Haven't been able to, and I see people have trouble with them in general these days in the reviews. Tell me how it goes with your new purchase. I bought one in 2010, used it for about 6 years and gave it to a buddy after I got the Davis VP2. It's still working flawlessly for him apparently. My Davis VP2 only lasted a few years and then the transponder crapped out lol. Got another Vue and it's been working great for the last 3 years or so. Would definitely recommend the Vue.

cyclone77 Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 Just heard the first cicada of the year (the non 17yr kind), always a sign you're entering the armpit of summer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heard the same today, and stopped dead in my tracks. Its the worst sound for that very reason, and is a bit ahead of schedule. (Usually not until ~2 weeks after the 4th around here).

Chicago WX Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 Can verify first cicadas of the summer. Actually heard a few yesterday afternoon, and thought whoa...they're here. Also, lots and lots of manufactured t&l last night. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian D Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 Looks like nature is going to provide the celebratory works this evening. If we cancel fireworks, they will do them next weekend as a part of our annual Heritage Days celebration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 Hope everyone enjoyed their 4th. 89'd at ORD. Did make it to 90 at Midway. Here's an odd fact. Chicago has officially had highs in the 90s on the 4th a total of 27 times, but has never had a high of 92 degrees on that date. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian D Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 Storms last night were nothing special, but still picked up some needed rain (0.12" arpt, 0.21" in town). They came about an hour after the fireworks. Duluth saw 87 (tied 5th) on the 3rd with 92 (2nd) for the 4th. Another top 5 temp coming today before the dramatic cool down tomorrow with rain. Smoky this morning with CA fires sending smoke (could even smell it) on the NW wind. Air quality alert was issued for today. Pretty good now, tho.

cyclone77 Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 Hit 90 today here, MLI made 91. Last 1" rainfall here was way back on May 9th, almost 2 months ago now. Been a desperately boring past 5 months to say the least weatherwise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian D Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 Highs in the low 70's last night started decreasing to mid-upper 50's by midday with a soaking rain . Around a half inch so far. What a change from the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 Low at ORD today is a rather warm 77. Not a record though -- the low was 82 on this date in 2012. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
