Well, ended August with 17 mornings with fog with less than a mile visibility.... what is the old tale of number foggy days = snows during winter???

Wife saw it, I missed as I was driving and the rear view mirror blocked my view....

53.5 for low here, like the way month is starting!

DCA: +1.3 NYC: +1.5 BOS: +1.7 ORD: +0.8 ATL: +0.2 IAH: -0.2 DEN: +1.7 PHX: +1.1 SEA: +1.4

Was awakened by the sound of thunder earlier this am, nice little storm and now a gentle rain falling, 65.5/64.4.

VA used to have the "Kings Dominion" thing were schools couldn't start until after Labor Day, counties were allowed to 'exempt out' if they had enough snow days over a certain average of years I believe.

Yep, hit 66.4 a few minutes after that comment, then down it went, so a new 'cool max' for the date of 66.4 degrees, beating 1994's 69 degree reading. I haven't seen 70 degrees in about 66 hours. Currently 58.0/57.2 and cloudy.

Looks like I am headed for a '2 fer', currently 66.3 degrees, which is the high for the day, been 63/64 about all day until the last hour. I'll hold off to see if the 69 from 1994 holds until morning. Crazy cool last 48 hours socked in the clouds/fog/drizzle/ENE winds here.

Managed to tie the record 'cool max' for the date of 68.3 degrees here from 2020. Pretty amazing to do that on tenths of a degree and only 2 years apart.. currently 59.9/59.0 and drizzle/fog.

Clouded over last night, actually had 0.02 in gauge at 7 am from showers that pushed thru around 4-5 am. That helped to hold the temp up, 59.8 at 7 am.

52.9 for the low here, I'll take that ANYTIME in August

Yep, I'll have to wait another week, but definitely will be reseeding some spots.

Understand. There are squirrels, chipmunks, deer and bear that have all crossed the property here. The deer think the hostas on one side of the house are a buffet/salad bar. The squirrels broke into or ate every seed in the birdfeeders set out, the one they had trouble with a bear bent the pole over and smashed it to bits lol.

Sounds like it is time to harvest squirrels then...

I'd take a 12/13 again here too, about 90-95% of average and last snow fell on 4/5 lol.

My numbers for the month of July 2022 Averaged high was 83.8 degrees vs a normal of 83.9 degrees, a -0.1 below normal, warmest temp was 89.5 degrees on the 24th. Averaged low was 63.3 degrees vs a normal of 62.8 degrees, a +0.5 degrees above average, the coolest temp recorded was 55.8 degrees on the 11th. Overall averaged temp was 73.6 degrees vs a normal of 73.4 degrees, a +0.2 above average. Total rainfall for the month was 3.90 inches vs a normal of 4.01 inches, a -0.11 inch below normal. Greatest rainfall was on the 27th with 1.31 inches falling. There were 21 days with measurable, 2 days with a 'T' and 8 dry days. The highest wind recorded was 30 mph on the 6th. Overall a fairly average month. Records for the month was the 1.31 inches of rain on the 27th, setting a new daily rainfall record. The 71.2 degree high on the 11th set a new 'cool max'. The 30 year averages remind me of 'years past', as the highs keep falling but the lows keep rising. I can remember 99 and 100 degree days when I was a youngster, now a 94/95 is a 'hot' day and we didn't make 90 again this July. As opposed to the lows, which the 'reset' is the largest gain/change in lows of any month with a 1.3 degree gain from previous 30 year period. 62.8 vs 61.5.

LATE!!! DCA: +1.7 NYC: +1.8 BOS: +2.1 ORD: +1.6 ATL: +1.4 IAH: +1.9 DEN: +1.7 PHX: +1.2 SEA: +0.3

LOL, I'll see what I can do. County just west of me got rocked, Greenbrier, WV, multiple water rescues and major US routes underwater on their western side in Rainelle/Charmco/Rupert area.

Set a new daily rainfall record of 1.31 here, breaking 1984's 1.10 inches. 95% of that fell in a 2 hour window between 4 and 6 am this morning.

Awesome clouds there!

All excellent points! And congrats to you WxWatcher007!!

We had a decent storm move just south of us yesterday, sorry for those with damage but super happy it appears all is well health wise. Stay safe out there doing the clean up work!

Crushed a 'cool max' here, 71.2 for a high, previous 'low high' was 76.8 degrees in 2009.

5 days in a row of measurable here, 1.28 total. Grass is green and growing in July!!

Happy Birthday, you're running 6 days ahead of mine as usual, lol!
