  1. Locusts are out. Really a picture perfect July day. 82 full sun and no breeze. Summer is chugging along
  2. My temp gauge just 1 mile south of Willard airport had 100 for a solid hour. Inferno.
  3. Missed out on the rains Friday afternoon/evening, 0.5” in roughly one month at the homestead. It is bone dry.
  4. Moderate drought officially in east central Illinois. If this weekends rain doesn’t materialize, we could be in trouble. Right now forecast has 0.2”. 88 currently, should tag 90. lawns are getting crispy.
  5. Have to wonder if this flash drought will have a feedback loop for July and August. Mother Nature always has the final say, never thought two weeks away we were going to have back to back brutal heatwaves. the pattern sucked for March, April, May.
  6. Weather couldn’t be anymore perfect right now, 80 with 44% humidity. Kicked off Father’s Day weekend with some smash burgers off the blackstone , topped with Vidalia onion, garden tomato, sweet pickles and mustard. Cooked the pops dinner and we shared some IPAs. Happy Father’s Day to all those fathers out there, and especially @Brian D this has to be tough for you.
  7. I’m here, if you were even talking about me enjoying this weather. Although, with the miss south this morning, corn is starting to wilt and shrivel around here. It’s been an impressive heatwave in these parts. Crazy reversal of weather, cool and wet was the theme until 10 days ago, and now burnt grass and corn parched for water. Heatwave #2 next week. Was going to take the boy to the Brookfield zoo next Wednesday, but that’s postponed.
  8. Tagged 94 yesterday, and 92 today, today is much more comfortable with less humidity. Yesterday HI was at 103, it was swampy outside.
  9. Rain and overcast returning by the end of next week? Really hope we don’t have a summer 2009 redux.
  10. Summer mode 100% engaged. Getting the pool filled next week, the smell of grills in the air, and everyone in the neighborhood is chipper and out walking. I absolutely love this time of year, as you know summer is near and the humidity is low. Absolutely top shelf day. Dad and I are cooking all the women steaks and twice bakes, finally for the first time this year everyone is outside enjoying the weather with no wind. Bring on summer 2022!
  11. Spring 2013 was pretty damn awful too, this isn’t quite as bad. Farmers will be going gangbusters, as some fields remain virtually untouched from last harvest. the leaf out explosion will be fun to watch as well. After months of cold, overcast, dreary days next week will be good for the mental health.
  12. Since April 1st it has rained 24 of the last 36 days. The flip next week is truly remarkable, with zero precip in my forecast and July like temps. I don’t even remember 2018 flip being this severe. Either way an entire week of dry and hot weather is fine with me. It’s been a miserable spring thus far.
  13. Today was a carbon copy of yesterday, with a tad more clouds. Just top shelf weather for mid March. Rain moves in tomorrow, should green up the grass, which has taken off the last 24-36 hours.
  14. Tagged 72, it’s rare to have virtually no breeze this early into spring and be this warm, today was top shelf. bring on green grass, and thunderstorms. side note, used the Blackstone and made Philly cheesesteaks, these things are awesome!
  15. Winters last gasp this weekend? Next week looks mild and dry.
  16. Missed the record by 1 degree, topped out at 72. Seen my first bee today!
  17. 64 sunny and dead calm outside. Yeah I’m ready to turn the page to spring.
  18. The coming week looks mild and dry, to be honest I’d be perfectly fine with an early spring. Hearing rumblings of a possible PV disruption, so let’s see what happens. March is my least favorite month out of the year, so hope it comes and goes in a blink.
  19. 41 and the drip drip is on. This weeks pattern looks like a wash rinse and repeat of last week. Regardless of what happens, the spring itch is coming very soon. I bought a black stone and I’m desperately ready to sit on the patio and cook.
  20. Wind whipped snow, chili, ipa, wood burning stove,and waiting on horizon forbidden west tonight for the ps5. Life is grand.
  21. we lived through misery for years. Take one on the chin bud, we did All jokes aside, I did not expect these conditions until About 24 hours ago, in fact I welcomed the northern crew getting the love. It’s fun outside, legit blizzard right now, okay okay I’m rubbing it in. Drinking a yummy ipa and just started the wood burning stove with a hot batch and of chili.
  22. 45mph wind gusts wind whipping heavy snow right now. This is fun.
