Did not take long for the pollen to rebound.  My God will the wind ever stop this year?

Close to 1300 w/m^2 solar radiation today statewide. Solar panels are probably cooking good.

The pollen was wild yesterday, but the fun part is biking up hills in my neighborhood that face w/nw when we’re in an Upper Midwest pattern.

Late week here looks gross. Breezy, rain and temps (maybe) in the low 50s - for the high. Wouldn't be surprised to see some wet snowflakes on the WV ridges at night. Windy today with a gust around 2 PM clocking in at 51 mph. Otherwise, beautiful day to get the grass cut which looks fantastic (if only it would stay this way).

Spring in deep creek. Worst season of the four by far.

I was attempting a joke about the recent news regarding Chinese made solar panels.

Wow. That's exceptionally high. Irradiance at the top of the atmosphere is roughly 1360. That's usually whittled down to around 1000-1100 due to humidity, aerosols, etc

Got the keys to the cabin on the mountain, construction complete!  Too bad the wind is blowing like crazy, I'm sooo sick of wind this year.  It's relentless.
