Oregon cooling.....

[JAG1]

Had to light a fire this morning..... got the wood stove going for the first time since last spring. Now for watching that redneck southern drawl Dr. Vernan Mc Gee. He is really cool.

Nothing new. It's just a mere 51°F here this morning. I've already seen a few mornings as low as 35°F already. Attic is insulated and the heat pump is running this morning. I've gotta start looking at getting firewood split and stack soon.

Your lucky yours is dry. my unsplit rounds are sitting in rain today, but we are supposed to have another warm dry spell so not too worried.

 

Redneck rain gauge shows we got an inch of rain in the last 24 hrs. Very cool as most years rains don't come back till another 3-6 weeks.

 

Get your firewood done soon..... I'm thinking we are about due for a good winter this time around.

Same here mine is rain soaking right now. Nothing in the shed but just barely a 0.5 cord.

Supposed to hit 97 out this way today with no rain in site for a while. We are quite dusty.

Still as I post this only 52°F this morning and rained over 0.77 inches already. Global warming is over and now for global cooling mode.

This summer has been fantastic this year.  Surprisingly cool temps overall, with the occasional high days.  I've been planning for wood early this year so hopefully I have a handle on things before the cold winter days roll in.

 

The funny thing about the weather patterns I have noticed these past few years or so is that I remember the hottest part of the day being around 1-2 pm.  Now the hottest part of the day is 4-5 pm.  And the afternoon heat is intense, like you feel like you're burning even though its only in the mid 90's.  Weird...

 

I remember there being a rumor that the planet has turned slightly off its axis due to normal patterns in weather, or one that said an earthquake knocked it off a few degrees.  Maybe its true.

Yeah it is true I think I remember the north pole has moved some 200 miles from its normal position. Man I hope that means we get the northern lites down further south. That would be cool.

 

I wanted to mention about global warming.... the fact that just outside our atmosphere the temperature is -245 degrees F. in space.... Isn't that a major factor in helping keeping us cool. ?

Yeah but all that liberal hot air is warming things up...

In oregon we used to cool off fast at night in the summer. We aren't seeing any of that lately for the past few years. It's like the jet contrails are trapping the heat in overnight. I see so many contrails now literally almost covering the entire sky when the suns' angle is just right.

 

This summer has been wonderful in Oregon as well. I thank God for that because I suffer excessively on hot days now that I'm just a wee older. I tell ya tho I can eat a danish the size of a diner plate very easily. IBMobile gives me a morsel at camp. I think he gobbles them down when everyone is asleep.

Don't get me started about the apostolate of the new religion of the left.

I've seen you do it that's why I have to hide them when you come over for coffee at camp.
