National weather service doppler radar continued to indicate a line of severe thunderstorms capable of producing damaging winds in excess of 60 mph. These storms were located along a line extending from jimmy's front yard to his back yard... Moving east at 15 mph.

It was too hot to pull garlic today, but it had to be done. The humidity has been brutal. The first round of T-storms missed us, but it looks like we might get another one tonight.

And last night missed rain again by a storm cell less than a miles from here. :mad:

We need more rain!

Fall is going to be really disappointing this year, the trees have almost no leaves left!

How are your temps? You always seem to be hotter in summer and colder in winter.

I think on the average your and my temps are about the same. The biggest problem here is not even getting the 0.1 inch rains.

We are heading for the hottest day in the year. It's already 28ºC (82.4F) at 11am right here. The all time record measured in the Netherlands is 38,6ºC (101.5F) at Warnsveld, 23 Augustus 1944. I don't think we'll get there, but who knows.

It's not hot, but at ~60 deg F it's pretty warm for this time of year. We have heavy rains and T-storms tonight and have had power interrupted over and over again. The interruptions have not been confined to back roads, because when that happens, you have to call the power company, and they dispatch (eventually) a crew to check the safeties. If they find no wires down or grounded on trees, they eventually backtrack and start closing those safeties. These outages are probably due to hits on major transmission lines and transformers.

It's about the same here turbo; 62ºF. Tomorrow is forecast to be about 80ºF. But but by Thursday, I'll probably be posting in the "Baby it's cold outside" thread.

I'm in Toronto. It's 7oC outside and the angels are relieving themselves on us.
