ckf Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 We ended up with a high temperature of 83° with dew points in the mid 60's. We were fortunate to have a nice breeze all day to help keep it bearable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We picked up .20" of rain this morning from a thunderstorm. Damn storm woke me up at 5AM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ckf Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Not a bad day so far. We've had mostly sunny skies with temps in the mid 70's. I could here thunder in the distance so I took a look at the radar. Storms are moving from the upper left down to the lower right. If that storm up around Montreal stays together it could get nasty around here a little later.

It also moderates temps in the winter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
