Cicada invasion soon. Little buggers [NOTE: language sanitized] emerge with ground temps at 64F. Closest reliable data source to us – from the KY mesonet in Warren Co KY – shows their soils getting close to the magic number. We are probably a little bit warmer here, being further south. Our forecast has 87F and 89F temps Wed & Thu. So expect them to start showing up this week. Some of us have already seen them. I lived through the invasion in the 80s and it was not pretty. Pro tip: avoid perms, keep it tight, because those lil buggers [again, language sanitized] will pull up in your hair, shoutout to my screaming mother. Also if you have a vehicle with a big front grille, invest in a pressure washer.
