  1. Are you kidding? Why would talking tropics be a bother? I mean, we can only come on so many times and say it's 91...93...95...you get the point. Any type of anomalous weather is fun to track. I've been following the tropic threads closely.
  2. Every time we have a dry summer or even just a dry stretch of days, I'm amazed at how quickly things dry and burn. Get a run of several 90+ degree days and little to no rainfall and things start dying out quickly. Having said that, this will likely be the first week all season that I won't HAVE to mow - up until now my yard has needed cut every 5-6 days. I'm going to give it a break this week.
  3. 86.4 here at 10:10am...we got this. I saw irrigation going on yesterday afternoon in places that I've never seen. She's drying and dying quickly...
  4. Radar does look lousy. And you're right about going forward as well...not much to be enthused about regarding rain chances over the next week.
  5. I think that's exactly right. Probably a good amount of down sloping from the surrounding ridges. I travel the turnpike a lot and see the same thing happen in Breezewood - it's often 3-5 degrees cooler up on Sideling Hill compared to the land of hotels...
  6. 88 at noon with a good amount of cloudiness. 90 obviously within reach but not totally convinced I make it unless there is more sun than there is now. It actually feels pretty good here with the cloud/breeze combo.
  7. Nope! Season high has been 98. Sitting at 97 right now. Things are getting crunchy underfoot...
  8. Just hit 90. At least the hours of daylight are shortening. It's going to have to work harder to get hot soon.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. Only got .22" over the past 24 hours here. Congrats to the areas that really needed rain and got it!
  12. "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.
  13. Clouds and rain have given way to full sunshine now. The match has been struck...
