Northern weather

[rogruth]

It has gotten below 70 so out came the under shirts and the long pants.
I fell much colder now than I did 20-30 years ago.
I remember playing in the snow when it was 0 degree for several hours.
Now I am ready to go inside and turn on the heat when it drops to 65.

Roger, I'm a real He-Man! I'm perfectly comfortable as long as the temperature ranges between 65 and 70!

Back to the 80's this week in central Maryland...how long can we go before the furnace cuts on?

It was 39 degrees as I was driving north of Baltimore on 83 up to the Strasburg meet yesterday morning and I can assure you that the heat was on.

There was also some serious fog over the river before Columbia in PA, too.

Forecast was for 30% or 40 % rain this morning. I poo pooed it as so often they say its going to rain and not a drop. But it rained 6 hours light rain but rain.

Remember, if there is a 30% chance of rain that there is a 70% chance it will not rain.

Box turtles? Used to have those crawling through the yard on a regular basis twenty years ago, then they disappeared. There was nothing more fun than finding one when you were a kid (which probably explains why there are none around).

We still have them about where I live in Va. See one every so often in the front yard gardens...

Used to be able to find them all the time at my place in Pa, but tougher now.

Maybe, but probably more to traffic, predators on eggs, etc.

As a young adolescent driver, decades ago, I remember being cautioned to stop to let them pass by as they crossed a (rural-ish) / suburban street. I always did. However, I was aware some urchins saw box turtles as targets, the sumbiches.

Murph,

I didn't know you knew the Sumbiches. They lived just down the street from me in Bellaire.
