    Check out Sturgill Simpson, Blackberry Smoke and Tyler Childers.  Killer alt-country.

    Hope sturgill Simpson comes to the area I think he's the best of the bunch.. I've seen blackberry smoke with government mule. Encore was Warren Haynes and the dude from blackberry smoke doing "can't you see". It rocked...

    It's definitely juiced.  It would look good as a photo in that lakehouse though, that's for sure.

    We had some undercast this morning with the peaks poking out of the clouds, similar to a mid-winter level of undercast.  The top of the cloud layer was around 3,000-3,500ft early.  That's normally reserved for like December trapped moisture.

    Finally the sun is coming out here for the first time since Friday.  Incredible low cloud period which means we are in fall... a lot less mixing than we got 6 weeks ago.

    I hate when people do that it cheapens the photo. Doesn't look real anymore.

  3. Cutting up a tree today and caught a huge kettle of migrating raptors. By the time I grabbed my camera they had hit an updraft and were gone . Must have been hundreds...
     

    Q: What makes a group of hawks a “kettle?” — Clair Van Buren, Bloomington, Indiana

    A: Hawks and other raptors migrate during the day. As the sun heats the ground, warm air rises from the earth. Certain geographic features, including natural topography or human-built areas, can vary the rate and location of heating, creating columns of warm, ascending air. Birds can enter these updrafts, and by flying or soaring in a circle within the column, they can be lifted high into the sky. As the birds reach a height where the column dissipates because it meets increasingly cooler air, they can simply set their wings and glide down into another thermal in the direction they are headed. Using this method, the birds can travel quite far while conserving energy, as it takes far less effort than constant flapping.

    45.2 was the low. Leaves finally going to town changing this week. 2-3 weeks late north to south 

    By the second week in October, many parts of Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut will reach peak color. If you're late to leaf peeping activities this year, that's OK, because color is expected to withstand throughout October and even into early November for some areas.
