As I worked on the woodpile, some clouds passed overhead. They did not even slow things down. I did put a new bar and chain on my saw and that has made all the difference in cutting the wood, but the splitting is another matter. These logs at four-foot lengths weighed between 400 and 500 pounds each. They were maple, and a real treat to split. The birch log was not as heavy, but it was not light either. I did not get the volume of wood that I have been getting, but the weight was certainly there.
N.O.A.A. was off by about 10°F, but that is all right, it was a great day to be outside. Their forecast for no rain and the sky cover were right on target. The same was true of the Weather Underground model forecast map. The Weather Underground model forecast map is calling for clear sky overnight and into tomorrow. The N.O.A.A. graphic forecast maps are indicating no rain overnight, but fog by 05:00 hours, the temperature falling to around 50°F, and the sty cover to be around 24% to 25%. I can accept that.
My instruments and indicators seem to agree with those forecasts. The Weather Stick points slightly up responding again to the lower humidity, and potentially to some nice weather. The sky this evening was red again as it was last night. The Min/Max Thermometer indicates rising barometric pressure with clear skies, and so does the Weather Station Console. The remote weather station forecasts mixed sun and clouds. I guess we will have a nice evening, overnight and day tomorrow. Remember to count the foggy mornings next month.
