  2. I can remember back in 1988 summer when it was hot. I took a thermometer in the creek at my place where we have a swimming hole in the middle of the creek. The hole is about 5 foot deep in between 2 big rocks. In between the rocks the current flows, thats where I held a wire that was attached to My thermometer about half a foot under the water. The temperature was 88. The water felt like bath water. You cooled off but it wasn't exactly what I call refreshing. If we get several days of hot temperatures this week I'll have to see what the temperature of the creek is this time.
  3. Didn't it hit 104 in Harrisburg in July 16, 1988, I just checked it did I remember that day. Severe thunderstorms came through later in the afternoon.

  7. And in 6 months or so our heating systems will be getting a workout.
  8. Idk why the rain has been like this. Some places get decent rain and other places hardy get any. I'm about 30 miles away from you as the crow flies. And the amount of rain you received compared to me is stunning. Hopefully soon you and others will cash in on decent rain.
  9. .47 rain today. 1.83 for the week. 2.86 for the month.
  10. Note: With the expected heat coming next week. Everyone should try to take it easy and be aware of these warning signs for your health. This is not for this weekend. But maybe our area might have similar conditions later next week.
  11. The tomato plants are on the edge of being too wet. I didn't give them too much water when I was irrigating.
  12. Yes I agree while some of us had good rains this week (i had 1.37 this week) others missed out and are very dry, I started irrigating, pumping water out of the creek last Friday for our garden on a sprinkler system (more like a truck patch). Now that I got 1.37 rain this week and irrigating, my garden is actually too wet now at places.
  13. I guess Summer will be here in full force. Tuesday Mostly sunny, with a high near 91. Tuesday Night Partly cloudy, with a low around 71. Wednesday Sunny and hot, with a high near 98. Wednesday Night Mostly clear, with a low around 74. Thursday Sunny and hot, with a high near 101. Thursday Night Mostly clear, with a low around 75. Friday A chance of showers and thunderstorms. Mostly sunny and hot, with a high near 98.
  14. Good rain last night wasn't expecting that much. .86 rain last night. 1.37 for the week and 2.39 for the month.
