  • I keep running behind and have another 2 day (weekend) update to post today. We continue to change our weather depending on the position of this wandering stationary front that doesn’t look to move on out anytime […]

  • Friday was partly to mostly sunny, similar in temps to Thursday, and dry. The Friday maximum temperature reached 80.3° @ 1617, while the Friday minimum temperature was 58.3° @ 0646. The dew point temperatures l […]

    Thanks for your suggestion Mark. I am pretty sure I tried to do that but will revisit it again when I get the time. Been paddling upstream with only one paddle so it seems the past few weeks. Various health issues plus my family visiting last week put me behind, lovingly so of course. Thanks to Nathan for your support also.

  • Thanks for posting your April report Jeff. I like the cover photo – looks like virga but I guess the shafts did reach the ground. Sugarloaf Mt in Maine just closed out their ski season this past Sunday, sounded like a “rock ski adventure” with rather patchy cover over their trails. I am sure it isn’t that way at Timberline. Are you all going to be…[Read more]

  • Thanks Cathie. Indeed, it is a side view of my apartment building, and I was trying to show the leaf bud action a few days ago. Leaves are fully bud out now (most varieties that is) and the grass is a lush green that is growing fast! Going out to my rain gauge I have to get through a rapidly growing crop of dandelions, and thick tall grass in a…[Read more]

  • Thursday was clear/sunny early, but by mid-afternoon clouds developed ahead of a line of showers/storms heading SE from the midwest that fell in the early evening (0.02″) in a light thundershower about 1900. The […]

  • I have been catching up on a lot of projects since Robin and Gideon left Sunday afternoon and have not posted any weather updates since then. I will catch up in the next few days. I have been cleaning up and also […]

    • That’s a very pretty picture, Kevin. Is that in your appt complex?

    • Thanks Cathie. Indeed, it is a side view of my apartment building, and I was trying to show the leaf bud action a few days ago. Leaves are fully bud out now (most varieties that is) and the grass is a lush green that is growing fast! Going out to my rain gauge I have to get through a rapidly growing crop of dandelions, and thick tall grass in a common area that has not been cut for the first time this spring as yet. Thanks for your comment, they are very few and far between unfortunately as our blog here has been rather inactive, with no new members and some like Josh and John Markle up in Alaska not posting at all in recent weeks. I do see Josh’s cocorahs reports he makes every day, however. Have a nice day! Kevin

    • It is beautiful! I haven’t seen Josh post lately as well. Hope he’s OK. have you heard from Leon yet? I wonder how he’s doing.

  • In my latest post just published a few mins ago, I show two images, one is my featured image of Robin and Gideon, and the other was of yours truly and Gideon in a fun pose and imported in as media. In the final version on the main website, the image is always turned to the side and I can’t get it to flip to vertical. In my work copy it is correct.…[Read more]

    • There should be a way to fix that in the blog editor. I forgot where, but I found it once. @markingalls Do you know where it’s at?

      • I have not seen this particular issue, but I do know that when you go into your media and click on an image, it will give you an option to edit and in there is an option to rotate an image. I don’t know if this will resolve your issue, though.

        • That’s what I was thinking too. Thanks for chiming in on this, @markingalls! @kevinshaw, did that fix it?

        • Thanks for your suggestion Mark. I am pretty sure I tried to do that but will revisit it again when I get the time.

  • I was busy with my daughter Robin and my grandson wrapping up their visit here over most of the weekend, as they left here around 1600 on Sunday to fly back to Las Vegas, which they got safely back to by very […]

  • Friday was still hot, cracking the 90° mark for the second day in a row under partly sunny, mostly dry skies except for a light shower (0.01″) in the early evening . The Friday maximum temperature reached 89.6° @ […]

  • Thursday was even hotter, as I cracked the 90° mark for the first time this year under sunny, dry skies. The Thursday maximum temperature reached 90.5° @ 1537 while the Thursday minimum temperature was only 6 […]

  • Wednesday was a much warmer day, actually hot, but at least with low enough dew points to not make it too oppressive (yet), with full sun and high temperatures in the upper 80s. The Wednesday maximum temperature […]

  • Tuesday was a warmer day, with full sun and temps approaching the 80° mark. The Tuesday maximum temperature warmed up to 79.6 @ 1558 while the Tuesday minimum temperature was 46.4 @ 0644. The dew point […]

  • I had a variety of curve balls thrown at me on Sunday and went to bed very early for me so I did not send a report out for Sunday till this combined Sunday/Monday effort right now. Sorry about that. […]

  • Saturday started out cloudy, with dense fog moving in around 0700 and not burning off till around 0915 along with low temps in the upper 40s to low 50s. Visibility was down to less than 0.1 mile, as I could barely […]

  • Friday was mostly cloudy with some occasional brief sunny breaks later in the AM and PM but early AM rain (0.60″) fell entirely (as best I could determine) between about 0300 and 0630. Temps remained cool, with […]

  • Thursday turned sunny in a one day break between rain systems on Wednesday and now early on Friday. We had seasonable temperatures in the mid upper 60s and lows in the mid 40s with light winds, but with increasing […]

  • Wednesday was cloudy with occasional rain (0.22″) AM fog, heavy briefly around 1030, and mild temps in the 50s to low 60s once again. The Wednesday maximum temperature was 62.6 @ 1530 while the Wednesday minimum […]

  • Tuesday was cloudy with occasional rain (0.31″) and mild temps in the 50s to low 60s. The Tuesday maximum temperature was 61.7 @ 1314 while the Tuesday minimum temperature was 52.5 @ 0614. The dew point […]

  • March 2018 turned the tables on our really warm February, so much so that I actually averaged colder in March by about 3° than February. While we were drier in March, because of the colder temps we got more snow […]
