I fucking HATE summer. Our poor little trees are cooking. The leaves are shriveling up and falling off even though I've been giving them water every night. Oh, and have I mentioned that our house is being invaded by ants looking for food and water? They're coming from every door and window they can squeeze through. I keep seeing ones crawl out of my keyboard. :(

Yes, Ames is completely surrounded by corn...so much so that the meteorology program at ISU has graduate degrees in agricultural meteorology.

Speaking of horrific dew points in Illinois, I just saw the weathernerds post about the ILX sounding with 8000 CAPE. That's certainly the highest I've ever seen.

Yeah, sounding of doom! That's the sort of CAPE we tried to get while playing with NSHARP in Analysis and Forecasting, until we decided to see just how high we could get the CAPE to go :)
