    We got hit with this last Tues. http://www.nj.com/gloucester-county/...through_s.html

    The last couple of days here have been fairly brutal. Lots of storm damage in and near Richmond, and lots of power outages. I seem to be in the sweet spot, nothing severe in my immediate area, but opportunities abound today...

    This evening (Saturday) we've been getting hammered, heavy wind out of the east off the ocean and torrential rain, damn chilly too. The NWS has a flood warning up with "get to high ground immediately", no if, just immediately. Gee, no shit Sherlock, the scanner is jumping with flood reports, trees down too, Manasquan a bit north of me just got the OEM truck out for high water rescue. A bit farther north in Sea Girt "Take them out of the jail cells!", it looks like the municipal building is playing Titanic... glug glug glug. Oh well tomorrow's another day, mostly sunny and warm around 80.

    The Summer W/O Air Conditioners

    Over the last 20 years, there seems to have been a change in the weather cycles.

    I would say that both Summer and Winter are becoming more moderate; I remember winters in the early '90 being much colder for extended periods of time, I mean like -17 degrees in January and February. In the past five years, we've hardly had any below zero days in this area.

    Used-to-be that we always had "The D'Aug Daze of Summer" that started in June, peaked in August and carried through September with +90 degree days with high humidity. It's not like that anymore; this feels like summer in Boston or the Finger Lakes area of NYS.

    Because I have so many electrical devices drawing current, my utility bill is 4 times that of my next door neighbors. I have learned to suffer thru the heat until July 1st and then I install my window air conditioners which severely impact my usage of Kilo-watt hours. The air conditioners double my electric charges for the 4 months that they are installed.

    With night time temperatures dropping into the high '50, so far I haven't had the need to install the window units, the ceiling fans keep it comfortable enough; this could be the "Summer W/O Air Conditioners."

    Once the temps start reaching the upper 60's/low 70's the air conditioning comes on here and stays on.

    Sunny weather, temps going up to 36 or 37 C tomorrow and the days after, so a heatwave is on it's way.
    Meh...

    Wow !! Compared to a lot of places our weather here is relatively "cool". We only had 1 or 2 days so far where the temps got into the high 80's. Today was warm, maybe around 77 and the next 7 days is only calling for temps only in the low 80's. Not bad. The longer it stays mild like this the closer we get to the end of summer.

    Had a nice little round of monsoonal thunderstorms here about two hours ago. Not a lot of rain (.02") but some really good electrical action. Temp was about 80F.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.
