Because I am on the far west side of the whole South Mountain Chain I get no protection from warm intrusion from the south in the winter. I live near where the word Pen Mar is printed in blue at the top. The red marker is where I can get to within 5 or 10 min and it looks like it is close to 1800 feet as the peek of Quirack Mountain, where it is over 2000', is off limits due to the government broadcasting towers and Raven Rock/underground Pentagon.

What is your elevation. Over here I am at a bit over 800'. Some days it really keeps us cooler (like yesterday when we only got to 84 and sitting at just 74 right now) but during the winter it has given me no advantage in the two years I have been here now with the majority of storms going by to our west. Doh-Just saw it is in your footer. About 20 feet higher than me. I am at the side and bottom of a 2000'+ mountain so can get over 2000' in less than 5 min for quick checks on the "snow up there" during the winter.

Yea, going back a bit when we had all those spectacular days many areas to the North were frying. I do not think it has been all that hot here. Great Lakes in the 80's is quite warm. Hard to be enthusiastic about going into that water though.

Prolly going to soon start talk of how it will amp up LES season as well. Article does comment that last year at this time one of the people interviewed needed a wet suit to swim.

Yards, farmers crops and wells.

If we are really going to have an overly active Tropical Season its may have to pack it into a month or two. I think July is getting punted. One can say we had the earliest F storm ever so I guess if we have extra non threatening storms it could be considered active?

A surprising 58 temp this morning.

Thats what she sai... Umm, forget it. LOL

Yea, any of those areas that look like especially brown are indeed toast. I am in better shape on my side of the road because I have been setting out a sprinkler several nights a week. Never thought I would need an irrigation system up here but would have been handy this year.

Oh not at all. I was adding astonishment as Carlisle's 1" plus is a flood compared to what we got over here. LOL. Please post away.

Here is our neighbors,. who has not tried to save his like I have mine. I think those really brown areas are not just dormant they are dead and will be dirt spots in the next week or two. This pic is not as dramatic as Cash's almost totally brown/dormant pic.

Oh you are fine. I was not going to post "no rain" yesterday. LOL. Just posting what we are seeing. I think seeing Voyagers post about how little Carlisle had received this month made me want to post my ob's then. LOL

My parents were over yesterday and my dad said it looked like everyone sprayed roundup on their yards.

And his 1"+ is 1000 percent more than we have had over here for July.

It had looked so promising.

Quick quarter inch. Comes at a good time (night) to help the grass still left

Holy moley it's raining. Score one for the Hrrr and gfs. Heads up @Cashtown_Coop

LOL!

We have less than 1/10 of an inch. The remarkable number is since the start of May we have less than 3".

Thanks, and @MAG5035 as well. Its like we are in the NBA Covid bubble where it pertains to rain.

We are in D1 right now regardless of what the US service says. Some people may start having well problems soon though I do not know where underground water level actually is. I just see the corn and grass dying. Some farmers corns stalks have bent over and died especially around the outside edges of their fields. At this point nothing short of a tropical storm like event is going to bring us out of it fully. A 5" gully washer will only account for .5 to 1" of water down in the soil.

HRRR really cuts it off. Downtown Harrisburg is not over 1" on it but Harrisburg does get appreciable rains.

HRRR gives MDT over 1" this afternoon. Its coming.

HRRR stops it at the Susq.
