Summehry look…in the summeh? No way…

Could go for some 90s again

I ran the numbers for June 24 using both regression equations: Pre-2000: 101.9; 2000-Present: 99.5; there's little doubt that absent the dense tree cover that was largely not present prior to 2000, Central Park would have surpassed 100° on June 24.

That stuff I think is natural. It’s garlic oil and some other stuff. But yeah mosquitoes suck

Some friends of ours in town use some service. It is guaranteed. If you see a mosquito (or tick) they come back the next day and spray again. Im not a huge fan of spraying because it harms other insects. But it is tempting. Screen porch ftw as well.

My cousin lives in Bridgewater by the Taunton river. The mosquitoes there will gnaw your arm off and fly it back to their nest. They used this treatment that was comprised of garlic oil and said it really worked. Was done by some company. So I think there’s options for you.

Feb 2006. But yea I remember when they adjusted January 2016 to be above that storm and become number 1. Feb 2006 was uber fluff anyway and that 26.9 inches was snowboard derived plus ultra local, I had closer to 20. January 2016 had 30 inches DEPTH and over a very large area, it was BS for that storm to not be number 1.

Sorry - I stole your rain. 0.30” here.

Some of our neighbors treat for mosquitoes. Hubbardston is a giant swampy forest. So unless you drop a ton of DDT, the mosquitoes would laugh. Foggers work a bit for a few hours. We didn’t plan on doing the fire tonight so I didn’t have any on hand.

As soon as Stein hit last week , yes much less mosquitoes. Lawns are furnacing brown in sun

Lantern Flies? If they are, destroy them.

Seems like mosquitoes not as bad this week as it’s been dry here locally.

What about yard foggers? Or maybe treatments for the property? Maybe not cheap but allows you to enjoy the outdoors.

I know I'm jinxing myself but they haven't been too bad in southborough. Although I don't stay out much past dark. Certainly leave your phone in the house. Mosquitoes love 'em.

Good news. That should give Japan second thoughts before attacking Pearl Harbor again.

I am also thinking that maybe we started the solo a bit too early. The stupid pricks calm down a bit as it gets darker

It's the question of life. No one seems to be able to answer it.

Spent a good part of my youth water skiing there.

Why the fuck do there have to be mosquitoes. Ruining what is otherwise a stunning evening.

Now you’re getting it. Put down the chainsaw and hop into Cochituate State park.

I really wish there was a way to adjust the numbers like they did for the January 2016 snowstorm. Remember when they did that? It was originally slightly behind January 2006 and then adjusted upward later. There is a scientific way of doing this using nearby stations.

we sun

This image really puts things in perspective of how small this tropical storm is in comparison with the Epac system. Atlantic really struggling to produce anything meaningful while adding named storms.

It's hard to believe Central Park being 5 degrees cooler than me but here we are. I'll also note that even when we went completely overcast here for an hour I was still 3 degrees hotter than Central Park's highest temperature of the day!

As far as I'm concerned it was broken, I don't have to pretend that Central Park is accurate.
