Speaking of old, Lordy, Lordy this is getting old. 

Early nooners at the old folks home...73 and hazy sun.

So who is the oldest and youngest in our sub? I'm 55.

I think a lot of us are in our 50's and 60's.  I am in my 50's as well.   I think ITT is too.  Stephen/Carlisle is in his 60's I believe.

Youngest??  I wasn't aware 41 qualified for that haha.  In fact, I thought I was part of that group that was being haggled by the youngsters a few weeks back for being old heads.  I could be wrong.  I by no means think 41 is old but I also know I don't feel like I did at 20 or 30 or even last week ha.  Totally agree about MDT, would love to see a bubble over it with a good soaking everywhere lese.  Yes, you have the right of it with the whore stuff haha

I was thinking you were 30's so not sure if 41 is on the younger side or not, I withdraw my thought :-).

Whew what a weekend.  I built a firepit on Saturday and I'm sore as a whore from carrying all the stones and kneeling so much, which speaks to two things: (1) how old I'm getting and (2) how out of shape I am.  Pathetic ha.  But the pit looks great!  Then had a wedding yesterday afternoon and despite being in a full suit in full sun it wasn't all that bad, with the humidity being what it is and a solid breeze going the whole time.  Looks like another beautiful but dry week ahead.  Goes without saying but could really really use some rain at this point -- sitting at .37" for the month.  I will say, I'm almost rooting for MDT to break the record at this point.  Should be fun to track.  Have a great week everyone.

I agree about the record and almost hope it rains everywhere we need it but not at the airport.  Keep the grass alive and get the record.   I believe you are one of the youngest posters here.  LOL.    I never really understood the phrase "sore as a whore" but it all makes sense now, whore is euphemism for someone who works in bricks, pavers, etc...basically spend all day laying other stuff.

Yes not good for agriculture interests 

The 18Z GFS has no love for helping.  2 frost risk nights leading into the weekend with the weekend being dry.   Great for parties but the grass is toast.

The last 20 years have been the wettest 20 years on record by wide margin. What you might see is more extreme swings but overall wetter.

The LSV has just had a penchant of going dry in May, June and July recently.   As far as agriculture is concerned it could not be worse timing.   

The May Sun is already putting a decent hit on the grass....lots of browning taking place today.   Almost need an irrigation system in this new climate.

Just seems as of now that it could be a year without a true summer. I'm so done with this cool weather.

Pretty warm yesterday...it is the lows that are surprising this late spring.   The calls for early summer were just off base.  

Just now, mahantango#1 said:

I think JB is saying it will be a below normal temp wise next weekend at least not sure on precip. 

I doubt you hit freezing late week, but frost is back on the possible menu.   My comment about 30's maybe being done until next fall is at risk.

So you are saying we'll have to wait for input from DT as to how next weekend will turn out?

PS, you can go with the tiebreak EC.  Ruins most of the weekend for the shore but only drops .1" at MDT.

Don't the tile and floor folks offer 24 emergency service?

What option you going with?

Same answer as yesterday, unsure.  LOL.  Just reading the models right now.   With the chilly snap possibly coming late week I am going to go with May wrapping up its BN status.   MDT was presented with a chance to have a decent AN day yesterday and sputtered in at 1/2 degree AN.

Current top/bottom 10 for May precip at MDT.  The 4th annual Memorial Day wrecker stands between MDT and infamy right now.  On the 6Z GFS it is totally dry at MDT until June while the CMC does loop the cutoff low into Eastern PA over the weekend ending the chances of a sunny Memorial Day and a record.   Of the months already complete, only 1 has happened in the last 45 years. 

Chilly 42 this AM.  Up to 45 right now.  No frost noted.

Don't give up on that soaker late month yet

It is the make or break for the record with mdt at .19 now.  Having the holiday wet is the unfortunate extra thing to consider.  With no rain potentially be for at least 7 days,  going to be seeing some brown grass.

18Z GFS dropped the Memorial Day soaker....but has another frost opportunity.   Always manages to have some drama.

I was able to get a mow in before the showers arrived.

I think that is mow #7 for me this season.

I had Mow 7 in today as well assuming it would rain some.   With this grass watering I will have some grass going into June with is a plus.  Mowing higher this year. 

We got about .07" in the first wave...maybe a bit more behind it.  Watered the grass.  USGS not paying attention to it.

Mountains are eating it alive it appears

One of my spotters has light to mod rain a few miles west of Enola right now. 

Approaching Harrisburg and not look too bad on radar.
