.54 here in akron. Looks like the voyager precip shield has found a new home in his absence. Ship it to Az would ya? I dont want it.

backbuilding out west gives me hope that i wont be seeing dust twisters much longer. saw several during my travels today. Parched.

.11 here. Whoopyfriggindoo.... looks like southern lanco did ok last night tho (as per AM news outlet met Steve Knight). Broke my belt on my JD mower, so I guess I've got time to fix it as grass is shades of brown w/ green highlights....(probably weeds).

.04 in Akron. soaked

You forgot Fred Gadomski. He and Knight were the longest 2 running mets on the show. The next gen has largely taken over (cept for the not hard to look at Marisa Ferger and Jon Nese -one of my favs) comes in from time to time. Still like watching it in the cold months.

we got a 15 min gully washer at home, but nothing more than sprinkles coming due east from Etown. Like I said earlier, it look pretty dry for the foreseeable future, so I hope many get some today, but still looks about as paltry as Thurs did on nooner meso's.

feelings......

oof. Just peeked at the nooners, and it looks like other than a paltry shower w/ Thurs frontal boundary passage, we may not see a drop of rain through this upcoming fall teaser weekend. While we say hello to the welcome respite, wave goodbye to any gains your semi green lawn has made.

You cant fix stupid.....right?

As usual...your responses are well thought and well taken. Last week I saw a crotch rocket doing at least 100 and weaving in n out of traffic. I shake my head and say a prayer for their safety before the laws of average catch up to them. You are correct, bad apples in EVERY bunch. Plenty of car drivers fit that as well. When on a bike, riding defensive is an ABSOLUTE must, or you'll be in trouble. EVERY intersection, every blind turn....etc, etc. While some may question why we do it....if you do it and do it right.....the reward largely outweighs the risk. Ok....sorry to derail....get back to your heat chatter....I'm coping far better than i can remember (losing weight and excersize helping?) Looking forward to turning the calendar and hoping to be back w/ more frequency as I come outta da cave for my favorite time of year. Have a good one gang.

you deserve it bud... grass will be there another day. Cant imagine fighting fires in this heat and remember my son coming home from it just soaked to the bone. Thx for what you do.

aww...thanks bud. All good. Yes, a good friend of my son's just went down, and thank God he was wearing a brain bucket....Just had surgery on Friday to put pins n plate in shoulder. Several in the group have had BAD accidents on bike, but if you've ever had a chance to ride or ride on a motorcycle...I'd still suggest trying it. The feeling of a beautiful back road and riding w/ friends and family is truly a wonderful thing and keeps ones sanity in check in these crazy times. There are always risks in life.... We'll keep the tires on the road. Promise. Just tell peeps to stay off phones and pay attention for us....

Headed on a motorcycle trip Thurs. at 7am w/ my son an 9 other father/sons and a couple friends of the dads that are going. Looks like the request to Mo Nature didn't go unanswered. Looking forward to seeing Skyline Drive, WVA mtns, Harrisonburg, Shenandoah Nat. forest, and whatever else we find. Thanks in advance Mo

so does your beer get served in a small wine like glass in 6-8oz servings..... just preppin myself for what I've got myself into . I owe you one. Next couple weeks, I'll swing up after work and pay my dues. Stuff out to the west is on the move, but slowly, so I'd think you have a little more time in the sun, before any storms pop (assuming they hold together once east of mtns).

90 here in Akron. Start thinking about what you want for beer. Just checked satellite loop, and you are gonna win pal.

I'd guess yes, as the cloud deck has broken up east of the mtns and likely will cause enough instability to aid their trek east, but I was wrong about the cloud deck holding, so maybe listen to someone else on this one....

I'll drink to that. Cheers.

LOL. I only work here....don't blame me. Not my favorite town by any stretch..... You drink your swanky stuff....leave the MHL and ML to Sauss and I. Joking aside, my beer pallet was expanding nicely over the years, but Miller is my go to now as its sugar free.

82 on car themo in downtown etown. saw enough blue sky that i better start saving up for my beer bet w/ Canderson. I'm sure he drinks that swanky stuff.

I'll take that bet. You're on....unless you are taking thermo reading from here.

I know the 70 part sucks, but I'm betting temps dont get beyond mid 80's w/ cloud deck and slug of moistness potentially heading our way from out west. Cloud deck for the win.

storms danced around us last night but had like 12 drops around 8pm. today looks moister and that's fine by me. Clouds keeping a lid on temps. I'll take it.

probably had a black rubber roof....but hey....whatever it takes... full discloser car thermo between Etown and NE lanco saw 97-99. Not that 1 degree more means that much in the overall scheme of things, but I actually though the humidity was not too oppressive. By 6:30 pm it was 84 on way to a meeting in Denver Pa. Clouds and storms bouncing around likely helped.

hope all goes well. Enjoy your heat.
