well after two straight days of baking I'll take a break from it and it's going to get colder the rest of the week (but a Thunderstorm is expected tomorrow....thank god it kind of smells out there)

Hope you guys get endless rain and snow... My backyard is burning to a crisp right now. Prayers for EastMan.

48 mm forecast for Thursday / Friday. The one silver lining in this drought that it has provided top notch planting weather. A shot of rain would kill the fires and get the crop growing.

I remember the end of April or early May 1972 when I was in Grade 11. My father bought a used boat as we used to do a lot of fishing. Our other boat was just too small. It was pretty sweet with a 70 hp engine so I was excited. I volunteered to clean the boat inside & out as he wanted it ready to go Opening Day. I just about died in the heat cleaning the boat as temps were in the high 20's & low 30's.

No snow in the forecast anymore. Rain tho. Rained 3 times now today. From 2 till about 3. From 830 to 850 and from about 930 to 950. Still smells like smoke to me.

That 36.4 or whatever day. Man. Thank god the trees had some leaves already. Cuz holy smokes that was a hot one. That one killed me a little bit. Felt it more than I would in July or August when it’s “normal” ish.

Just got evacuated from the Whiteshell last night. Hopefully my home is still standing when I return. We need a solid steady downpour for a couple of days.

Brutal... I was just in/on Falcon last Saturday. Hard to comprehend everything that's happened.
