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

[cory]

Got some hay to bale. I should have cut more. Weather turned out better than forecasted. Some rain on the way.

Just curious, do sell it or use it yourself?

 

[Cobleskill]

Sell it. Keeps me in shape and out of trouble.

 

[cory]

How big is your field?

 

[Cobleskill]

I used to do 100 acres. My help mostly evaporated, I'm 72 and my bud that helps me will be 77 next month, so I have cut back to 60. My son helps when he can after work. It's hard to find anybody that wants to do hard ass work anymore. Kids used to be eager to earn money, but now Mom and Dad just hand it over.

Fukkin flooded! 3/4” last night 7” and counting today. The ground sucked up the first three inches no problem. But Lake Alluvasudden showed up.

Heading into a heat wave for maybe the next ten days. Possible bad storms, also. I've barely used my ac this year, that's about to change.

 

[Burnham]

Cooling trend here...highs in the mid 50's over the weekend.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Was Warming here.
Now cooling

The basement at the rental sump pump is holding for now, more or less recycling the water.

Today we have rather cloudy weather. It's good that it's not raining!) P.S. Question - what time was it when I filmed this video?)

 

[Kaveman]

Dunno, video played way to jerky on my connection to make sense of the audio. That said, it looks pretty there.

Did Stephen ever mention that these foothills are hot? Because they sure as hell are. Nights are still cool-ish. But everyone keeps telling me it "hasn't gotten hot yet" and that's worrisome.

 

[flushcut]

10?

 

[Maximalist]

11

 

[Dave Shepard]

I saw 99 in town, according to the VW. A little warmer tomorrow. 89 Wednesday. 70 Thursday. I'll be in hibernation until Thursday.

 

[Nutball]

He showed the clock, it said 11, and 11 dings

 

[Cobleskill]

90s for days. Dropping to 80s after today. It has been a crazy up and down year. Cold and wet, then hot and dry. Tough to be acclimated when the temp does wild swings.

 

[treebilly]

It’s been nasty here as well. Coolvest is making it tolerable but I’m changing out packs every 30-45 minutes. +3 gallons of water at work everyday plus another gallon between before and after.

 

[flushcut]

What now! The A/C in your cab is broken?
Sorry just bustin balls.

 

[flushcut]

Today was miserable, and that’s all I have to say about that.

 

[Dave Shepard]

Today was better than the last two. About 90⁰. 78⁰ now, and tolerable. Tomorrow predicted to be 70⁰, ramping back into the 80's next week.
We had "feels like" over 100⁰ this week. That's not normal for us in the hill towns of Western Mass.

 

[cory]

Yeah it's been plenty warm this week. T storms hit early this AM and sure enough put a bit of an early morning chill in the air.

Go figure, a cold plunge has been supremely effective in turning the heat wave into a non factor for half day at a time.

 

[treebilly]

What now! The A/C in your cab is broken?
Sorry just bustin balls.

Actually it is broke.

 

[Marc-Antoine]

Very hot here too. Yesterday; it was still 98°F at 18:00. A thunderstorm came during the night and cooled down the air a bit in the morning but that didn't last long. I had to stop several times due to overheating.
Monday will be even hotter.

Damn, Marc, I didn't realize France got so hot! We've got close to the same temps here, near Yosemite, but it's much more humid than where I'm from, so it's significantly more miserable. Nicer on the higher elevations though.

 

[Dave Shepard]

62⁰ now.
