Deshler Ohio-crossroads of the B&O Matt eats your fries.YUM! Clinton st viaduct undefeated against too tall trucks!!!(voted to be called the "Clinton St. can opener").
10 PM news last night listed current "feels-like" temps in the mid nineties. That's one problem with high humidity--it doesn't cool down much at night. And I don't think they're expecting that cold wave to get down here.

Yes, the cold wave is moving east--and maybe southeast?

Still lots of rain in KS (my 2nd home) as I prefer CO or Prescott, AZ. But age dictates that I live near family that can care for me (somewhat).
Kansas wheat crop is late this year because of the weather.
45 degrees here and snow in the high country between Johnny and I. Snow at Aspen, Vail, and Winter Park/ Moffat Tunnel. (Steamboat got a foot?) Just damp around here. I'll work under roof today.
52 degrees F here this morning.
DeggestyIs it really summer?
No doubt about it down here.
Did see a few trains on Csx today.Worked on some projects too.Matt got some couplers for the rail cars.We had to send an antenna back because it won't fit his scanner.Friend came over and helped re-hang the door to our train room.The spring in the door handle stopped working so we decided to replace the hinges as well.It's all on the level now.Tomorrow my sister will still be 13 years older than me.I will start a 365 day journey to 50.Hopefully I can find some trains.
Well heck NDG got snow, posted pics of String Lining. Furnace still comes on overnight here... lows mid to high 30's F. Good for sleeping though!
Is it really summer? The low here this motning was 42 degrees F.--and it will stil be cold through Sunday.
Rained overnight at The Glen - we were group 3 - track was still damp. Let discretion be the better part of valor and watched the group.
PA announcer announced the 'official start' of Summer.
Ran the Qualifying session after lunch - Dry Track, Had a drivers meeting after the Q session - came out from the Media Room at WGI and everything was WET. A shower moved through. Felt some spitting rain the rest of the afternoon with alternate Sun and Clouds.
Never too old to have a happy childhood!
Haven't flown my drone for a while, so I took it out to the back yard for some practice. It is now nestled at the top of a tree, a la Charlie Brown. Not sure how I'm going to get it down - too high for a ladder and it's not in an easily accessible spot regardless...
I was planning to use it to help deploy antennas for the field day. There are several athletic field light posts there - the drone could have carried a leader line over the top.
I was thinking about buying a new one, anyhow...

CSSHEGEWISCH Today is allegedly the first day of summer. The only good thing so far is that my morning train was almost 10 minutes early arriving at CUS.

Yes but our latest sunset day is not till June 29th.
Summer officially arrives shortly after noon (eastern) today. Last night I attended a concert by a Beach Boys "tribute" band. They were actually pretty good. It's got to be tough playing in front of an audience of 60-somethings who may know the words and music better than you do...
Gotta get things found and loaded up for the amateur radio "field day" this weekend. Hopefully band conditions will be good and we'll get lots of contacts.
Good Evening
