We are burnt to a crisp. One or two more mows should about do it. Parts of Ste Genevieve got some rain this AM. But there is a large section of Reynolds, Wayne, Perry and St. Francois that haven't seen a measurable rain in a month or so........

Grandson and I built a Screech Owl/Sparrow Hawk bird house last week and we were painting it today and we could hear very distant Thunder. Looked on radar and is very distant. Had to be the pop up cell that just fell apart over Franklin/St. Charles County lines. Defiance looks to be 50 miles, roughly, as the crow flies from me. I'm also trying to "will" the storms north of Rolla to get them moving toward me.

I was thinking the same while mowing Sunday. 2 more mows is probably all I'll need to do unless we start getting rain. |

Ahhhhhhhh!!!!!
Just looked at the radar and it looks like the storms are falling apart just to the west of me. This Jefferson County "force field" is something to behold.🤬🤬🤬

Between the moles, heat and drought my formerly beautiful lawn is now toast. I've gotten 6 moles so far this year. Not bad for hunting on 4 acres.
My crabgrass didn't grow much last week, but it's loving this week's weather.

I have mole hills and I have holes where my dog digs (extremely fast) for moles. It's a go***MN mess.

The storms I guess created an outflow boundary and then this developed over me exiting to the south of me now. very nice down pour toad Strangler probably half to three quarters of an inch guestimating and some very close lightning strikes.

Looks like things have changed for you this afternoon, depending where you are in the county though the whole county just about is getting dumped on. |

We live in that linear Kinsey-French Village-Jackson School road area. Everything was southeast or northwest of us. I think we will get something, or it may be already raining there, we have our open house at school tonight. It's raining pretty good in town though.... |

We have the greenest yard in our neighborhood, only because the sprinklers are set to go off 2-3 times a week. My mom's yard is cracking.

Any of our Ste Gen County peeps know anyone who lives there?

This has been some very Opressive Heat for late August. It's just Nasty. Yesterday was just brutal, and moisture is thick tonight, my glasses fog up when I go out and windows are sweating.
I'm ready for next week.

As hot as it's been, this isn't nearly as bad as what we endured last August...that was easily the worst stretch of heat I've ever experienced

Corn Sweat
As if it hasn't happened for all of time.
I first heard that it's being plastered all over the interwebs last night. Welcome to living in crop country. Every.Single.Year.

I'm in my mid-40's, and it never fails to amaze me how quickly we move from that to "wearing hoodies in the bone-chilling breezes of mid-October". It feels like it flips almost overnight. And I'm here for it, soon. |

Geting reports of some minor damage at Grayhawk Lakes west of Ste. Genevieve. Any of our Ste Gen County peeps know anyone who lives there? The only report I had heard was a power line down in the Weingarten area(same area as Grayhawk). We got somewhere around 1.125-1.25" in a short time. |

And I'm here for it, soon. I've said it on here before, but I absolutely get crabby this time of the year. I work a lot of side work on the weekends(decks, siding, roofing etc), on top of football practice/games every evening during the week. Just completely burnt out on heat/humidity by the time September 1 hits. That first cool front, with the long range of cool weather, puts life back into me. I can't remember if it was 2018 or 2019, we had a really warm/dry October that year, very annoying. Then a few weeks later we had a snow day. haha |

Snow occurred in several parts of the country this week. Granted they were all in higher elevations. Chris had video from Glacier NP last night. There was also snow in Lassen Mountain NP as well as Mammoth Mountain, CA. I don't re3member there being snow in that many separate places this early in the season. Don't know what it means, if anything.
BTW, Chris we had several inches of wet, slushy snow fall on Logan Pass when we visited there on July 8, 1977. It was interesting watching people from Florida drive their RV in the stuff on a mountain road. It was also fun to watch the delight of their children play in the fresh snow for the first time.
