CoolHandMike Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 Looks like the main red cell that was heading my way has decided to move south. We're still going to get rain, and it does look rather mammatus-y out there, but dang. Was hoping for a soaker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AND in reply to a tweet asking about the Bethany/Dewey/Rehoboth DE funnel/waterspout, I finally saw their assessment - That was one of the "earlier" ones in the outbreak that I had been following as it happened so I am glad to finally see what the assessment was there.

Hurricane Agnes Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 That final line that came through here gave me 0.21" and along with the first round's 0.76", total for the event was 0.97". My high for yesterday was 74 and it's currently 59 and clear about 15 minutes before sunrise, with dp about the same, but with enough puffs of a breeze to preclude any fog.

JTA66 Posted August 2, 2021 Author Share Posted August 2, 2021 Yesterday was Lammas Day 2021, the mid point of astronomical summer. Let's see... -Eagles 1st round pick already out with an injury -Phils choking down the stretch -Flyers sign crap back up goalie Yep, we're right on schedule. Picked up .40" yesterday.

CoolHandMike Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 Spent a lovely day out in the field today. Looking forward to working outside in this unseasonably cool weather the rest of the week, though it's already looking like next week will be a scorcher. Ah well, enjoying it while it lasts. Speaking of, enjoyed spending a few minutes on the deck this evening until the mosquitos zeroed in. I've just cancelled my monthly lawn pest control service as it seemed to not work at all. My wife wants to try a biological approach, so we'll see how that turns out. Anyway, we decided to try to not turn on the A/C for as long as we could today and actually made it all day with only minor discomfort for my work-from-home wife and my stay-at-home mother-in-law. I think we're gonna try to see how long we can go as our electricity bill has been pretty atrocious this spring/summer already. Ceiling fans in almost every room for the win. About to turn in; really nice 62°F/57°DP atm. Make mine an extra spicy bloody Mary please, @Birds~69. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I planted a "mosquito control" herb garden with some Citronella, Lemongrass, Clove, Peppermint, Eucalyptus, and Lavender around my patio and it does a pretty good job of keeping them away. I also have a big oscillating fan that I use if I'm hanging outside in the evening. Between those 2 things, I rarely need to put on bug spray unless I venture off into the yard. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just pull out my old school "punks" and call it a day. I ended up hitting 80 for a high yesterday and 61 for a low this morning. There was some early low stratus that made a brief appearance before sunrise here and that gave way to a general cloud deck, and an overcast sky most of the day so far. Currently overcast and 77 with dp 55. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mom used to love those and I forgot where she would get them (sometimes her sister would bring a bunch down from NH when she visited over the summer), but she would dry them and then keep them in an old umbrella stand in the sun porch as decoration. Of course we had to be careful lest they explode and deposit tufty seeds all over the place. The sun managed to pop out for a bit this afternoon and that sent the temps up. Wasn't sure if I'd get to 80 but I did as a high and it's currently back down to 78 and mostly cloudy again, with dp 53. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurricane Agnes Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Yesterday I didn't make it to 80 and had a high of 78, although my 63 low was a little warmer than previous mornings. This morning's low was 61, some cool-looking altocumulus that were overhead here disappeared, and am currently all blue sky and 77 with dp 63.
