Mowed the yard at 6 30 this morning,[yes I did get some dirty looks and was proclaimed number one by my closest neighbor] temp was already 84 degrees with a heat index of 90......should reach a 100 today with a heat index of 115.....pretty brutal for Nebraska.

Yeah, I've restrained myself to not mow before 8:30 am. Even at that time, I'm concerned some neighbor will gripe. But, I can't really do it until about 9 anyway, to allow the morning dew to evaporate somewhat.

I rarely mow before 9 myself but the heat dictated else wise.

I was stationed in both Norfolk and Virginia Beach I'm guessing the humidity/dew is similar? During the pine tree pollen season was pretty awesome yellow everywhere and so hot when it got done raining the roads would steam!

Oh yeah, that pine tree pollen season is amazing: a slight puff of breeze sends yellow/green pollen billowing everywhere and putting down a haze of pollen on cars, roads, everything. When  it rains, that yellow/green dust is gathered up in rivulets and washes down the driveway and sidewalks. The cars get all covered in the powder; hard to keep clean for a couple of weeks. And, yeah, the roads do steam after a rain, adding to the already high humidity. ?
