buckeye

hopefully we can get something with the front coming through, although it's like spitting on sand at this point. Our drought is getting insane. Pretty sure large areas of our lawn are not just dormant but completely dead and will need replaced. This reminds me of the summer of '88 in southern OH....but it's actually worse.

Well said. Josh makes a valid point about feb2015 but if you're going to have record cold waves you expect them to happen in Feb. Just like you'd expect August for record heat. You never really think of the transition months like March as having such an extreme temp departure for so long. I mean March is still considered Winter and yet we had such crazy heat for that time of year.

drought begets droughts.....and that area is right over Hocking Hills and Wayne National Forest which is the foothills of the Appalachians. We need a wholesale pattern shift or help from tropical systems or it's going to get ugly when the leaves start dropping. Speaking of tropical systems.... wasn't this suppose to be an epic season? Granted we still have a month and a half of prime season but I don't think anyone was expecting it to be this slow going into September.

Temperature-wise, I still think the most impressive run was Morch 2012, with Michigan having the most impressive departures. Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't many places in central and northern MI have temps well into the 90's?

If this continues, southeast OH into WV is going to be tee'd up for one hell of a wildfire season this fall.

in fairness I did read a lot of hype about an early, hot dry start to summer. LC was constantly beating the Morch drum all winter. It seems like we haven't been able to keep a true heat wave locked in for quite awhile. Instead it's 2-4 days of above and then a break to equally anomalous lower temps. Kinda wouldn't mind a good ole fashioned shirt soaking lemonade drinking hankerchief wiping heat wave.

2am is 8 hours away. Who cares what’s happening at 2am, we need to worry about what’s happening in 3 hrs(central Ohio). Hard to imagine much weakening is going to happen in that time…probably the opposite.

One other thing about kfc, they have the best damn cole slaw ever. I don't usually like mayonnaise-based slaw, but theirs's is awesome. I literally stopped there once for lunch, went thru the drive-thru and ordered 2 family-sized slaw tubs, (I was kinda embarrassed so I ordered 3 drinks so they wouldn't think it was all for me). I ate both entire tubs. Next day was brutal though....felt bad for my wife.

here we go again

Lol....I get it. My son-in-laws parents live up in extreme NW Ohio. Every time they come down here they never miss a chance to go there. I'm more of a KFC fan myself

I don't know what it is about that place. I have one about 5 mins from me and I never go. It's fcking chicken fingers with a dip that's basically ranch and ketchup mixed.

That's what I've heard. His balls descend when he logs on and ascend when he logs off.

You're not doing Egypt? j/k, but that would be pretty damn cool too.

I know it's not in our sub but I don't ever recall seeing a day 6 30% threat....chasers must be drooling

Totally lucked out. Blue sky with some wispy cirrus Had 45 seconds of total where you could look without glasses. It sounds obvious but it got much darker than I expected probably because I had only seen partial eclipses in the past and always expected those to be darker. Crickets started chirping street lights came on and you could hear people cheering in the distance. Bucket list checked without having to leave my yard.
