Itstrainingtime

95/67 here at 1:45. Puts the HI just under 100.

Just hit 90. At least the hours of daylight are shortening. It's going to have to work harder to get hot soon.

I see Bubbler is overflowing with positive vibes these days.

I was reading comments from the Lancaster county agriculture department that said the combination of high heat AND lack of rainfall is significantly impacting the current yield. Corn can thrive in heat but it needs rainfall to grow. That's what I got for you.

Well, good and bad, the success of any organization usually reflect one at the top of the pecking order. Angelos has undeniably turned a once very proud into a laughingstock. The O's have had several highly touted arms over the past couple of decades or so that never developed as hoped. (Hello Dylan Bundy) How many young players have suffered significant injuries in our farm system? Something doesn't seem right there either. It's part of the game, sure, but we do injuries better than anyone else. That's discouraging too. We've been hearing for years about the next great arm to anchor the rotation and we're still waiting. I gladly drove 90 minutes each way to 33rd Street (20-30 times a season) when I was younger to support them but in recent years it's been a couple of trips a season...at most. There was a time when you could proclaim to be an Orioles fan and feel a lot of pride in saying that. No more. It's a shame. It's humiliating to go to a home game when the visiting team's fans outnumber us 4-1.

Jumping in from Lancaster Pa as a 45 year fan and former season ticket holder for my beloved O's. This is likely an historically bad team - I'm going 9-51. If my 76ers could manage just 9 wins in 82 games back in 1972 there's no reason why this team can't match it in 60 games.

Fresh sweet corn is in short supply over this way now due to the dry weather. Several stands announced they will be limiting hours and amounts as the current yield is suffering.

Looks like you are in the cross hairs...again!

Only got .22" over the past 24 hours here. Congrats to the areas that really needed rain and got it!

It's about to rain on Rouzerville again...

Nothing remotely close to me. Yet.

It rains in Tamaqua every day it seems...

"She" says she hasn't used that word since her college days. I told her that I wasn't aware that she was such a weather nerd back then. Environment seems ripe for things to blossom soon enough.

Hopefully, there is an increase soon...or it might not be so...copious. LOL

Yep, my split is 80/73 right now. That's gross.

Clouds and rain have given way to full sunshine now. The match has been struck...

72 here now. .31" of rain is today's total.

I just have to say that this is by far the most active our thread has been during any summer that I can recall going back to Eastern and I'm enjoying every bit of it. Somehow, it's helping move summer along faster. Before you know it, we'll be talking about partly cloudy and 52 in January.

Stunning shelf cloud getting ready to move in over me. This has the classic feel of a big daddy boomer.

It is menacingly dark here. Judging by the looks of the radar, Maytown might be even more historic soon

At this rate you'll finish the month near 6".

Hopefully the next run brings the goods in a big way. I've had distant thunder for nearly an hour now and yet the sky looks almost exactly like it did an hour ago. Guessing flood advisories for you soon.
