Wish we lived there. One day of cool amidst a sea of reds 

A pleasant afternoon or two and then back to fall.

I don't know if I've ever interacted with CT Blizz before... he seems to be the Ji of this subforum.

You are in for a treat.

Semantics.  Pulling off a +20 like you're talking about would take some obscene daily high and low. right now.  We'd be talking record heat levels to pull off.  Show me some charts that have hill towns pulling off a 90F high and 65F low in the next couple weeks..

Please try and be precise. Folks come here for accurate weather information. Last thing we need is someone throwing around numbers they've pulled from their ass.

I just want a frost to kill the EEE skeeters. Then we can go back to 80's afterwards. 

And take the bees with them.

70s is fine, but 80s in September is like summer’s bad  morning after hangover breathe lying Around. Time to rinse with Listerine. 

Bring it on I'll take it until November.

That’s 90s verbatim. Not saying it will happen verbatim, but return of the torch.

You're excused you've been away.

Everyone’s charts are an absolute furnace for time of year. Just when we want colder wx.. endless summer hits.

 

And this week we were supposed to see the 90s. Toss...

I saw a nasty yellowjacket nest at work. It’s like 5 in and out every second.

Those are the killers. Probably thousands. Somehow avoided a hurtin' yesterday after I got into this one. They have to taxi before entering.

Let's get a hard freeze in here soon. The effing bees are driving me nuts.

It's getting worse Dropped two trees on yellow jacket nests yesterday. Off to the races...

"This season's been perfect weather for them. Stable high temperatures. Very little rain. The rain's been at the end of the day or overnight when they're not really working anyway," said Russell.

Basically, Russell says most days have been great work days for yellow jackets.

"This time of year, nest population is very high. You're talking three to 500 individuals in a nest. We're talking very, very aggressive," stated Russell.

A common myth: when the nights get cooler, days get shorter, and yellow jackets get a bit crazed.

"That's an easy thing to tie it to, 'Oh, the season is getting shorter and they're getting nervous'. No, no. The number of bees has just escalated so high. There's so much more activity, that it just seems like they're more anxious, but there's just more of them," noted Russell.

Doing the dew here. 

Just brutal.

Yes, a family member is a nurse and said something similar. It also doesn’t help that the symptoms at least initially could be just about anything, so people have a fever and there mind instantly goes to that mosquito bite they got a few days ago.

It definitely makes you think twice about being outside at peak times even though it’s quite rare. The reality is if you get it, the outcomes more than likely aren’t pleasant, even if you survive 

  Not much sense  going to the doctor . If you get it you're pretty much toast .

The EEE outbreak is making me dread every mosquito bite I get.

It's got me spooked . I work in a hardwood forest eight hours a day  . I've never worn bug spray . I bathe in it now.

Definitely tough being a tree today. On my property I have a 12 foot in circumference elm tree that somehow managed to escape Dutch elm. The Gypsy Moths killed it last year ☹️

Dutch elm disease? The big ash killer is the emerald ash borer.

Mostly Ash yellows this far north.

That 94 probably isn't gonna happen. It's only happened that late in the season twice (9/22/1970, 9/20/1983) at BDL, has never happened at PVD, BDR, and ORH, although BOS has six occurrences (1881, 1895, 1914, and 1983). 

Take the under.

Chilly with a breeze and in the 50s last night.  Looks like we torch Wednesday and then euro op suggests record warmth next week lol. 

A couple days in the low eighties would be nice!

Let's get a hard freeze in here soon. The effing bees are driving me nuts.

Another cool night.  When is the September torch supposed to begin again?

Very disappointing. And it wasn't only hype boy talking about it.

First sunrise of the last unofficial day of summer 2019.

Labor Day of Yore.  

56F and 1.41” of rain up here at the ski resort.  

That looks like a whole lot of suck to me.

I found DIT

"Some hobbyists have been following Dorian practically since it formed about 800 miles southeast of Barbados on Aug. 24, when it was a nameless tropical depression. In the absence of a surefire track for the storm, some amateur forecasters are sharing misleading information online, sometimes by posting an especially severe model as if it were a definitive prediction. The pros have a nickname for the posters: social mediarologist. And they can lead other viewers to then complain to local forecasters, many of whom see responding to their audience as part of their job description."
