LOL, well, after we had a partly cloudy day and more sunshine than last 8 or so days combined it is now raining again, on a 10% chance from both NWS and TWC.... glad I picked up a couple lottery tickets.

HEY! I see this large bright white-yellow light thing in the sky that just popped out of the clouds! Wow, except for about a 45 minute stretch late yesterday afternoon of in and out sun, this is the most sunshine in about a week!

So, the sun has ALMOST broken thru the cloud cover at 3 pm, first 'brightness' in several days.

53.9/51.0 and STILL socked in the low clouds here... maybe later this afternoon we will get to see the sun again. On the plus side all the grass I planted in the new area I extended the yard a bit is up and thriving.

Ran mine for the same time period, amazing that both PRISM and NOAA VERY much underestimate my precip from June forward...

I'll GLADLY take a repeat of 86-87 winter, especially Jan and Feb.

0.31 in gauge at 7 am this morning from drizzle that started around 5 pm. Nothing showed on radar for 99% of the time. Another 0.08 in gauge since 7am with the continuing drizzle and fog.

I missed all of this, sounds like you're having an awesome time Bob, congrats! Can't wait to see the final build!

Just 0.16 in the gauge at 7 am here, raining pretty steady in last hour and looks like another 0.10 in there now. Cool at 51/50 and a light N breeze at 7. Will be interesting to see if we break 60 degrees today, record 'low max' is 62 from 1983.

^^ Agree with above, thanks for all the work you put into this Roger! ^^

Well, after the past couple winters, we need something like this to return to 'average' for the average.... bring it!

52/50.8 currently with clouds and a light NW breeze, 0.30 of rain on a cloudy Sunday and a 67 high, felt 'fallish', I like!

Picked up a bit over quarter inch of rain overnight (0.28), cloudy and foggy currently and 57.6/56.6. Hoping for more to fall today.

Another wonderful weather day! High 75.8, low 46.8. Currently 47.2/46.0 with just a bit of fog around.

What a super day past 24 hours has been, high 75.1, low (and current) 47.3. I see what small growing season Caanan had is done, currently 24 degrees at the NWR station.

52.0 this morning after a 77.2 high yesterday, very nice. Some color starting to show in places, mostly yellow but have seen a couple reds.

Yeah, I said "WOW" when I saw that this morning when entering my data. That is crazy. A giant 'T' for me last night, stuff all around in late afternoon and evening, I had just enough fall to wet surfaces..... Pretty foggy here this am, least it isn't as warm (61.7/61.0 currently).

After a few sprinkles yesterday morning and again around 5 pm as a large T-storm just went to my SE, finally a bit of rain from a T-storm between 3 and 4 am this morning. 0.23" Currently 62.2/61.4.

90.0 on the button for high, 3rd 90 or greater of the year, other two were yesterday (9/6) at 90.9 and 7/29 at 90.4.

Those ARE the temps you are looking for....

WOW what a shock to the system yesterday! Left Seattle at 55 degrees and arrived in Dulles at 98 degrees, yuck! Spent 12/13 glorious days in Alaska and aboard a cruise ship doing the Inside Passage. The BEST weather day was the one that counted, Glacier Bay, about 60 degrees and sunny all day, everyone had a sunburn from the sun and the reflection back off the water and snow. Rest of trip was in and out of fog and clouds/drizzle and in the 50's for the most part. Whittier is a STRANGE place (where we boarded ship from the train), big docks, large ships, a huge building and about nothing else lol.

VERY late with August numbers, just got back from Alaska and a cruise thru Inside Passage, wonderful! Anyway, numbers for August 2023- Averaged high was 82.0 degrees vs a normal of 82.7 degrees, a -0.7 degrees below average, warmest temp recorded was 88.2 degrees on the 22nd. Averaged low was 59.5 degrees vs a normal of 60.4 degrees, a -0.9 degrees below average. The coldest temp recorded was 48.8 degrees on the 20th. Overall averaged temp was 70.8 degrees vs a normal of 71.6 degrees, a -0.8 degrees below average. Total rainfall for the month was 2.52 inches vs the normal of 3.32 inches, a -0.80 inches below average. There were 11 days with measurable, 4 days with a 'T', and 16 dry days. Highest wind recorded was 31 mph on the 8th. There was one new record, a new 'cool max' on the 4th. Overall a slightly cooler and drier month. Without the 0.95" that fell on the 8th it would have really been a dry month. Special thanks to the neighbor and dad for keeping up with stuff (and cat feeding lol) while gone 13 days.

Heading out of town today, so here are my picks for the month of Sept. DCA: -0.2 NYC: -0.5 BOS: -0.6 ORD: -0.3 ATL: +0.8 IAH: +1.2 DEN: +1.4 PHX: +2.1 SEA: +0.3 Thanks

LOL, we just did ANOTHER 9 qts of pickles, cucumbers out the ears this year. I think somewhere near 35 qts and 20-25 pints of B&B, dill and spicy dill packed up for the next year or two. No cukes next year. We'll get at least one more round off the current plants from the looks of the small ones coming on.
