They have been searching for a big man since Robert Parrish, Time lord just can't stay healthy to be able to help you long term and has to have his minutes scaled back.

Ask Dallas about Porzingis staying healthy.  

Blight in June?  Is that a thing?

We've been hearing that the Nam was gonna be discontinued for years too, then every winter folks remember that they'd have to work between 830 and 945AM if they cancel it.

Your tan in the summer at the beach must be great. The “Jean” tan. Tanned feet.. a white jean suit above that and then tan from the waist up 

Tanned feet?  Is that like the Huck Finn look?

Anyway now that the dews might finally show up (7 weeks late) we'll consider retrieving that bin from the attic.

Lol. That’s insane . Only times most folks seem to wear jeans are 50’s or cooler and even if it’s 50’s shorts are perfectly comfortable with a hoodie or pullover. So when you’re doing yardwork, sitting in the sun , at pool or beach you wear jeans.. do you go in the water in jeans?

we do outdoor work in boots and carhartts, not flip flops and bermuda shorts.  Maybe you could scoop oak leaves out of the pool in those and it would be ok.

sprinkler?

Nice find though.  I guess the weather service tossed it, or overlooked it.

You wear jeans when temps are in the 60’s, 70’s, 80’s, and 90’s?

certainly.  Jeans a t shirt.    Possible exception made for full court 5 on 5.

Don't worry, based on what I see....they'll be the size of blue Jays by the 4th of July.

tough day?  lol

Having come back from DFW last week which tied its all time record DP of 80 on Thursday, I'm thinking we can survive sun and clouds, pop up showers, and mid 60s dews.  Might even break out the shorts finally.  Most of us haven't even considered them since last September. 

never seen fewer mosquitoes here.  I think the very dry May with multiple frosts and a mid month 27 degree morning must have done a serious number on them. 

FWD disco casually dropping mentions of Jarrell 97

DFW may approach all time record dews of 80F.  It's been hit 5 times, interestingly, twice in 97 (late may, again mid June).

Got attacked by a Scissortailed Flycatcher in Texas today while climbing a ladder past her nest with 3 babies in it.  

Truly a magnificent bird!

2 days in a row with greater than 4" hail in the metroplex

Just missed.  Looked like small hail up in Leverett

PWM may set a record low max today.  Yesterday was #3 on the (roughly) midnight high.  But the daytime high was 5 degrees colder than the record low max from 1915.

Pretty good bet that somewhere in the Shirley Lake/Granite Chief area of PT will have snow into August this year.  It's not too bad of a hike over from High Camp

Is that a flying eagle on Radar in Foster RI area

I'm not seeing it here Lloyd

Nice storm though

Just now, weatherwiz said:

That's headed towards me, Hope it isn't close to the end of its life cycle. Hopefully it will pulse up more as it heads south 

Yeah looking like it's weakening and ticking west also.  I could have used the rain.  Might get a few sprinkles.

Congrats on the hail folks

Here locally seeing some velocities on the UMass radar to 45-50 MPH in this cell as it drops down the valley. Not severe but not terrible.

Dig a little canal into the neighbor's yard maybe

lol...got hit by a big one this morning 5 minutes after I put the feeders out. Oh well.

In lieu of installing I just leave the doors and windows open during the day when home.  Hopefully I don't get an uninvited visitor dropping in, but it's not out of the question.

My son had a bear cross the road in front of him today.

This fella just wandered out onto the lawn.  I saw my wife go running and thought maybe her phone was ringing.

Got to 81F here too, with dews in mid-30s… 20% RH.

46 degree diurnal swing from patchy frost at 35F to 81F.  What a day.

This is why we've been going to Truckee in July lately

When you chop it you can always use it as a rhubarb substitute in recipes. 

My wife and I joke that the risk of famine is widely overstated in light of this fact
