The weather

Mooseherder · August 23, 2012, 11:41:13 AM

Seems the normal pattern of afternoon thunderstorms is back with us this year in the southern region of Florida.
It has been a few years where we experienced several droughts so we are happy to see some normalcy. My pond is high but our canal which is controlled by SF Water Mgm. Dist. Is almost bone dry. The canal creates a super highway for alligators and my wife saw another enter our pond yesterday.
The canal bank is about 12 feet and almost 90 degrees incline so gators sure know how to climb.
I think this storm is gonna be nothing more than a wet day event.

There is no stopping it. Temps are still warm here.There has only been a couple times that if I was not working I would need something more on than a t shirt. But I can see fall in the plants and my garden.

Warbird · September 07, 2012, 10:41:21 AM

Yeah, I know. Still, I'm not ready for winter yet. It's 34 degrees at the house this morning and only supposed to get into the 50's today. *sigh* I know that in a couple of months, this will seem like t-shirt weather but bleh. I need another month of summer.

I went into town to sell some produce. Bank said it was 94. I only had a high of 82 here.Things will happen here pretty quick. Kinda felt muggy here today even.

Its typical Kansas here. After 100 degree temps, its suppose to drop to 49 tonight.

Autocar · September 08, 2012, 02:40:34 PM

It started rainning and storms later all night long last night. I walked down the drive this morning and it was 53 degrees and the rain gage said two and a half inches. I went up north to cruse some timber this morning and jumped a creek that was running water and when I came back it was to high to jump so I ended up walking around the woods to the road and crossed the bridge to get back to my truck on the side road. Air is cool and fresh fall is in the air for sure.

Warbird · September 08, 2012, 03:05:20 PM

28 degrees here this morning. Hard frost. Flowers are dead. That said, it is a beautiful sun shiny day today.

Kansas, did it actually drop as low as predicted for you guys last night?

OneWithWood · September 10, 2012, 12:56:14 PM

Things are definately happening on a different time table than before. The persimmons are falling and they are ripe and yummy! Usually not ripe until after the first frost!

SwampDonkey · September 10, 2012, 04:43:26 PM

Was 50 this morning, but never got above the mid 60's. Calling for sun and close to 70 the rest of week. In the 40's at night.

Mooseherder · September 10, 2012, 04:55:21 PM

That sounds like perfect weather SD!

SwampDonkey · September 10, 2012, 05:03:26 PM

Not too shabby for bush whack'n. ;D

thecfarm · September 10, 2012, 08:54:55 PM

We had temps in the high 70's around high noon than the temp started dropping. I was outside and felt it getting cold. When I checked around 2 it was down to 62. I probably will have to pull out a sweat tomorrow morning.

sandhills · September 10, 2012, 09:53:19 PM

Swamp Donkey, when my south 40 gets up there would you mind boxing it back up and sending it back to me? This wind is ridiculous and suppose to keep up for a few days :-\. Temps in the lower to mid 80s which is a lot nicer than last week in the 100s.

JohnM · September 16, 2012, 09:24:53 AM

Down to 41F last night and 61 in the house. Bright and sunny out but fired up the woodstove for the first time this season just to take the edge off in the house.

SwampDonkey · September 16, 2012, 03:41:19 PM

Was cool and windy today, but heading back up into the 70's tomorrow. House never got chilly. If I had a fire in here I would be melted. :D

sawguy21 · September 16, 2012, 04:01:35 PM

The seasons are completely out of whack here. We had one of the coldest, wettest Junes on record but very warm and dry since. Right now it is 22C here, about 76F, and supposed to be 25 later. Forestry is being kept very busy with fires.

End of last week was in the low 50's with frost a few nights, the weekend has been in the mid 70's both days with lows in the 40's. Now they are talking low 50's and upper 40's for this week with rain and maybe some snow as it cools off into the mid 30's at night....

Looks like fall is here, trying to get tons of projects done before winter but may have to put some on hold until spring to allow time to finish others up...

Today at high noon was the first day that if I was not working I would of wanted something heavy on. Wind was blowing,but this was kinda a cool wind.
Woodhauler,the only thing I like about snow is it keeps the population down. :D And sledding. ;D
