What's the weather like in your neck of the woods?

[Knotorious]

It's the same sh!t every day. Hot, hotter. and hottest...day in and day out. Dreading the sudden influx of humidity.

3 Days Later: The forecast looks and feels exactly like @CurSedVoyce's post above.

After 336 pages, have we determined what a "neck" of woods is?

 

[lxskllr]

That is a curious bit of phrasing. I think this should be the official Treehouse definition. It's a good match...

"The origins of this idiom are unclear, but it has been in use for many years. It is believed that the term may have originated from logging camps in North America, where workers would clear areas of forest and create small communities in remote locations."

Could be nonsense though. There's other given possibilities, and the couple sites I looked at were basically ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Up side is 14 calls before noon all estimates ran and 3 of those 14 are done, nine to hit tomorrow sun up sun down kinda thing. The area got hammered pretty good.

Small tornado, or something 1/2 mile up the road last night. Easily 100 trees down in a 1/4 mile visible from the road. Power only off for an hour. Been hot and sticky. Thundering hard right now. Might get a little relief from the heat after.

Turned my ac on for the first time today. I wanted to hold off til July, but I was doing dishes, and sweating cause my hands were in hot water. It was 81° at the thermostat, and I set the ac to 80°. Amazing the difference 1° can make, especially with the added dryness.

I shall neither confirm nor deny the legitimacy of this meme.

The summer turned on after weeks of bad weather, as suddenly as the others changes lately. No progressiveness at all.
Today, I unloaded about 3 yards of chips from my van. It was there since wednesday because I was too late for the chip yard. In less than 3 days, the biological activity went full gear. It was like emptying an oven..

 

[lxskllr]

I bet that does get hot. Probably more like emptying a sauna. I bet it was humid as shit too.

A little break from the heat today. It's 58 right now. Alternating storms, heating/cooling, and wind. The storm I mentioned earlier in the thread did a huge amount of damage. Probably 100 yards wide x 1/2 mile long zone of total destruction.

Sounds like a mcroburst.

70°, cloudy with scattered thunderstorms. A fine day for treework.

Need more rain, soon, stage two will lead to stage three and forest closure, at which point I'll be royally screwed. No forest means no camping...

 

[lxskllr]

How often does it get to stage three where you're at?

 

[Kaveman]

We get stage two almost every year, forest closures average out to every other year. That said, it's becoming much more frequent.

 

[lxskllr]

Well, best of luck. Hope everything goes your way, or at least close enough.

What's this air conditioning thing you speak of?

 

[lxskllr]

Man, I wish ac was optional here. I mean it's always technically optional, and I went without it for years, but it sucks. I'd like to be able to open the windows and think "Man! This feels great!"
