather

    I've no idea whether males mate multiple times, in which case being able to eat might be a real advantage, unlike the situation with Mayflies.

    I have no clue but eat or not eat I'd say yes...they've been underground for 17yrs.

    Speaking of hamburgers, I'm due to start grilling soon. My parents and my brother and his wife are coming over at 4; hopefully this will have mostly moved on by then. We haven't seen each other in over a year, my brother just finished grad school, and nobody's seen our new house (except in pictures online), so expecting quite the little shindig this afternoon, rain or not. I've got a canopy I can set up over the grill on the deck if need be but I'd rather not.

    Sitting at .18" for the day, just under 50°F. Check out this graph from my weather station for the past week. Wild!

     

    You look good unless precip starts former further S...moving N.

    51F / light rain

    For most of my life, it's almost always been cool and/or rainy around Memorial Day weekend (no matter what day the actual holiday came on and regardless of whether there was some heatwave or above average temps before or after).  There were the rare few years with some of the weekend days that had weather that was decent (I think last year was one of those times), but more often than not as a kid, we would go out on our back covered patio with the grill due to rain or threat of rain. :lol:

    Of course July 4 was almost always the polar opposite.  Pretty much guaranteed to be hazy, hot, and humid (with a few years when it was actually "nice" ).  Am guessing it's the climatology of the month (based on sun angles).

    Am currently at 48 and up to 0.20" in the bucket this morning.  Looks like that potential for a record low max for PHL for today might be do-able. :blink:

    Either that or set up the grill at the perimeter of the garage and let the smoke blow out. Think my Dad liked the garage idea because that's the location of the adult beverages.

     July 4th is almost a guaranteed lock at getting roasted and a decent chance of a late day T-storm screwing up your BBQ. If not your BBQ, then if you had plans to see a local firework display later that evening, it would screw that up.

    Extremes will always happen.  Records are made to be broken.  All of this does not change the fact the earth is warming 

    There's no doubt about this, slowly but surely. Probably in 50 yrs average highs will have increased by several degrees which makes for nightmare winters. Glad I'll be worm food by then...

    Was it 2013 or 2014 when Christmas was warmer than July 4??

    Must have had some good winds overnight, lots of leaf debris and small branches all over the neighborhood. 48F

    A tad gusty but nothing major....probably the weight of cicadas gave tree limbs a hard time.

    47F / drizzle

    I actually just turned the heat on, got kind of damp and chilly outside. 52F here with 0.75" of rain so far. Nice breeze here too.

    :oldman: .........:)

    I have heat off and every window open possible that doesn't allow rain to come in. I'm at 62.1 now....see what happens by morning.

    48F / steady rain
