Thru 129 years, the May daily heat records at the Farmington co-op range from a modest 84 to 100. Year 130 (2022) will move that lower number to 86 (on the 1st), as the 84 was set for May 13 - last Friday - and my 85 here likely means 86 or 87 at the co-op. You know ..I was also wondering about instrumentation. But I'm not a technology historian by any stretch - it's just that for example, earlier last Century the Death Valley record was set ( 2nd highest in the world), but recently that's come under some skepticism if not scrutiny due to that, and it was registered some 50 years later than the 1880's I do know from my half century's worth of existence that it's hard to get above 95 in May in general, and a-priori that's gonna date back many years before my feet hit earth - most likely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be very swimmable Saturday and Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might be August by the time I get to open the pool....going to be a long summer if that is the case, bet on a record hot one! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 The warmth and 3-4" of rain at the mountain over the past few days has really started to accelerate leaf out. The green line has made it to about 2,000ft elevation, and working its way up. Some of the cooler drainages (like the Hellbrook drainage on right side of the photo) are still waiting for anything green. Still stick season on the upper half of the mountains. Those areas should see soil temps warm quickly now that the snow has completely melted off except for the highest, sheltered pockets. Saturday's heat will do wonders to warm up the ground temps in those areas. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long install but very easy. Will see how it does Sat and Sunday. Definitely ordering another one or 2 if it's as good as I think it is. What's the story on the heat mode? I saw that but haven’t really investigated it. I can’t believe how quiet it is. I’m pretty happy about the $100 rebate coming too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kdxken Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 It's amazing how fast things green up. First video is from May 9th the other is from today. Trees were probably not 100 yards from each other. https://youtube.com/shorts/jtXYU2zRQX4?feature=share 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the most underrated season by far. I love spring, especially late spring. The sky seems bluer, the trees seem greener, especially against the stick season background. The long daylight tops it all off. Winter sunny days are fun but it's dark by 4:30pm. The clear, Chamber of Commerce weather this time of year is the stuff you dream of. Where even inches of rain get sucked up by the exploding vegetation pretty easily. Dry air and thirsty, awakening plant life... sucks the water up and turns neon green. Fed well. 41/37. All closed up, not letting the heat kick on, ha. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
