Texas Heat!

   / Texas Heat! #791  
5 PM, back deck, in the shade, with the ceiling fans on... This is a first for me. I've never seen it this hot and dry before. Last evening at 9 PM it had cooled down to 104.

Looks like we may get a break back to normal temps by next weekend! at least for a spell.
Right now I see small showers around the state on NOAA, problem is I think we will have to get a week or more of rain/fog/mist before we get any long term improvement.

I dug 4 holes 30" deep for parking stall post, never hit ANY moisture and we had over a half an in rain less than 2 weeks ago.

Most any critter around gravitates to my yard, or at least the places I water, armadillos have been wreaking havoc and so has the .22:D

110 at my house yesterday:mad:

There is wet stuff falling from the sky this morning.... thought my thermometer was broken, it said 68 degrees. Whoowee!!!!! I got shivers in this cold wet weather. :laughing: Ground is just soaking up this slow drizzle. This last weekend, I spent two days on the tractor fixin' roads at my deer lease. (Which got burglarized this past week. :mad: Probabably Thursday night.) I didn't know that I could make it rain by moving some dirt around. Used to be I'd wash my car... now its building roads. :laughing:

Don,

Bout as close as I can get and still be in Texas here in the "non-panhandle" area. Closer to the Atlantic Ocean too, but didn't see any of Irene... :laughing:

It was only 106 here yesterday and got all the way down to 83 this morning. Sure was some pretty clouds for awhile, but that 10% chance of showers was ridiculously over optimistic. Once again, I did a lot of lawn watering yesterday and again this morning, in hopes of just keeping the grass and trees alive until it rains. Some of the leaves have turned brown and fallen; others just look sickly and shriveled up on the trees.

Heat - ditto
Dry - ditto
Watering - ditto
Armadillos - ditto
Miserable - ditto

That about wraps up my report.:rolleyes:

With the cloud cover and cool breeze, I thought we'd likely not make 100 today. Now it's clear and the sun's out. It's 96.5 at 1 pm and it will easily make 100. :(

Texas
Cooler weather is just around the corner.
Up here it is 75 right now with 43% humidity. Last night it was 56.
I quit mowing about 2100 and was chilly walking back to the house.
Since I fixed the finish mower it is mow, mow, mow. I could almost bale it.

Just in for a coffee break.
No watering
No Armadillos
No time for TBN
Should be 92 and stormy by Friday
Ohio
