    Astroturf came from the Astrodome. Those hayseeds in TX initially thought you could grow grass indoors. Big fail! And thus plastic grass was born. Funny because I just finished reading Roger Angell's "The Summer Game" where he writes about his first visit to the Astrodome in 1966 to "witness weatherless baseball played on chemstrand grass under an acrylic-painted Lucite sky".

    I remember going to an evening Phills game on a day like this, 1999 I think. Even though the game started at 7:05, the Vet spent all day absorbing the heat and sunlight. Even after the sun had set, the stadium continued to radiate out all that heat like a cement oven for the entire game.

    92F/DP 78F ...that's about 10 degrees warmer than this time yesterday. If I haven't already made my opinion clear, I'm not a fan.

    85F/DP 76F as we approach 9am.

    I'd pay good money to have that cell over Allentown drift down the NE Extension. 96F/DP 78F

    Took one last Jebwalk this morning for the week. Already 82F/ DP72F. Of course, that's going to seem refreshing come the next several days.

    Currently my forecasted highs for Thursday and Friday are only 100F. Somehow that feels like a small victory. (But yeah, I taking the over.)

    How come heat waves don’t bust in the final 24 hours like snowstorms??

    Heard a lone cicada on this morning's Jebwalk. Seems a little early in the season, so maybe he's just an early riser. Finished with 1.05" last evening. I'm sure most was just run off, but hopefully whatever the lawn was able to absorb will help it survive the week. 70F/DP 69F

    Approaching 1.00”

    It is absolutely pouring here.

    From the “you can’t make this $hit up dept”, I’m under a passing shower. I’ll probably end up with more rain today (our rain-free day) than I did on our rainy Saturday.

    My AC died in July 2011. Went 2 or 3 weeks before a new one was installed. I wouldn’t say I got used to the heat so much as I came to accept the poor state of affairs I found myself in.

    Wonder if it will rival July 1995? And yeah, imma gonna say it… You know how that following winter turned out!

    Hopefully it’s a front loaded summer. Going on a bread, milk and eggs run today. I don’t plan on leaving the house after Tuesday.

    Wouldn’t be surprised to see those overnight “lows” bump up. I imagine PHL records an overnight low of 80F or more next week. Only a T in the bucket today. Driest super El Niño ever.
  18. JTA66
    Eleven drops, maybe 12. 73F/DP 66f
  19. JTA66
    Yes, dry ground and peak sun angle…I think triple digits is achievable for many of us. In other news, our rainy Saturday ain’t so rainy.

    Summer is pretty much over after July 4th
  21. JTA66
    Little more than 0.25" on the day so far. Doesn't do much for the drought but hopefully it will keep the lawn from getting any browner for a few days. 66F/DP 65F
  22. JTA66
    0.08" yesterday. Light rain moving in, hoping to shatter the 0.10" barrier. 68F/DP 67F
  23. JTA66
    Seven-ten split here with a passing shower.
  24. JTA66
    Seeing my first lightning bugs of the season.

    12/5/26…patience!
