The Diamondbacks start a home stand the 27th against the Phillies then the Giants. Chase Field is a very nice park, air-conditioned.
|
Yes,I've been to Chase field for DB games. My parents are huge fans.
It's amazing to me to see a huge,AC cooled stadium. Growing up in CO,that really wasn't an issue. Heavy snow,now that could be an issue in the spring and fall. |

BP Did you get hit last night. We had a great deal of rain but no wind.
|
It is already summer. Or supposed to be.:shock: An our high for today is forecast at 62F. :P. PNW weather, you know !!!:panic:
But in a couple of days we should get into 80s. |
It's been quite dry at my house, but we are at 1.61" of rain and counting!!! Very much needed! I sprayed my tomato plants Friday night and had I not it probably wouldn't have rained. I'll do another preventative spray tonight but well worth it!
|
It has been really dry here. thankfully we got a nice shower this past week, but last night we drove two hours to a tiny place called Byhalia... anyone heard of it? tiny! (to pick up a cultivator for our ingersoll tractor for the corn) and they were still flooded from a recent storm... we saw mud covering fields of soybean, water still out of ponds, out of creek, covering fields, a mud line foot up the trees, shrubs and vegetation all the debris floated to the edges of the fields and up on the roads..... oyvey! I felt really bad for them.

[I] The hottest temperatures of summer are on the way, and almost the entire U.S. will be sweltering for the next few days. [/I][I]A massive “heat dome” is settling in over the central United States, which means unlikely cities like Omaha, NE; Des Moines, IA, and Pierre, SD will experience temperatures around the 100s and heat indices of more than 110.[/I] [I]The culprit is a massive high-pressure system forming at exceptionally high altitudes that acts like a lid on a pressure-cooker, forcing hot air back down to the surface, where it gets even hotter.[/I] [I]The Midwest and Southeast are beginning to feel the effects Wednesday, and the East Coast and Atlantic Seaboard will start to bake from Thursday through the weekend.[/I] [I]By Thursday afternoon, the heat index, which calculates how hot it feels, will exceed 100 degrees from the Canadian border to the Gulf of Mexico, and from the Rocky Mountains east to the Atlantic Ocean.[/I] [I]Northeastern cities like New York, Philadelphia and Washington, DC, will see indices in the high 90s.[/I] [I]Lows will fall into the 70s at night, which won't offer a lot of relief.[/I] |
yep... it is hot and I have been sweltering everyday just trying to get normal stuff done in the garden. tonight we picked 8 buckets of beans and I didn't finish. that was 1/2 of them... I don't know how I am going to get them all picked in this weather. I have a market tomorrow night... I can't pick while I am gone and Friday is 94>.. whoo whee. I might have to toss them if they get too big from the heat.

And a forecast of +90 for the next 10 days.
|
Ugh, I forgot my seedlings outside today and whoa were they crispy when I got home from work. The stems were totally fried and I doubt they'll make it. Maybe no tomatoes this fall. It gets up to 113 this week. Ugh.

Batten down the hatches north coasters!

Talking about weather:
I mover to Southwest NC about 15 days ago and last Saturday we got the tail end of hurricane Matthew. Probably we had about 15 to 17 inches of rain, .... flooding. No wind destruction. Just flooding. Few dams on Lumber river broke making a bad situation worse. Not only the creeks were flooding , even water from the river over flew its banks. But not serious damage other than electric sub stations in our area went under water. We got the power back after 5 days. The land is so flat around here that hardly anything flows. |
it has been raining here since the beginning of september. seems like only a handful of days where it hasn't rained. i am falling further behind on outdoor tasks that need to be done before the snow starts. we might have a bunch of snow this winter.

A new weather sat went into orbit and it's very cool.

