Today’s Euro Weeklies had a large increase vs yesterday for the week covering 8/18-24. Yesterday’s run for 8/18-24: Today’s run:

The state championship for the Geography Bee was being held there. It was a middle school competition. Sort of like the Spelling Bee. If I had made the national championship I would have seen Alex Trebek as he was the host of the event! My dad was wondering if we'd be able to make it but it worked out in the end. I remember leaving home with nothing on the ground and then seeing my first glimpse of a coating here or there somewhere between New Rochelle and White Plains. The Catskills got smoked so there was still a ton of snow on the ground even a couple days later.

August could rock in this regard.

I’ve never experienced a summer in W MA with so little thunder. It’s actually the one thing we do best in New England and it has just been so benign.

So far it’s been a fairly hot and humid summer but with enough mild downs to keep people sane. It certainly has not been an exciting summer and for the few that are expecting a major hurricane to hit SNE, good luck with that. I think the hurricane season is going to become Gulf Coast centered by September.

Many Prayers

The current squall line over Northern Lower is more impressive than expected. The southern outflow boundary might act to really concentrate the steam flowing up from Illinois. I don’t see those dewpoints mixing out so easily this time.

Did you just post the same thing in back to back posts? Lol

13-14 and 14-15 were wall-to-wall winters, or at least very close. Both were very cold and snowy from at least January to March, with each having a cold November, and 13-14 a taste of winter in early December (before a 2nd half of the month thaw). 08-09 definitely felt like a longer winter than 09-10 and 10-11. It's just that the cold and snow didn't come hand-in-hand. The cold was there in October-January, but the two snow events happened in early February (this one was more isolated) and early March (the Nor'easter). Of course, 15-16 was saved by the massive snowstorm. Otherwise, it would have been another warm and snowless winter that has become more commonplace since 11-12.

Not even close for the month. Boston is 17th and Worcester is 13th. I guess if you throw out the two biggest cities in New England it was pretty hot in brimfield and shutesbury lolz..

Stay in the sun. Give it a try.

Friday looks like a good time.

Yes, I try to stay out of the direct sun and I walk along the woods and into a cart path.

Saturday looks cooler and drier now with the cold front making it down to Baltimore. Sunday looks wet. The hot days are really just Friday and Tuesday.

No you said Summer somewhere.. I honestly just don't care enough to go through tons of post to find it..

It's probably not going to be all hot all the time either. Saturday looks cooler and drier now with the cold front making it down to Baltimore. Sunday looks wet. The hot days are really just Friday and Tuesday.

For the nation as a whole there seems to be an 11 year cycle-- 1933, 1944, 1955, 1966, 1977, 1988, 1999, 2010, 2010, 2021, the next one would be 2032. Other years around those years are very hot too, it's just that the above are the hottest of their era.

2010 had our hottest summer here

hydrothermal vents need to be protected at all costs, that is where life on this planet began and is the closest to alien life that we have on this planet.

Month not summer . Read

Two of our hotter summers were 1933 and 1936, so I find that really interesting Was 1944 very hot in Phoenix too Don?

No threading tonight but continues to look interesting to me Fri-Sun and next Tue before an extended cool down develops late next week. No Aug thread from myself til late Fri afternoon after the CPC week 3-4 issues.
