  1. Temp dropped to 63 this morning as I get a little break from the humidity. Perfect morning to get outside and get some work done. For the first time this spring the farm could use a drink of water. hope this weekend can provide an inch or so.

  2. Was in Yellowstone 6 years ago today. First pic is old faithful erupting in the middle of a snow squall, could barely see it. Second is somewhere in Yellowstone on the same day. One of the high passes was closed due to snowfall at the time. Last picture is from the top of Jackson Hole Resort, 32 degrees and socked in fog and flurries. They were on the backside of a good snow year and some guys were still skiing the back-country, using the tram to get to the top. I remember the tram operator mentioning that the chutes they were skiing required 10'+ drop ins some years but not that year with the deep snowpack.

  3. Pretty amazing how the heat threat has evaporated in recent runs...although wouldn’t surprise me too much to see trend the other way in the coming days. Still looks like some very nice early summer weather on tap. Highs mostly in the 70s the next seven days, with some 80s thrown in too.

  5. At this time, it is clear and an mild 74 here at my house. With a mean of 67.0 this June is now at +0.6 but that will go up over the next week or so. So far it has been sunny here in west Michigan a local met reported that so far Grand Rapids has had 88% of possible sunshine so far this June and the record for any June here is either 85 or 82% (I have seen both numbers but not sure what one is correct) but the year was 1963. So there is a chance of this year being the sunniest June here at Grand Rapids.

  6. Boy, is this a sight for sore eyes, esp the fact that the GFS/GEFS have been leading the way with the pattern for this week. Big score for the American's! #'Merica Through the end of the month, the EPS is finally showing AN precip anomolies and agreeing with the American models (GEFS/CFSv2). The beautiful evolution about this pattern is, it's right smack dab in the middle of where it has been turning very dry. Not only that, but its during the pollination process which is key to the crop growth. I love it when nature can time things out so I'm hoping this comes into fruition.

  7. I, for one, don’t have that many complaints about the damp weather. The later the onset of summer conditions (which will still come), the less time there is for things to get tinder-dry, and the lower the odds are that August or September will turn into a smoke-filled apocalypse. Those latter conditions are the real bummer summer in my book.

  8. The heat misers are only happy when it’s above average. Average or below average = miserable.

  11. Hoping we score some nice rain and storms tomorrow through the weekend to put a nice dent in this recent hot and dry spell. Today marked the 15th day out of 17 days in June that Omaha has hit at least 90 degrees. To put this recent heat in perspective, in an average year Omaha sees 28, 90 degree days - we are more than halfway to that mark before the Summer Solstice. Statistically this ranked this year as the 2nd hottest first half start to the month of June in recorded history in Omaha... yuck!

  18. Feels like a hot oven when you step outside. 94 degrees with a south wind gusting to 35 mph. Grass is looking stressed, even yards with sprinkler systems. Hard to tell with corn and soybeans as they are both still pretty short.

  19. I was actually watching an episode of Bizzare Foods once with Andrew Zimmern and he brought some meat to cook with him when he got into a Finnish sauna. He said it had a nice smoked taste afterwards!

  20. Sunriver can get absolutely destroyed. I've been there when the depth was at least 4'. I've been there at least 10 times during the winter there and there was always a decent amount. That was also the location of the lowest temp I've ever experienced (-17). I wouldn't be surprised if their all time greatest depth was over 8 or 9 feet, but I doubt there's anyway to look that up.

  25. July 2007 was absolutely insane out here. Average high in Bozeman was 92.4F. Normal average high is 81.5F for the month of July. Blows away any other month by a long shot. Developing Nina's do tend to favor a hot Intermountain West but that has yet to develop thankfully. Looks like we'll go through June without hitting 90 this year so far in Bozeman and just 83 degrees is my high mark thus far.

  27. Another day above 90, many of those so far in June 2020. The good news, starting tomorrow the forecast says no more 90’s for the next 10 days. Good chance of thunderstorms Friday night.

  34. Oh yes. It is an amazing swimming hole, and beyond what you expect in terms of natural beauty. Very crowded in the summer though. I have gone in the off season though and it is not bad. The Little NF Santiam is where everyone in Salem goes to cool off in the summer.

  35. I've pulled my raft out at Fisherman's Bend campground a few times. Nice area. I've always wanted to pay a visit to the 3 pools park, but I've heard it's a bit of a zoo there.

  37. The heat is coming this week, but no records are expected to be broken! So far Detroit has averaged out 2X being in the 90s. By the time this heatwave is done, we will have been 6X in the 90s. Average is 12X. Last year we hit the 90s 10X. Could this be a dry, hot Summer for the Detroit Metro Area?! Who knows, we will see.

  39. Probly one of the reasons the Finnish people continue to be so successful despite being in Europe way earlier is because when the Indo-European peoples came north in their chariots and on their horses just mowing everyone down, they were cold and their horses were freezing to death. Horses were very spiritual and understandably felt like a person to the ancient Indo-Europeans, knowing it was the reason they were conquering everything at the time. The Indo-Europeans were fascinated and relieved with the technological advancements the Uralic peoples had already innovated themselves, reindeer herding, saunas to keep warm, etc. They provided fish, warmth and kindness in harsh conditions to the people and their horses, who would have otherwise wiped them out and most of the the Y-chromosome N haplogoup.

  40. It was in July when it was very hot and dry at home in Iowa. The first time I was there as a kid when our whole family still was living together and we went on a big month long western trip on the way to my fathers reunion in Oregon. Drove back through the southern states. The second time was a similar trip with three of my friends. Yellowstone was great and both times it was hot and dry at home, so went at the right time to escape the heat and boring weather!

  41. I have always thought the should extend the park out to Shellburg Falls. Develop that area a bit more and spread the crowds out some more. Shellburg Falls is actually very close to the parks SE boundary and in the summer is a fairly short drive on access roads from the 214 Trailhead junction road.

  43. Another good soaker of a day with 0.46" of rainfall on the day here so far. Great to see after such a dry start to the month. Everything has turned incredibly lush with new growth sprouting everywhere now with this latest wet period. Winter Storm Warnings posted for here above 5,500' with up to 12" of snowfall expected tonight/tomorrow. Looks like my roof will be just below the snow line thankfully. With that said, it's going to be an extremely wet a raw day with 1-1.5" of precip and highs struggling to reach the mid 40's.

  46. They are also required to repaint the stations white every few years, as that reflects sunlight. When the paint wears out, the station gets darker and absorbs more sunlight, contaminating the readings. Several years ago, I read that, after they painted a station white, the temps "cooled" by a few degrees right after (they compare stations in the area, and know what temps should be relative to each other). Since the other stations had not been painted, you would think the station that had just been painted was now more accurate, and the stations not painted were probably running a few degrees too warm (mainly day time). So they adjusted. Odd thing was that they adjusted the freshly painted, more accurate station upward, so that it matched the less accurate stations where the paint had worn off. Should have adjusted the stations that had not been painted down a couple of degrees, since they knew that the freshly painted one was more accurate. With all the land use changes and relocations, and things like I mentioned above, it is really hard to find trends and averages with all the noise. And things like these don't help either.
