The quote below is off of another site (gaming) I go to.
QuoteQUOTE
It usually gets all the way up into the mid 30s%.
Heh, we whine here when the humidity gets up over 40%. End of original quote.
You poor babies....
I've seen Dew point hit at 72 -74 F. Now we are talking HUMIDITY!! I've seen Rh at 99 plus % on a clear day.
As for the rain, it has not stopped here yet. It comes several times per day. Each time it is a downpour.
The dogs created a path down to the soil in my backyard. These became a channel for the water. Due to the "mini" fast moving flooding my years of building up the soil are now gone. I use to have several inches of good top soil I created by composting. Now I have a huge area of nothing be white sugar sand. The water has been running so fast (my back yard slopes downward) it has under minded my grass and it just floated away.
This year is unlike any year I can remember. I asked mother if it ever rain like it has lately when I was a boy. She said no. At times the air (no joke) feels funny to Susan and myself. We live at the tail end of this peninsula and normally the clouds move quickly. As of late there are times when nothing is moving.
Strange... damn strange indeed. Wow as I'm writing this out our 3rd rain for the day just started and it is coming down in buckets.
As I said...."Strange... damn strange indeed."
Michigan hasnt had 3 days of rain all summer I dont think. My horse pastures are ike a desert, not to mention my grass is all dead!
It's been hot here in Ontario as well. Sounds like they're just barely holding off the Grasshopper invasion in the Prairies.
Where are you Olds that the weather is so rainy?

What is so nuts-o is after a rain the sun comes out for an hour or so, then we get another rain. This has been going on for days. Also the rains have been coming in from the Gulf (West) which is very strange. Normally our afternoon thunder showers come from the East.
Rain here as well Olds. You forgot to mention that when the sun comes out between storms that you can actually see the steam rising.
Don't mean to rub it in....but....for once our Pacific Northwest is sunny and hotter than your Southeast. Actually, I do mean to rub it in.... ;D :P
England has been much the same, i can't ever remember such a wet summer :'(
I haven't cut my grass since the 4th of july. When I water the plants, I can actually hear the grass go "Ahhhhhhhh!"
Well, come December, I'll be wishing I was down your way.
I've been coming down there since I was a kid with my parents. St Pete's Beach was always where we went. Now my wife and I have driven down a couple of times and as soon as my son is travel worthy, we'll probably start doing March Breaks down there again. I still get excited every time I see the Don Cesar for the first time in a couple of years. It brings back all sorts of great memories.
As I was saying to Wildcat on Tuesday's Chat, I love to be down there for Grapefruit League Baseball. March Break wouldnt' be the same without a trip to Dunedin to see the Toronto Blue Jays.
My parents will be down there for November and then January through March. They're big into the Lawn Bowling these days so they like the idea of playing all winter as well.
Anyways, not a lot about Smoking or the weather, but I just wanted to say that you've got a great city there.
Carter
God, I wish it would rain here!!!
Carter, the next time you come here E-mail me... Lunch or dinner is on me.
Olds
Sounds great Olds. I'll let you know when we're coming down.

Olds & Wildcat, send some rain up north to Maryland. We are in another bad drought since 2002. this year was bad enough I had my well pump dropped another 30 feet on Monday. We were drawing air at 110 feet. The well is 380 feet down but the pump was at 110 feet, now its down to 140 feet. When we had the house built 10 years ago is was 30 under the water table back then.
We have not seen rain in a long time. What we get just adds surface level benfit. We had one cut in late June, another mid July to take care of the edges looking scraggely. (and help the lawn guy pay bills) next cut late August maybe. Most of the grass is brown and mostly dead.
Most of the rain has left my area. Temps climbed into the upper 90's and with the humidity level, the heat index was 108F yesterday. All of this with no breeze.
Sounds like time to take a vacation Wildcat. Weather has been pretty darn good here. :)
Would love to Giz, but wife is a teacher and she goes back to work Monday and I have surgery scheduled for Thursday.

Good luck on the surgery. Give the wife a hug for me and Ann for being a teacher. The world is certainly a better place because of teachers. They just never seem to get the credit they deserve for all the hard work the put in. ;)
Thanks and will do Ice.
Good luck on the surgery Wildcat. Extra prayers for ya and the docs ;).

Ya what he said~~!
Thanks guys. Surgery went fine yesterday. On crutches today. Took delivery of a new truck suitable to pull my fifth wheel day before yesterday. She is a beautiful. Wife has more competition now. ::) May have to hide the keys. ;D
Glad to hear you're up and around Cat.
Carter
Can't keep a good cat down...glad to hear surgery went well.
Them ole cats always land back on their feet. :D :D :D Glad to see it went okay.
Just don't go and over do it for awhile. ;)
Thanks folks.
Glad your surgery went well.
Good to see you back cat. I hope the surgery reults are a success.
Nice to hear from you Cat.
I agree with Ice,
Take it easy for a while before you go getting Wild again. Just be a cool 8) cat for a while.
Thanks all. That's what the Doc said as well. Not allowed to put ANY weight on it yet. Follow-up on Monday afternoon. With school back in, the wife will be working and Jr will be gone as well. Kinda hard to load/unload and monitor the old BS with only one leg. :'(

I like that term "redneck wheelchair". ;D
Every year I go to a festival, and we have to lug our coolers a long ways. I always wished that I had one of these.
Hope they come out with a 4 wheel drive version soon for my neck of the woods. :D
With snow chains, studs, snow shoes or mukluks?
Been raining for 2 days here in nepas area :o
Our hills are still in the clouds.
