JTA66 Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 I've been listening for cicadas, but nothing here yet. Already 89F with a DP of 72. Short range models show storms firing up later today -- could be gully washers if you get under one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChasingFlakes Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 Guess I picked a good time to spend 2 weeks at the beach. Its rained for 10 minutes here since last Saturday and we had anywhere from a 2-4ft swell all last week. Cant ask for more in July in DE/MD.

With the dreadful past warm winter I know tics are more abundant which is annoying. I'm always paranoid if I travel through high grass/woods going fishing if one of those bastards is clinging to me even after a shower... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
