I usually tell folks Outer Banks, since my actual town isn't well known.

Loved going to the OB. I preferred the southern end so I could dive the U-352 out of Morehead City. Wife preferred the northern end up towards Corolla. Which was also fine since I could fish in the sounds.

Neither is mine. I figure everyone has access to maps.

Yeah we like staying in Buxton. I actually live in Moyock though. We only got like 4 inches. Folks further south got more.

Just tell everyone you live next door to Scout Finch.

But I don't. I don't even live next door to that Ryan guy who quarterbacked Notre Dame to a loss against The Ohio State University.

 

[Yoused]

But I don't.

Have you never heard of embellishment? True, Scout and Atticus lived some 70 miles away by road, but, compared to me, you live right next door.

We are supposed to get our first snow today and Phoenix its first precip in 157 days. The system that provided rain to LA is moving east and has dumped 4" of snow on Johnson Valley where King of the Hammers is getting underway. That would be fun. No, not really.

Edit: Got about an inch and it was gone within an hour.

Get ready for a new reality of the modern times.

From the article: https://www.cnn.com/2025/05/13/weather/texas-heat-wave-may-2025-summer-climate

• In Austin, Wednesday’s high of 107 degrees would make it the hottest day in May on record there. Tuesday’s high of 104 degrees would be the hottest temperature on record so early in the year, and the third-earliest date to hit triple-digits there.
• Temperatures in San Antonio could reach at least 103 degrees for three straight days starting Tuesday, a streak that has never been set there during May and is rare in any month.
• Del Rio’s high on Wednesday of 110 degrees would be the earliest it has hit 110 degrees and would tie for the 12th-hottest day on record. It would also be just 5 degrees shy of tying the city’s all-time record of 115 degrees.

I’m not prepared to say this is a permanent new weather pattern, but along the West Gulf of Mexico in the vicinity of Houston Texas , we have been getting daily afternoon thunderstorms and rain, from 30- 240 minutes. If not daily then 4 events a week. I recently read a general article that said due to global warming, higher temps, there is more water in the atmosphere and there will be more rain, at least along the coast? I don’t know.

I do know that this is the first year in July after living here for 15 years, where this kind of rain occurred. And having almost daily rain is wonderful! i guess next year will tell. This is a El Niño neutral year.

Daily storms is typical of a front range (where the Rockies look over the Great Plains) summer. It is also called Monsoon Season in much of the Sonora/Chihuahua region (AZ, SW NM). Meanwhile, we are seeing bare rock on the north face of the big mountain, which is not normal for this time of year. We were up at the pass, where there is a small tarn that I have seen iced over in September but it was ice free this time.

80+ million people to be effected on the eastern half of the US. Stay cool out there folks, with the humidity it sounds like it will be like living in a sauna for several days.
