All Activity

Hoes are definitely down

Would you take them 1/6.5? I agree that potential injuries are the greatest variable to them not performing on top of the league.

63F for a afternoon high temperature on nearly July 1.

The pitching is just plain bad, and it puts pressure on the offense. This is a lost season realistically, but maybe the second half can provide some optimism for next year if Bradish and Wells can get back and be productive.

looks like the sfc boundary is moving south a bit, from Walpole to S. Wey

72/68 here. Sticky

Sure did. Nothing here from the first "line" but there's at least some activity behind it.

Definitely cross the front down and Hanover. About 75 and much warmer than home.

They are top 4. Very tough schedule but on paper probably the most talented team. If they stay healthy this might be their year. Just need to execute in the playoffs when its all on the line. They are super motivated.

Dews are definitely up

Age will do that. There are pharmacological interventions nowadays…

Aye, laddie! Grab yourself a few drams of single-malt Scotch, call everyone a bastard, and... oh wait! You said ENGLAND! Sorry, my bad! My Scots-Irish background got in the way! But seriously, I hope you have a fun time there! I've been to England/Scotland a couple of times years ago (mainly London and Edinburgh). It was great, and I hope to go back again sometime! I do recall that at various local pubs, I never had the same beer twice!

I love my seven wood. I have an old TaylorMade.

A belated happy birthday to you, mappy!!! I hope you had a good one! Everyone deserves something good on their birthday, that's my philosophy and belief.

The warned cell formed a mile to my southeast. Been watching it build as it slowly pulls away. Continuous house-shaking thunder under sunny skies.

That 99 in 1983 tied 1931 (Sep 11) but yes it was the latest in season. The next benchmarks are 97F on Sep 23, 1895 and 94F Oct 5, 1941, 91F Oct 10, 1939, and 90F Oct 17, 1938. Benchmarks after that are Oct 22 1979 (88F), Oct 23, 1947 (85F), Nov 1 and 2 1950 (84F, 83F), Nov 15 1993 (80F), Nov 20, 1985 (77F) , Dec 7 1998 (75F) and possibly Dec 24 2015 (72F). (a benchmark as you probably know is a latest occurrence in season, or an earliest from midwinter to midsummer). Benchmarks before the 1881 101F are (by definition) the all-time record 106F July 9, 1936, then 104F Aug 7, 1918, 103F Aug 26, 1948 and 102F Sep 2, 1953, 101F Sep 7, 1881. 2015 (Dec 24) at 72F is a partially invalid benchmark as it was also 72F on Jan 6, 2007 and Jan 26, 1950. These are probably the real benchmarks eliminating Dec 24, 2015 but another view would be only Jan 25, 1950 is a benchmark (falling) because the coldest day of winter is on average in early February. This is when the benchmarks reverse, so the set of spring into summer benchmarks are 73F (Feb 15, 1949), 78F Feb 21, 2018, 79F Mar 10, 2016, 85F Mar 13, 1990, 86F Mar 29, 1945, 92F Apr 7, 2010; 96F Apr 17, 2002; 99F May 19, 1962; 100F June 26, 1952, 101F June 27, 1966, and 103F July 3, 1966 before the ultimate 106F July 9, 1936. These are the only daily records that "really matter" in the sense that all others are not as impressive in terms of being earliest or latest occurrences. It's interesting how few of these are recent. If you only count the 72F in Jan 1950, then there are 29 benchmarks (one tied 1931,1983, and two cases of two consecutive in same year 1950 and 1966) and the median of the 26 years involved (1950 counts three times, 1966 twice) is 1952. The years counted are 1881 1895 1918 1931 1936 1938 1939 1941 1945 1947 1948 1950** 1952 1953 1962 1966* 1979 1983 1985 1990 1993 1998 2002 2010 (2007, 2015 not counted) 2016 2018 ... The benchmarks cluster noticeably from 1936 to 1953 (12 of 29), and 1979 to 2002 (7 more). There is no significant bias towards recent decades, with 29 benchmarks over 156 years, one would expect 4 since 2000 which is the case. The number established by 1918 (3) is well below random expectation (9). The only year with two non-consecutive benchmarks from the same spell of weather is 1950 (one in January, two in early November). But if Dec 2015 counted, the two closest in time (non-associated) would be that one and March 10, 2016. I'm not sure what name you could give an almost-benchmark, which would be a case like April 18, 1976, tying a benchmark and clearly a near-equal outlier (86F Mar 31 1998 would be another, as would 94F on Sep 23, 1914). I guess almost-benchmark is probably as good as we'll get. A benchmark can be erased as even a daily record, for example, April 7, 1929 (89F) was a benchmark until 2010 replaced it as both a daily record and benchmark. 1991 held a 90F benchmark set April 8, that one is still a daily record but was removed as a benchmark by 2010. May is the only month with only one benchmark. That is a sign of the extreme significance of the 1976 and 2002 April 96 readings, no date in early to mid-May exceeded them (before 1962, the benchmarks were 92F (Apr 27, 1915), 93F (May 12, 1881), 95F (May 25, 1880), 96F (May 31 1895, 1939) and 99F (June 4, 1925).

Had that here on June 24, 106.0 and 102.6 the day after. Beat my July 22, 2011 mark at the same location which was 105.6

For comparison it’s 66 degrees and cloudy in Boston now with a northeast wind

I would think so.. maybe someone can has a Twitter thread or something. 42c is 107F.

Eflin lol. Put him on IR. Throwing batting practice.

I wonder if this is record max heat for Paris?

Sun never even considered coming out today. Fog and mist all day after the morning deluge. Just another craptastic Saturday all around.

Looks like it maxes out over France.. I bet bluewaves 500mb anomaly record maps show historic ridging there.

This was all your doing, Santa Claus!! Christmas in June (in more ways than one too!!)
