As with most folks my age it seems after retirement years time seems to go quite a bit faster than when they did when I was yearning for my drivers license and high school graduation – I am sure it is just a matter of perception as each day still has 24 hours. Granted I […]
Welcome to August We are now entering the last month of meteorological summer when the days start to rapidly get shorter. The latest update from the CPC gives us 37% chance of below normal temps and 38% chance of below normal precipitation. This could mean we will have some ridge blocking going on bringing cooler […]
Closing out the second month of meteorological summer we will enjoy a sunny comfortable day for being outside to enjoy any activities we wish. While I have been catching up on tasks outside since retirement my neighbor has been building a huge barn this summer. He is a private contractor who builds houses, barns and […]
Still a bit humid this morning with some fog around. Temp is currently 66° at 7am. We had .44 of an inch of rain yesterday half of it coming from a pulse storm which popped up. There is a small chance of a shower or storm today mainly west of 131, however the air will […]

On Thursday, Paris set its all-time temperature high, reaching 108.6 degrees Fahrenheit. […]
In an earlier post I spoke about the possibility of a cool down coming the last week of July into August which is now shown in the latest CPC guesses which will take away the chances of 90° days. Our temps will still be in the 78 to 80° range – normal is around 80° […]
Not much to say today as there isn’t much going on weather wise. July is certainly making up for our cool and rainy June. An area of high pressure is drifting to our south and over Ontario which has effectively blocked formation of any clouds or allowing the humidity to rise to unbearable levels. This […]
Not much to say about the weather today as it will be much the same as yesterday. We will see gradual increase in temps and humidity through the week. Our next chance of rain comes late in the weekend. We have a 43% chance of above normal temps over the next two weeks and equal […]
