Where is your wxstation site? Is it online?

It was, took it down after wind snapped off the pole it was on.

Haven’t got around to putting it back up since I want it located right instead of putting it back where it was. Thanks @dendritefor the siting link.

Rain gauge is trustworthy though.

Low 90’s in August.

Color me surprised.

Low 90s forecast for Philadelphia where I’m located starting tomorrow through Monday or Tuesday of the upcoming week. Had three rounds of thunderstorms today some with torrential downpours … still raining lightly with a temperature of 81 and a Rangoon”ish” dew-point of 78.

Just wondering where it sits since your dew is 4- 5 lower than his and you are neighbors

Could it be possible the tarmacs are too low? Or maybe both environments are represented by reality

Just for reference for those that don’t know. Jordan Foster’s brother owns a HUGE ass tobacco farm that spans multiple towns.

Pretty cool stuff. Might have to take a drive. Never seen a tobacco farm up close

In a milk crate, in a busted ass utv, surrounded by tall ass weeds and mushrooms.

CT is world renowned for their tobacco for cigar wrappers

Mass too.

Old glacier CT river valley.

As soon as you get out of the valley, you won’t see any tobacco farms.

We’re just on the eastern side of said valley.

I remember old man Bill Dunn telling my grandfather how his farm was as far east is you could get.

Ain’t going to be pushing 100 like earlier this summer.

Still milder than that stretch.

[JACKASS]

Alcohol 

Tobacco 

Firearms

Still run by the government like the mob days.

Just notice that firearms was added last on the list.

Rub some peanut butter on that, see if you can get a good reading of the environmental conditions inside its mouth.  Bet that’d be pretty dewy.

The one thing I don’t need to add to my problems.

Yet, I’ve seen them around. Just cubs meandering about, mom and dad can’t be too far off.

How do you all walk around knowing you could just stumble upon one of those at any given time?

I carry a hand cannon just for varmints (woodchucks, groundhogs, whatever you want to call them).

Fuckers are mean as hell cornered.

Raccoons and opossums are also subject a round being fired.

We have coyotes, but  even they keep a low profile.

Neighbors complain about pets disappearing, and animal control encourages reporting them and (shall we say dealing with them).

But, can’t imagine bears walking about on a daily basis.

They’re protected. You just have to run and hope anything or anyone makes it on their own!

Huh?  Bears are the most shy animals out there.  I hiked into one two days ago.

Thing just stared at me and then seemed embarrassed I was looking at him and turned away… walked down the path a bit and looked back again, then fled.

I would 100% run into a black bear out of most other things.  Moose are the mean motherf*ckers who will stand off with you.  Bear just want to eat their berries and grasses alone.

Thankfully I don't have any. I've only seen tracks once. Although some beehives were raided nextdoor.
