Yeah, this is crazy. This will be the latest I've ever gotten my garden planted.
It's again been raining hard since yesterday afternoon. I got half the front lawn mowed yesterday afternoon when the monsoon started again. I may have to finish it with the bush hog, as it is now more than 10 inches high. It's way to wet to get near the garden, plus we to are threatened with frost Monday and Tuesday nights. Water is again flowing out the emergency overflow of the lower pond. That usually only happens about once a year. It's now happened twice in a week.

Pretty cold out right now. Things should be pretty crispy in the morning with frost.
I have all my windows open with gusts of air blowing thru and electric heaters going. About the best fresh air you can get right now coming off of Lake Michigan. It get's much better in the boonies!

It has been 5 years since I didn't have a late freeze nuke my fruit. Not supposed to get as cold near the lakes, but expecting 28F tonight. So VERY irritating. If the air is still though, for the most part 28F isn't enough to do them in. If we have wind though, it will knock the petals off, the bees then wont do their "thing".

We finally have a string of mid 60's nights coming, with the highs close to 90. I can't remember a back and forth spring like this for years.
I do know that if we miss our late May/early June rains, my big puddle may be hosed for the year.

I turned on the sprinklers in the orchard last night. It might have worked, as there was no ice on the trees even at the coldest part of the morning, right before sunup. Calling for 84°F on Wed.

Yeah, I parked my truck by the window to keep the frost from the windshield because the switch on the defrost blower went out last week  Actually, just for the fresh air. Living here, if you close it up, gets nasty. You could ice skate on the frost this morning.

We narrowly avoided a freeze last night. Right at 31.5 degrees which is not enough to do any real damage. *phew!*

My weather station showed 96F-97F for several hours today. Switched from heat to AC around 4PM, house and Office building. Sometimes we have a month between the switch.

http://journalstar.com/news/local/lincol...8a47d96754.htmlTwo days after Lincoln recorded a record low temperature and less than two weeks after the city saw significant snow, thermometers soared Tuesday.
Lincoln Airport posted a 100-degree reading at 2:33 p.m., crushing the date's record high of 96 set in 1915.
It's the earliest Lincoln has ever reached 100 degrees. The previous earliest 100-degree temperature in Lincoln came on May 24, 1967.
Records fell across the region. Omaha hit 101. Grand Island hit 102. Norfolk went to 103.
Farther north, Sioux City, Iowa, reached a May record of 106.
Tekamah, between Sioux City and Omaha, hit 107.
Watching temperatures soar throughout the day was very interesting, said Barbara Mayes of the National Weather Service in Omaha. Over six hours, Norfolk's temperature shot from 58 to 102.
Temperatures were able to rise so quickly because dry air was prevalent in both the warm southwest air mass that swept into the region and the cold Canadian air mass it replaced. Dry air, Mayes said, allows temperatures to rise more quickly.
Lincoln's humidity of 14 percent, combined with an air temperature of 99, meant the heat index -- what it feels like -- was only 95 degrees.
According to Accuweather, a huge temperature swing within such a short time frame is quite rare for the mid-May. Such a change is more likely to happen in March or early April.
Temperatures will return to near normal Wednesday. Later in the week, showers and thunderstorms will become more likely.

We picked up a welcome 1.70 inches of rain, starting yesterday about 1PM. Thunder-stormed off an on most of the afternoon, then sprinkled, became moderate, then sprinkled again. It's a cool 65 degrees down here with overcast conditions.

I agree with Dwight on two seasons, but for me it is eight months of winter and four months of tough sledding.
Good morning Dave, I've checked the ships systems, and everything appears to be running normally.

6. Summer Preview Day Ours is more simple 1. Winter. 2. Summer. While weather is the definitive factor to the seasons, I like to incorporate our local flora and fauna: Annoying black gnat season. Biting fly season. Chigger and tick season. Poison Ivy season. Stinging nettle season. Ticked off hornet season.
"Forget pounds and ounces, I'm figuring displacement!"
If we accept that: MBG(+)FGSF(=)HBG(F1)
And we surmise that: BG(>)HBG(F1) while GSF(<)HBG(F1)
Would it hold true that: HBG(F1)(+)AM500(x)q.d.(=)1.5lbGRWT?
PB answer: It depends.

YJ, I was thinking the same thing. It was an EF 4, 160-200 mph winds.

6 dead and 6 still unaccounted for.
It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

May God take unto his fold those who perished. May God also give closure to the families of those unaccounted for, and may he ease the suffering and hardship of all those affected by natures wrath.
