Someone likely stole his rain.

A Massachusetts man who allegedly threatened people at a trail hut in Bethlehem, N.H., on Saturday was arrested after he was reportedly found naked on the hut’s roof, officials said.

Charges are pending for Brian Cheverier, 35, of Boylston, New Hampshire Fish and Game said in a statement Monday. No hikers were injured during the incident.

Fish and Game officials were informed of a hiker who was threatening people at the Appalachian Mountain Club’s Zealand Falls Hut in Bethlehem at about 5:50 p.m., the statement said.

Conservation officers, along with an officer from the US Forest Service hiked 2.7 miles to the hut and “discovered an agitated naked male on the roof,” Fish and Game said."

Gotta draw from the New Haven data, as I don't track it myself. June was 2.3, July was 0.9, August is 0.9 to date. I'm confident I'm running behind New Haven though. There have been a few measurable events downtown that missed my hood this month. It's starting to remind me of 2016 in Boston around here.

It's very similar. Little if any water in the ponds and marshes on my property. I've been finding turtles in upland areas. Same thing happened in 2016.

First day of the club championship today. Started off terrible, an 8 and a 6. Reeled it back in to shoot a 90 but it could have been an 87 or 88 if I had made some makeable putts. Hit the ball well and putted well, in general. Just had 2 - 3 really holes. Hopefully I can do better tomorrow. 

So how did you finish up?

Lipstick on a pig

Might be a pretty hot pig.

The reason the colors are vibrant in the fall, particularly the reds, is because of anthocyanin compounds in the leaves, noted Mass Audubon conservation scientist Joshua Rapp, describing how the anthocyanin act as sunscreen for the plant. “So if it’s really sunny, the tree needs more anthocyanin to protect itself from the sun, which can help make the colors more vibrant in the fall,” he said.

Good!

"But not all hope is lost for this year’s colors, said foliage expert Jim Salge, who pens an annual forecast in Yankee Magazine. While droughts make the leaves turn earlier and quicker, “counterintuitively, it can create a really brief but bright and vibrant season,” Salge said

Speaking of damage, check out the derecho in Italy the other day. Wow.

 

Pretty cool but my all-time favorite is still that one from a couple years ago maybe in the Dakotas? Stationary camera looking across the street. Someone posted it here before. Trees getting uprooted.

Lots of warm temps this summer. Thankfully dews were relatively low minus that 1-2 week stretch. 

The low dews have been remarkable this summer. Best ever...

The Yellow maples started browning/ dying out the last couple days .

Likely the cold.

Summer has really lost its bite. Even on torch days.

Yikes. Folks were probably more worried about rising sea levels.

Damage in mattapoisett

A massive fire at a boatyard in Mattapoisett reached five alarms Friday afternoon, according to fire officials.

Aerial video footage from WCVB-TV showed multiple buildings, boats, and cars engulfed in flames..

Outside of the lack of rain...been fantastic.

Could be the best ever? I'm sure Will could find a comparable.

Another beauty! Not much to complain about this summer.

76/53 don't touch the thermostat...

White mountains got a nice drink. Looks like 3/4 of an inch in most spots.

Yeah most areas have been bad looking through the SNE numbers now on Cocorahs and wunderground PWS.  But Taunton this month is a little relative oasis it looks like.  I see why DIT has been harping them lol. 

Don't get me started on that crew.
