    Been awhile since I darkened the doorway here! Been a pretty warm summer (and random crazy storm weather) here, except for last night. Temp went down to +2 C or 35-ish F abouts. Poor stove still sitting there waiting...
    It was a very odd blip in our weather that's for sure. We were enjoying/suffering (depends who you are!) a pretty nice streak of hot weather and then poof, one cool night and cold day. Back to high normal temps now.

    Another sticky day. Rather stuffy outside. We have not had much of a breeze lately but it would be nice if we did in this weather. Hoping for some rain here then maybe the air will clean up a bit.

    We could certainly use some of that cold air here. We're trying to be patient waiting for October.

    It got down to +3C here at the mine last night plus more of what we've already had - high winds and hard driving rain. We're supposed to get hammered again tonight and then have a few dry days. Here's hoping. I'm really looking forward to some warmer temps and sunshine when I get back to civilization.

    Man this is the south!! We could be 66% humidity and 94f still this time a day this time of year!

    That low humidity is the thing that makes it nice.

    Only reason for that is......S.C. is about the only state where you can harvest a buck still in velvet n that's what I wanted....other than that....to hell with that kinda heat while hunting.....I'm used to the snot freezin in your nose while out....

    It's weird today, as it feels like 75% humidity but it's only 25% with moderate forest fire smoke from British Columbia. It hit 90°F this afternoon, Saturday was the record day. I saw 105° on my NOT laboratory instrument grade recording thermometer and the nearest official weather station at Indian Head, Sask got to 104.5° F, hottest day all dates since 1937.

    I would have zero interest in hunting in that heat. Every now and then it turns out hot in October here. I remember one year it got to 83 degrees on opening day (Oct 1). I stayed out until about 9:00 that morning and called it quits. If you shot a deer then you'd definitely need to find a walk-in cooler else it would go bad fast. We cringe here if we have to take care of deer when it is high 40's or even up to 50. Not good for meat.

    Much cooler today, thankfully. If the temperature was high it would be almost unbearable. Temp now is 75 with dewpoint 69. Ugly.
