I'm tired of the heat and humidity. Good for my caterpillars but I just had 2 cords of firewood delivered to the mountain property and am looking forward to winter there.
I'm guilty of doing that shit too so I'm also poking fun at myself. Mostly with JB though and since I've paid hundreds of dollars a year for quite a few years now for my WB sub I don't feel too bad about it.
The nerve of that guy not to post up free forecasts for everybody on the internet and maintain a free blog and be subject to ridicule and have to defend his weather predictions years later.
Well the storms last night were a bust but it feels pretty nice outside right now so I'm cool with it. Just sleeved out about 125 imperialis ova, gonna be busy in 3 weeks.
I spent a month in Borneo for work about 8yrs ago and every.single.day. at almost the exact same time it would rain so hard you'd start to look for an ark. Then about 30mins later the sun would come out and humidity would go to level 11. Really boring weather if not for the king cobras and giant monitor lizards roaming everywhere like feral dogs.
Wut the fuk? I just checked radar and the entire precip complex is gone. Like totally disappeared. Radar history doesn't even show how it happened. Feels like Theranos. Is it winter already?
Wow a solid blob of rain coming in from the SW. This is perfect. Overcast day, solid dump of rain, then nighttime...perfect to help soil moisture. Maybe I should.lay down some seed before it hits.
Seems like our rain chances keep drying up the day before. I need to overseed, typically I do it during a damp stretch in September. Luckily most of my lawn has transitioned over to moss as trees have grown and shaded it out. It's always green and from a distance looks like lush grass.
It's typical JB where he hypes the winter in his posts:.
"The bottom line is we have a relatively bullish HDD season and when we look at snow, that is likely to be above normal in much of the nation from the Plains to the East Coast."
Crazy loud and long thunder here, vibrating the house. Moderate rain, nothing too heavy. Feels like a sauna outside again. Luckily I got a new condenser coil in my air handler and the outlet air is 58F. I hope this precip pattern lasts to winter.
ALEET!
Weatherbell has their prelim winter forecast out and is predicting below normal temps and above normal snow for eastern US. This is a departure from their usual winter forecast when they predict below normal temps and above normal snow every year.
Look at these babies. Gorgeous coloring and growing very quickly. They do very well on Chaste which is no surprise since they both hail from the Mediterranean. Sent from my Pixel 6 Pro using Tapatalk
