And being early this year the (lack of rain) should have us all concerned.

Yes its a pain to set up. Then you gotta move sprinklers around. Get muddy, dirty, wet and sometimes soaked doin this.

I'm gonna have to set up the pump to pump water out of the creek to irrigate my garden.

38 this morning.

We can only hope. Beginning to think that this might be a summer that won't happen. WE need heat and high dewpoints to maybe trigger thunderstorms to get some rain.

37 was the low. No wonder it seems like my tomato plants aren't growing. Too cold at night.

Gonna mow this morning, Really gonna question mowing next week. I see the brown grass making a return where it usually does when it turns dry. But when it turns brown its usually July August...not May. 42 this morning.

Wow no rain according to NWS for the foreseeable future. This could get bad for the agriculture interests.

Is Pillow in the crosshairs for some action?

Um that didn't happen with me. But my grandfather did that. and his generation. He always told the stories about it.

I hope I'm not the oldest. Is there perks for being a senior weather enthusiast?? Asking for a friend.

.CLIMATE... -- Changed Discussion -- Monthly rainfall totals are below to well normal across central PA particularly over the middle and lower Susquehanna Valley. Current monthly total rainfall through 5/22 at Harrisburg (0.19"/-2.53") and Williamsport (0.44"/-2.31") would rank as the driest May on record. Mounting rainfall deficits and potential drought concerns will need to be monitored heading into June and Summer 2023.

I'll be 65 in July. My mind says I'm young, my knees say the hell you are. If it basically wasn't the problem with my knees I'd be good.

Yes not good for agriculture interests

Probably in the mid 90's we went camping up to Sullivan County at Almost Heaven Campground for Memorial Day weekend in a pop-up. We left here from home the temp was a hot 92. Well on the way up we listened to the weather and a cold front was going to come through later on Saturday. Well we weren't prepared for that so we scrambled and went to yard sales to find winter clothes. The temp when we woke up on Sunday morning dropped to 26 and the water hose to the pop up was froze. and the temp only got into the low 60's the rest of the weekend up there. A not an enjoyable weekend to say the least up there.

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

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

I think you'll get to much grout from them when they respond to an out of hours service call.

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

What option you going with?

Rate 0.00 in/hr Daily 0.00 in Weekly 0.00 in Event 0.09 in Monthly 0.55 in Yearly 12.58 in It's been a dry month at last got some much needed rainfall yesterday.

I had a thunderstorm every month so far this year.. except this month.

We can use the rain .46 so far this month.

You think that rain will advance north in Pa.?

Looks like slim pickings in the rain dept tomorrow.
