By 7:00 am dropped to 27.7 on one further from house and stayed at 28.5 on the N....hard frost out there turniing fields white. Where trees had leafed out, oak, maple, river birch and even a tender dwarf peacan no frost under them. The pecan has not lost leaves to a late frost for the past 10 years...it may today!
4/8/2012 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Another frosty morning here. White splashes of frost dot the fields around the house. Down to 31.5 at 4:30am then falling to 30.4 by 6:30 AM on the far thermometer. The one on the N.side of the house stayed at 31.5 not as bad as yesterday am. A kiwi pair has some leaf damage as does the tips of the dwarf pecan but all else stayed a healthy green.

4/12/2012 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M A low of 26.6 this am with N wall of house registering 28.5 and only pockets of frost on the fields with humidity level much higher, 60% as compared to earlier this week, so I'm thinking the dew point wasn't reached to for a full white out on the ground.
4/13/2012 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Warmer this AM. Clouds and higher humidity possibly prevented the low predicted. 42 before sunrise.
4/14/2012 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Low of 34 this am. No rain since the 26th of March. Very dry! Went out to water the asparagus and a pair of adult blue martins greeted me so they are back in the area.

6/13/2012 7:00 AM 0.21 M M M M The squall line stretched SW to NE moving SE passing over my location last evening ~ 8:00 pm. I was in the yard watching the roiling clouds literally descending SE of me..and looking up it seemed as if they were coming straight down but no wind at the surface. I realized I was watching the cold front "bowing", slowing, and descending and bunching up in front of a warm body of air that seemed to stall and build for awhile. The air was at first still at the surface but clouds above were moving quickly SE. Many protrusions hanging from the cloud deck behind the smooth squall line but no rotations. Wind picked up at the surface with rain shortly there after. The radar I looked at of this event made no comparison to the visual display I witnessed!

6/24/2012 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M No rain but a different show impressed me this AM. At about 7:15 am the sun was at 30 degrees above the horizon and a plume of cirrus clouds was flowing NE to SW creating an rainbow arc at about 75-80 degrees smiling and making about 1/3 of a circle. Red at the bottom layer and blue on top. It lasted about 5 minutes after I first noticed it on my walk to get the paper at the end of my driveway. Lovely way to start the day.

6/30/2012 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Strong squall line moved from NW to SE, mostly strong straight line wind but so dry only a few drops of rain hit the ground despite yellow blobs on the radar. Hit here around 10:30 PM. Weather station showed relative humidity never got above 57% then got blown off its mount. Found it in the yard in pieces this AM. Small limbs down up to 2" here, blew over large 30 gallon containers of hostas. Locally in VA radar from Blacksburg went down as did Lynchburg WSET 13 TV station. Old Dominion Electric says 790,000 out of power fortunately we have power. It got to 106 in the sun and a not much better 105 in the shade yesterday at 5:00 PM. It shot up to 108 on the N.side of the house but the thermal mass of the house with dark brown siding added to the air temperature. Cool 69 this am
7/1/2012 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Thunder and lots of lightening around 2:30 am and a shower so brief that nothing hit the rain guage but I did hear some hit the tin roof of my house.
7/2/2012 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Daytime highs continue to reach 103-6 these past few days. As the rain storms came across Southside Virginia yesterday the radar showed promising blobs of yellow and red only to disappear just west of me and reform to the east of me. Relative humidity stays in the 40-50% range despite the storms. Mostly pasture around my house so the hot thermal mass of air prevents any rain from reaching the parched ground.

7/23/2012 7/28/2012 7:00 PM 6 0.25 M M Gone on a vacation for the week but only .25 inches fell during that time...very dry and getting more so. Rain most likely fell on Thursday going by the state of my container plants and hanging baskets that are more protected by the overhanging parts of the house.
