The cities in the Midwest and Northeast had better brace for the heat wave that is coming, because the fire weather that caused all of the problems in Colorado is no its way there.
That Debby still exists in any form given all of the negatives that were trying to destroy it proves that it would have been a very major hurricane without both dry air and wind shear to hold it down. It came into existence 400 miles in diameter and was pulling moisture from the Gulf and the Atlantic. It had the potential to be another Katrina, which is why I obsessed on it.
]]>Ah, rain. I’m not going to see any of that until the rainy season arrives again in October… well, *if* we have a rainy season this year. We didn’t last year. Heck, some of us ran the Rubicon Trail in freakin’ *FEBRUARY*, the only real issue was ice on the water crossings (which required a lot of winching since there was no traction with offroad tires on the ice), when usually the snow is deeper than the roofs of our Jeeps and we don’t make it more than a few hundred feet before having to be dragged back out to the highway via winch cable.
Weird weather this year indeed…