Yesterday our high reached 81F. And last night's low dropped to 31F. Wow ! 50 degrees drop in less than 12 hours..
Right now at 8 AM it is 36F. |

[B]Have a nice n HAPPY upcoming THANKSGIVING HOLIDAY WEEKEND.[/B][/QUOTE] A lot better than that. Mostly 50s at night and high 60;s to 70' in the day. But I am farther south. |
[QUOTE=Worth1;600933]A lot better than that.
Mostly 50s at night and high 60;s to 70' in the day. But I am farther south.[/QUOTE] Yeah, sure . You are also far away from the Northeast. But this time around we have been getting cold from the west/ nwest. |
Thats about all we get cold from here is the northwest.
I like this weather this morning it was 62 in the house I have the heat set for 55. I went to bed at 8 woke up at 9 and I cant go back to sleep. |
We had our first snow last night. We may see more on Thanksgiving.
Saturday was sunny and 60F. My husband and I spent five hours out riding our motorcycles around the rural backroads in southwestern NH -- possibly our last ride of the season. |
Utah 6,000 ft. it's been normal for here....
Days in the 50's/60's and nights variable; 30' and 20's with several dips down into single digits. Raining right now, real nice. |

Right now at 8 AM it is 36F.[/QUOTE] Welcome to the South. During spring, fall and winter it is not that unusual to see vast temperature changes in a very short time. Wait til you get one of our sudden temperature drops in the spring when everything is blooming and you are absolutely sure that winter is over. It doesn't happen often but when it does it can devastate your garden and any fruit trees you have. My usual plant out date for tomatoes is the first week of March but I have put them out as early as mid February and as late as the end of April and once they all got killed even set out that late. Of course once summer really sets in you can be pretty sure that it will remain hot and humid with little respite for way too long.:P:)):)) Bill |
Yeah, I believe you , Bill.
We are having 3 nights of back to back frost and tomorrow nigh will be the 4th in a row. As I look at historical averages, November lows should be 41F. Gotta get used to this. We have good 3 months of winter ahead of us. I could do some cool crop but my garden was not ready on time. I have put my garden to bed, on a mattress of fall leaves and a blanket of pine straw:lol::)) |
Bill, I see that you understand Texas weather too. I've seen people planting tomatoes as early as late February here, and I've watched others lose tomato plants May 2 to frost and freeze.
Temperature averages are just that. It means they take in data that some years the low for that day is 15F and another year it is 64F. It is an average taken from many years of figures. Tropical and arctic temps are easier to rely on. |

Tropical and arctic temps are easier to rely on.[/QUOTE] Yes, I once had to replant all my peppers and tomatoes in very early June because of a May series of frosts and light freezes that left them either dying or stunted. By the time I realized how damaged they were I didn't get my main crop of tomatoes in till June 15 but it turned out to be an unusually cool summer that year and we had a very late fall so it actually worked out well despite the hassle. It always pays to have plenty of replacement plants down here especially when spring planting is starting. Despite how hard it is to do I always watch my tulip poplars to see when they start leafing out before planting tomatoes or other frost sensitive seedlings no matter what the weather feels or looks like. So far no losses since following this native tree which for the past 20 years has not missed signalling a late frost or freeze by delaying opening up despite unseasonably warm weather. Bill |
Of all the places that I have been, PNW has the most predictable spring frost weather. NEVER a frost after April. But then spring cool weather can linger all the way to July.
In Atlanta GA , when the red bud flowered it was officially spring. and never a frost/freeze after May. That is what I experienced in 10 years. I know parts of Texas (Dallas area )you can have brutal cold winters and scorching hot summers. I have relative who live down there. |
Gardeneer, if your relative in the Dallas area lived here last year, they got see something really odd. 62.61 inches of precipitation (rain) and sandwiched between the rainy seasons was 41 days without any precipitation from July 9 - August 18, 2015. The third most driest consecutive days. The 62.61 inches of rainfall in 2015 blew away the record of 53.53".
DFW Airport is poor place to keep weather records. It is almost always wetter/colder/hotter just a few miles away.. At our house some 50+ miles to the south, we had over 73 inches of rainfall in 2015. There were many days that our 5" rain gauge overfilled. I do agree that knowing the averages is a very useful tool, but it doesn't tell, "The rest of the story" as Paul Harvey would say. I miss hearing him. I found this one because it's just before Thanksgiving [URL]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cG72ld2kgOo[/URL] |
I remember one time the Astros game was rained out!! Parking lot was lake . 12 inches in 2 hrs!!!
|
TALKING weather; Last night was our 4th frost night in a row.
I have a simple weather station with a sensor outside and a receiver inside. It also keeps 24 hour records of H, L, RH. our low last night dipped to 28F and our high yesterday was 65F. But its going to get out of the frost hole for a while. My mustard green germinated in the garden survives all that. |
