Tell me the "weather" where you live.

We have continued our strategy from last year, We refer to it as "Chaos" We try and put as much pressure on defenses as possible with the threats of bunts, hit and runs, safety squeezes, steals etc. SEC leader in steals and Sacrifices. (2 outs have no bearing on offensive play calling......so think twice about pulling those corners back with 2 outs) Has worked well again this year...just ask Ole Miss Pitching has been steady this year with a tweak on our Friday starter. Bullpen is strong. Should be a good weekend of baseball.

Roll Tide in the Final 4 !!!! Bring home another SEC Championship

Ed is getting old because Bama Basketball plays on Saturday evening, not Friday evening.

Currently @JETS70 's Kentucky Baseball Team is beating my Alabama Baseball Team in the Friday night game. But it ain't over yet.

PS - getting old is heck, isn't it @Teamubr?

No idea what you are talking about, Ed. <---- (that's me when I fell over trying to put my pants on)

The rain finally ended yesterday. We got another 2-21/2 inches and it wrapped up as sleet/ice then snow. That puts us at 20 inches of rain since the year started.

It was cooler than normal today. Hoping for a sunny Monday. We are in the 93% eclipse path.

 

[2goofycampers]

Frost this morning. I hope our veggie garden survives. We did cover it last night.

 

[2goofycampers]

My heart goes out to everyone that lost loved ones and/or their homes or businesses in the storms the last few days.
I am so glad we built a portable chicken coop in our house garage. We took them in about 5:30 PM last night. An hour or so later the storms hit. Our detached garage (part of which landed near/in the chicken pen) and a bunch of trees didn't survive. We went out for a minute, but the storms picked up again. The house seems to have escaped extreme damage. Neighbors say from their house windows we will need some shingle work done at minimum. We have a neighbor on each side we were all on the phone describing the others damage. We still have no idea where their trampoline is. Their wood playset is up against Grandpa's truck.

 

[bama_ed]

Denise, sorry to hear about your damage but glad it was limited to that. That same weather system moved southeast and missed us in Tuscaloosa but the northern half of Georgia is dealing with it now.

ED

PS - maybe your neighbor's trampoline hasn't come down out of the sky yet. It may crash land in Macon.

 

[2goofycampers]

Some damage pictures. Because it didn't happen if there's not pictures.

Ouch!

Haven't done one of these for awhile so here goes...

And the OTWWF



So the forecast is a chance of thunderstorms all week. We could really use the rain. We're in a drought and haven't had rain in awhile. Water level in the lake and all the ponds is way down.

 

[StormyCA]

Well, it's 94° and 23% humidity at 3pm PDT here in No Cal. Our hottest time of the day is 2 to 4 pm-ish.

We're currently under an NWS heat advisory until Wed night. They're saying 100, but it's usually hotter than that in our location.

 

[StormyCA]

Hey Y'all, are the terrible rainstorms we're hearing about on the news impacting WDW or the surrounding area?

So FLA looks like they're getting slammed!!

It's wet....
We need the rain to help with the drought. But no, not too bad here in central Florida.

I was wondering if it made it that far north. I have friends in Boca. They responded with a snorkel when I asked how it was going.

Well, the real heavy rain was south of us but we have had some storms. The flooding is in the places that always go under with heavy rains and hurricanes. This one has been going for the last two hours.....

 

[Teamubr]

Summer is here. It looks like Don and our friends at the Fort will be getting the summer rain. StL is back into the summer heat. I have to laugh when some of my southern friends say StL doesn't get hot because it is "north".

We refer to the next 3 months as "3 H". Hazy, hot and humid.

This is the next week's forecast. Thank goodness I'm going south to Chattanooga this week where it will be in the relatively cool low 90s.

@Teamubr
Jim, I used to say the same about Maryland. People from there ask how we can stand the Florida heat. First, we have this thing called air conditioning. We use it here mostly in the summer. Used to have it in Maryland too. Sure, it's hotter longer here but in the winter when it's freezing with that damp cold and wind up north, and that freezing white stuff-or worse the freezing clear stuff, I'm content to sit on my patio and enjoy the outside for 6 months.

 

[StormyCA]

"It's not the heat, it's the humidity", right? I can deal with temps in the 100s, but humidity over 50% has me calling for a chair, a fan, and a cool cloth. lol

We're going into a Fire Weather Watch later today. Expected high of only 86, but humidity dropping to 16% and sustained north winds up to 20 w/gusts to 35. We're rural surrounded by grass & oaks. I'll be having my Red Cross alert app turn to high volume for wildfires tonight.

Kinda makes me long for some of that FLA humidity.

Ya, Don. I know we have talked about it before. That's why I'm heading south in a few years. My boss came from Johns Hopkins in Baltimore. He was surprised at the extremes we get compared to Baltimore. They get freezing and snow and 80-90s in the summer, but he was shocked the first time we went below 0 the first time and he can't believe the 100s we get in the summers.

"It's not the heat, it's the humidity", right? I can deal with temps in the 100s, but humidity over 50% has me calling for a chair, a fan, and a cool cloth. lol

You got that right, Stormy.

I was in Phoenix visiting friends one summer. It was 108 and she suggested going to this street taco place. It only had outdoor seating. It was covered and they had misters and it was actually comfortable.

Unfortunately the humidity is as bad as Florida or the Gulf coast. Dew points in the 70s (or higher) that puts the humidity in the 60-80% range most days. Today won't be too bad. 93 with resaonable humidity (50% I think), but tomorrow the humidity joins the heat for the rest of the week.

 

[Stratman50th]

Funny thing about humidity here. This morning it was 78° and 93% humidity. As the day goes on and it gets hotter outside it seems to bake the humidity out. Here is the reading now:

@StormyCA , I used to spend my summers in Lake Havasu City, AZ. It was hot there. Very hot! 124° is hot no matter what. But yes, it was dry. I remember getting on a plane headed home. Hot and dry. I walked out of the airport in MD and it was as if someone covered me in a hot wet blanket.
Lastly, @Teamubr Jim, when you make the move, do what I did and throw a snow shovel in to hang in the garage. It always reminds me why I moved. Plus, it gives my neighbors something to scratch their heads over.

That's great. Better yet, I'll pull the snow blower out every October and put it away in April, like I do now.
