3 blocks from my house, the water is glass, can’t beat this.

Spartaman is not going to like the Old Farmer’s Almanac outlook for the summer. Hot and dry pretty much everywhere, except in Ohio and surrounding areas. At least it’ll still be hot - although with all that rain, you have to assume it would be more from warmer minimum temperatures.
 

If you're going to Miami this summer, make sure to take a hoodie. It's going to be cool there.

today sunnier and nicer than expected so far

Nice thing about May is the sun will make it feel much better than the actual temp if it's out.

First time trying to grow grass. The rain and garden hose are getting the job done. Tomorrow’s rain will be welcome. Look at these little babies.

Got down to 38 here this morning.

Improved drought status from all the recent precip we've had up my way. We'll see if we can at least maintain that in the coming weeks. Doesn't look like much precip in the forecast/models for my area. I'm expecting better potential late May into June for some heavier stuff.

Absolute fire hose off the lake today. Would love to see this in November

Could’ve swore that was one of my kids on our lake at first glance haha (also 3 blocks from my house). 
 

We don’t get too many nice glass days, it’s always windy and cold, or windy and hot with tons of wake from all the boats. Awesome picture.

Some cold rain incoming

Cold raw and rainy day today. Yesterday was a cool spring day but nice for a walk.

42 this morning here. Been stuck under the core of that cutoff all day and haven't broke out of the 40's with rain up until a couple of hours ago. The wind was blowing pretty good this morning had a wind chill of 35 lol. I woke up with very chilly bones. Had to go pull the propane tank off the grill and hook it up to my Mr. Buddy for a few hours. Need a break from those Winter heating bills 

Edit: And its raining again and 47. I'm going back to sleep lol.

Sunset up here was pretty cool especially out over the lake. The sky turned several different shades as the sun went down. Also caught this in Racine just north of the system which was a nice bonus

I have been home from Florida for 65 days and I think we've had maybe 20 decent days. I'd be okay if we deleted march and April from the calendar.
