Summer has arrived!! Shaping up to be a normal summer this year.

Today and for the next 2 days low 80's. Rest of the ten day forecast mid to high 70's with on 69* degree day and rain. Nights down to mid to low 50's. Nice!!! I'm hoping Karyn will let me leave the windows open all night.

Last summer it was colder then normal. Got one day at 80* and that was in May of all timing. Most of the summer was mid 69's rarely hit 70 degrees. Lots of rain, crappy summer.

Clouds came in from the coast last evening, and woke up to drizzle this morning; 0.03" of rain last night. Hope to get up to 0.1" so I don't have to water the lawn for a couple of days.

75* currently, bright sun streaming in through the bedroom window. Today is supposed to start The Extreme Heat Week, but the predicted 101* is pretty summer-normal hereabouts. You KNOW that news orgs are in a bad way when the weather info is spun up and bloviated.

I haven't been chigger bit yet. It does seem like the tick population hasn't been hindered in the least by the sub-freezing and even sub-zero weather we saw last February. Have pulled 3 ticks off me, 3 off the Mrs. and 1 off the youngest son. We've caught 3 scorpions in the glue traps thus far. Older son was out yesterday and saw a good sized tarantula; first of the season.

They go underground and wait out the winter, bout can't get cold enough to hurt them. As soon as the ground warms up they're out looking for someone to dine on.

104* right now, and we are starting to get thunderheads boiling up over the mountains. We did start the A/C about an hour ago, so all is cool and comfy now. The weather propagandists are calling this a "Heat Warning". We called it "Summer" when I was growing up.

Didn't get to turn the sprinklers off for even one day; got 0.13" of rain over two cloudy days. Heat low pushing up from AZ and NV so will be hot and sunny for next 10 days.

100 and "dry" , thunder heads all the way around us but the fore guess is only calling for 14% chance of rain .

Rain, last night we got blessed rain, and 2.1 inches of it at that. Along with enough lightning to fix a bunch of nitrogen. Surprisingly hot again today. I'd have thought the cold front passing through last night would have cooled things down.

Tons of vegetation and canopy to prevent run off so that was wonderful.

Well today is the longest day. Here in Alaska it is significant. Tomorrow is less then one second in change. By June 30th we will be losing close to 4 minutes a day and will accelerate to 7 minutes loss a day by the end of July.
Today Fairbanks Alaska has 21:49:43 hours of daylight. It's awesome.

I never did get totally used to that when stationed at Elmendorf.
Of course, I was only up there for two years.
Looks like Anchorage will have 19:23 hours of daylight today.
Loved it in the summer...it is pretty awesome.
The flip side of the coin?
Not so much.
