Mrs.J

Just got news that the college the youngest Ms. J attends got hit last night by a really bad storm. Her campus is known for its beautiful landscape and to see all the big old trees downed is so sad. No damage to any buildings and no injuries. Other people in Carlisle are showing damage that they got as well. Flooding as well around town. Dickinson Storm Damage 06/30/25

Just got back from DC. Oldest Ms. J was checking out her new apartment. We headed to IKEA and then looked at radar. Told her we needed to not linger. Got to 270 and saw the line coming in and ditched to 28. Made a good decision to do that as 270 got slammed. At home got 0.37”. Hoping for a bit more but will take what I can get.

Mr. J asked me what it got down to overnight. I told him just wait I can look at my station records. It got down to 75 at 5:24am. I agree with @H2O about getting some rain today would be nice.

10:30 with a temp of 86 and a Heat Index of 97. Am seeing lightning all around but even with all this soup have not been able to squeeze an inch of rain out.

My station page is showing my last rain even was 2 days ago. Mind you that was only 0.04. I have had to get into the mode of watering my gardens every other day after such a wet May early June.

Getting occasional flashes of lightning to my East. Not really seeing much on radar.

So nice to not be up at the crack of dawn for my youngest to ride. She is currently rehabbing her pony as a nice light rain shower is coming down here in Aldie. Birds are singing all over.

I think my PWS is broken. It is showing it is 66 out. Really though while we missed out on the rain over here I am glad for this one day of gloom and lower temps before the oven cranks back on tomorrow. I have a feeling though looking into next week that I will be out watering the gardens.

Seeing lightning all around me. But no rain yesterday or today. Went out tonight and watered my front garden beds.

Over on Furnace Mountain watching that storm to the NW blow a nice gust front as it dies.

Getting some thunder guessing off of that warned storm to my NE. I am currently sitting in the Ballenger Split zone.

94.6 with a dew of 78.1. I like a lot of natural light in my house. But have kept all the blinds closed and the house fan on to help the AC not come on as much. Meanwhile sitting here eating leftover Greek rubbed pork tenderloin bites with some homemade Tzatziki. With one of the cats stalking me thinking he will get a quick drive by of pork.

Just hit 100 here. Let’s go down from here the rest of the week.

One of our cats setting the tone for today. Crashed out under a ceiling fan. Current temps here are 89/76 feels like 101 already.

Dad of the year award! I found out I can cook bacon in the air Fryer. Just had some BLEAT’s for dinner.
