Let’s not. We’re fine. Got Friday again too.

I say if it’s gonna rain, let it pour baby. I want to see crocodiles and hippos floating down my street with my fat neighbor floating by on his raft yelling obscenities at me while I take another sip of my mudslide and dismissively tip my glass at him. Just imagine the madness!

Let’s shift some of that steady moisture further east about 100 miles. We’ve probably picked up about 3/4 inch from just quick hitting showers+downpours, but it pales in comparison to what others have got.

Backdoor charging SW

The infamous zone of suck rears its ugly head once again. Folks in the interior think I’m full of it but if you walk outside it’s like standing on the side of a fishing boat with a bunch of salty, pudgy men wondering where it all went wrong.

I take back what I said..just had a couple good rumbles here, maybe another downpour or two to keep things interesting?

Congrats to everyone who got in on the action but as usual with these west-east tracks, just a quick shower here. Hardly enough to wash away one of the many layers of pollen starting to build. Heck of a day though before the clouds started building!

Every friggin year, like clockwork! The zone of suck never fails to disappoint in coastal New England. Somewhere deep in the archives of Mayan mythology lies an entire book on this disturbingly predictable phenomenon that seems to occur with such regularity and precision that one could almost tune their half naked daily walks in the yard to its expected arrival! 

My poor dog is totally gone wake up soon with the thunder. I swear she has a sixth sense for when storms are approaching too. My poncho is ready!

Actually had to turn the car ac on for a bit after pulling out of the lot earlier. That thing was a friggin furnace after opening up the door lol. Imagine if we had dps in the upper 60s or higher!

Closing day brought a couple inches of snowfall at the plots

0-4” on the trails.

Photos from below 2,500ft.

Above 3,000ft saw 4” or more per MMSP.  We could only verify 2” so far.

Incredible, it’s such a different world in the northern reaches of New England, even now. Totally looking forward to those glorious shots of the mountain vista once the endless days of warmth and sun take over! 

The trend is our friend..get your ponchos and rowboats ready, she coming!

good weekend to have the windows open.. no install needed 

I keep ‘em closed at night. As a certified insomniac, the sound of the birds screeching at 5am is enough to drive me mad. I don’t understand why they feel the need to cause such a ruckus at the ass crack of dawn everyday. Whatever they’re discussing at that ungodly hour couldn’t possibly be so urgent!

Dumpage..and now the birds are chirping. Yep we’re getting deeper into spring by the day!

Disappointing day, but legit summer evening. Clouds taketh and clouds giveth. 
 

71° OVC

Once that dewy meter crosses 70 and your toosh starts sticking to the patio chair and you can barely move to dodge a rogue bat chasing a giant mosquito, then you know we’re officially into that glorious season. We’re getting there though..slow and steady baby!

Honestly, there's nothing more blissful in the summer than spending  a nice day at the beach, rinsing off all the sand and gunk after and then sitting out in the porch with a cold drink while listening to hordes of frogs and cicadas with light shorts and a tee. It literally is a transcending experience that so few can fully appreciate, especially in our more varied climate! 

Rising thermostats, increasingly sticky buns, peepers getting louder by the day, the birds, bees and flora of all types coming to life..what’s not to like about this time of year?

Rumbles!

These rainy weekends have completely thrown me off by two weeks for yard work. 

I look at it a mixed blessing. Gives my back an extra week or two to recover (if at all) and mentally I’ll be more energized when the sun and warmth we expect this time of year fully comes out of hibernation! For now we eat, rest and reminise over the days when the patriots were still relevant.

Clouds with a few sunny breaks(very few) today. 48 but at least could get outside and do some lawn/ shrub stuff. 6 yds of mulch as we move into warm season 

Stay safe out there!

Heavy pingers! Can’t remember the last time I heard sleet this intense coming down at this point in the season..wild stuff

It's been beautiful and will continue to be. 

 

* Dreary, cloudy and unsettled late week into the weekend, with onshore breezes and several periods of rain. Cooler than normal highs and near/above normal lows.

 

* Expecting a widespread soaking moderate rain event Saturday. Another possible period of rain Sunday for eastern coast

For now, we embrace the gloom, then sweat it off as the flies and mosquitoes emerge from muddy piles of doggy doo! A spring for the ages is in the books. The likes of which we’ve never seen before!

More sleet today than we’ve had the entire winter..go figure!

Scotch ?

Beer and a couple huffs of the old peace pipe 

The spring of yore just begun. Hide yo wife and kids and get yo rowboats ready. Al gore is coming out of hiding to say, i told ya so while uncle stein hides under the bed watching his rain gauge slowly fill up with chilly rain drops! Spring in New England is truly a sight to behold.

We're always hoping they stay hungry and load up

Maybe they can work their magic this year and help reverse the beech tree disease that’s been plaguing us the last few years. Stranger things have happened on this realm!
