Been in the 40's UP here every night for about the last two weeks now with only a day or two getting into the low 70's for highs every other day has been 50's and 60's for highs. Feels much more like early to mid fall than it does summer with the cool temps and near constant rain. So wet that even the sandy ground logging jobs I've marked and sold aren't being cut as its just too wet and the "wet" soils that are usually dry all summer and into the fall are so wet you need a boat to navigate the woods. Strange year that's for sure.

It was 54 here this morning, but to the north I think it got into the 30's. But it did get to 74 here today.

Got to love rain in the first week of August, even if it means flash floods, david

Maybe i'm crazy but something seems out of wack! :-\

We had 1.1 mm of rain in July, one of the driest on record, and it's going to stay sunny and very warm for at least the next two weeks. Crops are threatened and forestry crews are being kept very busy.
Smoke is becoming a problem. We were in central Oregon last week and had planned to return via Yakima and Wenatchee but the air quality was so bad we took the most direct route through Portland. DanG I hate driving through that city. :'(

Yesterday's high was 84. First real break since May. Back to the 90's and 100's again. 8) 8) 8)

chevytaHOE5674 · August 07, 2013, 10:27:30 AM

48° and 1.1" of rain last night. Looks like its heading for a high of 60° today which would be great if it was October.....

The way it is going, it could be one nasty, cold winter coming. :-\ Must be global warming..er...climate change... er.....the coming ice age, etc. Whatever is coming, I'm sure it is America's fault. ;D 8) 8) 8)

Magicman · August 07, 2013, 05:40:02 PM

There is stuff that I could/should have done today, but it did not get done.

SwampDonkey · August 07, 2013, 10:23:29 PM

It was 78 here today. I've noticed most of the flies have died off. See mainly blow flies now and a few black flies, not many.

thecfarm · August 09, 2013, 08:42:48 AM

At 5:30 this morning it was dry here. Started to rain a little at 6 than ALOT at 7. I got caught out in the ALOT part. :

Came in and got dried up and just about stopped. Now it's ALOT again. Someone told me we might get 2 inches of rain. Yep,I beleive it now.

SwampDonkey · August 09, 2013, 10:11:30 AM

Right now you couldn't get any wetter under a waterfalls. :

mesquite buckeye · August 09, 2013, 11:14:49 AM

Sunny, dry and 100. 8) 8) 8)

Started out sunny this morning. That did not last long. About noon it started to rain. I live on a hill and the land kinda levels out. There has been standing water there all summer. I am working on another place that I want to mow. want to see into the field as I come up the road. Bunches of rocks need to be hauled off and bunches of trees need to be cut to make this work. I was thinking about cutting the tres and making a woods road through the woods and limb them out there. I walked through the woods to find a good way to go. I found a good way to go,but also found mud too. Guess I will wait for it to dry up,if it does. Might freeze up first. I think only a few times we had 3 days in a row with no rain this summer.

SwampDonkey · August 13, 2013, 03:44:31 PM

It was sunny in the woods all day here, but the clouds were building up. It began to rain at 4:00 pm here.

thecfarm · August 13, 2013, 04:58:22 PM

Looks like the rain is done???? For now???? Sun is trying to come out.

chevytaHOE5674 · August 13, 2013, 05:19:54 PM

Got up to a balmy 62° here today after a cool start at 36°. At least we haven't had rain since last Friday.

SwampDonkey · August 13, 2013, 05:22:07 PM

Sure hope it ends by morning here, got 8/10" in 2-1/2 hrs.

Was 54 this morning and 75 for a high again.

Magicman · August 13, 2013, 09:04:35 PM

No complaints from me about the much needed rain, but it has shut my sawing down for three afternoons. Not being able to work a full day drives up traveling (gas) expenses.
