36.5 for low here this am, new record, beat 38's from 1984 and 1991. Just a little frost on roofs and car tops.

Glancing at the rain gauge in the dark looks like a .4 or so today, still lightly raining.

45 this am, nice!

If it is in the same spot that IS eerie!!

Another dry day! 3 in a row, first time that has happened since 7/18-7/22 here. I've decided 77 for a high and 49 for a low should be the national summer temperature, like a flag or flower or bird.....

Only down to 54.2 this am after yesterday's 51.5. Still 1000% better than previous month of weather. 2nd dry day in a row here, I think the last time that happened the calendar was on July.

UGH! I lost the tranny in MC last summer. Well, the front seal blew and then that cooked the TC. About 1100 bucks to fix right since it was apart. The old guy did a heck of a job, people brought cars there from all over. Sadly he passed away about 3 months after he fixed mine. He was 80 and STILL working on them! Course his son (whom I graduated HS with) is now running the place after being in the business with his dad for 30 years. Hope the tooth goes well!

You can thank 10/10/1979 for that

Definitely the full experience, blue lights and all @334 and 435 lol!

Another 0.73 inches, a 'cheapy' new daily rainfall, as for some reason the 16th hasn't had much here in last 40 years. Old mark was 0.68 from 1998. Also set new 'cool minimum' with a 68.3 degree high, old mark was 72.0 from 1992 and 2013. Right at 5 inches for the month now.

Month so far....12 of 15 days with measurable, a T and 2 dry....sheesh. 4.25 for month and 2.84 last two, which were new daily records each, 2.02 for 14th and 0.82 for 15th.

Caps currently in same spot in playoffs as my Blackhawks, but came in with COMPLETELY different expectations.....
