Well there's something you don't see often....severe t-storm watch and frost advisory all on the same page; (scroll down).
 
We had some move through yesterday. Was in the forecast for today but they backed off. It was cloudy this morning but sunny this afternoon. A tad muggy. More rain tomorrow then it cools off. High in the 50's Thursday then back to 60's.
 
81::F now (9 pm), Thursday's low is to be 44::F - guess I have to bring up more wood. :(
 
We got hit pretty good in our area, boating season was just made a bit shorter. The good, the house and the surrounding trees made it through without a scratch, the bad.... I could only make it back in on our property I cut on about 1/2 mile, 3-4 Hemlocks down just off the trail, a top of a good size White Pine is blocking the trail with some Cherry.

I did check on our neighbors, all were safe but we still are without power (not a big deal). It looks like Mother Nature gaves us more work, milling and firewood.

Pics later. They say we could get some more storms later today, it looks like we might be in for another round on Thursday.
