sassenach Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 had intermittent rain yesterday, quite nice, distant thunder , to our south, today is finally a lot cooler than the weekend i think was.... mucho bettah. 3 cousins and 1 cousin's hubby all in Hesperia, Blue Cut Fire situation, not a good place to be. Not sure how it will go now... bad bad fast moving fire. Quote Link to comment
Momo Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Finally below 90 degrees for a few days. Hopefully the cool front coming in brings some needed rain! Quote Link to comment
sassenach Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 (edited) Yep, cooler here and the storms broke up good now, took a couple days but we did get some good rain which we all needed in the East too. Very sorry for the flooding affects in the South. What a big mess that is. At least inside it's more comfortable and maybe I can get out and get some sunshine soon, today. But cloud cover may still be around, yes, its a bit dim again. Sigh. At least its not super hot and humid. Oh well. Good enough to bust out some necessary chores. A relief to get done, to tell the truth. Edited August 19, 2016 by sassenach Quote Link to comment
Jeepers Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 It got up to 81 here today but felt a lot hotter. Must be the humidity. It looks like storms are going to be rolling in this evening. Quote Link to comment
Annarchy Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 ONLY 105 today. Nice and cool. Lol Quote Link to comment
Mt_Rider Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Brrrr.... since our 'monsoon' rainy season finally arrived, the rainy days like this have been soooo cold. Weeds and grasses are going to seed. Feels more like fall weather. and the propane guy came today.....WHAT? DOES EVERYONE THINK THIS IS WINTER? Our only propane appliance is the furnace! According to the calendar, August.... beaches....sunshine.....sweltering days...... MtRider .....but of course I don't LIKE sweltering days but .....I don't like winter either. Quote Link to comment
sassenach Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 88F sunny day. Nights are starting to get cooler. Quote Link to comment
Jeepers Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 It's 84 here today. We had a few days in the past week that were in the mid to high 70's. It didn't feel like it though because it was humid. Quote Link to comment
Mt_Rider Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 We've been around 40 degrees all day. HAD to turn on the furnace. Pellet stove would make living room too hot too quickly. But have needed to take the chill/damp off allllll day! I checked the calendar AGAIN....yep! It's still August. MtRider ......I really hate to start paying WINTER BILLS in August.

Jeepers Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Glad I mowed yesterday because it hit 90 today. I'm just chillaxin' today with no where to go all day to get there. Quote Link to comment
Jeepers Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 It got up to 90 again today. I went to get meds refilled and it felt like an oven out there. I think I hear thunder now. Either that or fireworks in downtown Cleveland. They both sound the same when they low rumble. Quote Link to comment
The WE2's Posted August 28, 2016 Author Share Posted August 28, 2016 Hot and humid today. Quote Link to comment
Jeepers Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 It was thunder. It is raining now so it will probably be muggy tomorrow. Quote Link to comment
The WE2's Posted August 29, 2016 Author Share Posted August 29, 2016 Hot and humid today...and about 10 drops of rain while we were finishing mowing at the Homestead. Quote Link to comment
Annarchy Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Cooling off here, averaging around 100. Quote Link to comment
The WE2's Posted August 31, 2016 Author Share Posted August 31, 2016 Another hot and humid day here. About 5:00 or so we got a loud clap of thunder...no rain though. Guess it bypassed us...again. May have to use some rain catchment water if we don't see some rain soon. Don't like to use the city water if we don't need to. Quote Link to comment
The WE2's Posted August 31, 2016 Author Share Posted August 31, 2016 Mosquitos are bad this year as well as horse flies. Guess we'll have to pull out the power washer and give the Homestead's covered front porch a good washing down. Those things love to hang around under porches...and carports too...ugh! Mixed up some liquid Dawn and vegetable oil with a few drops of peppermint essential oil, and took it to the Roost and sprayed around the back door where wasp like to hang out. I'll mix up some more for here and some for the Homestead also. Quote Link to comment
Jeepers Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 74 degrees here today and lots of rain. Quote Link to comment
The WE2's Posted September 3, 2016 Author Share Posted September 3, 2016 About 80, sunny and breezy. Not bad a'tall! Quote Link to comment
The WE2's Posted September 5, 2016 Author Share Posted September 5, 2016 Another very warm and sunny day :-) Quote Link to comment
Jeepers Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 It's in the mid 60's here today. Supposed to get to 90 on Wednesday though. Hope the area around Ipswich, MASS. gets rained on from the big storm. No damage please, just rain. They said last week that the city only has about 3 weeks of water left. Quote Link to comment
Mt_Rider Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 Wow...Hermine might be just what they need......if it doesn't get too close and strong. Just the rain to fill up reservoirs! MtRider ...into Fall weather now but no frost ....yet. Quote Link to comment
Annarchy Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Hurricane Newton is coming up the Baja heading north east. Winds are picking up. Temps here are coming down, 100-105 highs, 80-65 lows. Quote Link to comment
Mt_Rider Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Thanks for the tip on Newton, Annarchy. Tomorrow, DH, my dad, and I have to do a vehicle juggle. I end up going into town [DH driving] and ME driving back out to our place on the back roads right about noon. The danger is that my vehicle does not have a working air-conditioner and I'm running ZERO tolerance for heat. If Newton is already sending moisture/CLOUDS up our way, it will be doing even more so tomorrow. In summer, clouds are my FRIENDS! DH had his truck's coolant system break down on the way to work on Sat. We had to do a similar switch that night to get him home. In actuality, he's the only fully capable driver among the 4 of us. [us and my folks] My dad can't drive after dark. I can't drive highway speeds and require coooool temperatures. My mom drives very little. This makes things complicated when our vehicle broke down on my folks' end of the route. Our mechanic is out here. MtRider ....glad most of summer weather is gone. Not glad winter cometh...
