The grass up here is growing at an unbelievable rate for this time of year. I weed wacked on Monday, and today looks like I didn't do anything. Same for the grass mowing too.

.47 this morning.

It looks like it's gonna be a hot one down in Alton, Va. next week for Blue Ridge Rock Festival. Were camping this year (at the festival) along with probably another 25,000-30,000 other campers.. Were leaving Tuesday afternoon in order to check in early Wednesday morning. Might not be too comfortable sleeping at night in the tent for 5 nights. https://blueridgerockfest.com/

Don't worry if things go south Bubbler has already assembled a team of bounty hunters ready to go at a moments notice, They will find you and bring you to Pa. for trial, in front of judge Blizz.

Blizz might not be happy with that decision.

They seem very certain this morning it's coming. Maybe this will bring Voyager home.

Nothing will be official until the carpet and tile guys declare it. update: they are all in on the heatwave for next week.

Send your friends here in the east (Pa. in particular) some heat, some after September 1st will be in winter mode already.

the real Pillow area transit:

Yea this year were wet since June. But I remember several years ago everyone around me was getting summer thunderstorms and our area was missed. So maybe next year it will be different.

Just had a rain shower .06 fell.

About another half inch rain has fallen since yesterday.

I guess we'll have to wait on the final tallies and see if they add up. This coming winter could be fun especially if they under predict snowfall.

.25-.50 total rain till tomorrow night The carpet and tile guys might be on to something. Nws dropped there amounts too.

I guess I better get to the mowing.

I guess I read your post wrong. I don't know what the shagged carpet, tile guys are looking at.

So carpet and tile guys for the win?

I went through Pillow this afternoon, your in luck there is a 2 story house for sale by owner. Pillow would welcome drought stricken people like you to their community.

And that rain has him busy mowing.

53 this morning, this temp. will bring Blizzard of 93 out of hibernation. Who knows maybe he'll even post a snow map today

.47 from the wind driven thunderstorm at 1:30 am.

Picked up .20 from that.

.98 rain last night. Kudos to NWS for sticking to their game plan. On another note DT is mentioning 2 possible Derecho threats next week.

What are your thoughts on severe weather later today?
