    I've always been jealous of the inter-mountain west summer climate.  Some of those ski towns see stuff like highs well in the 80s and lows in the 35-45F range for like 2-3 months straight.

    Just looking at the extended forecast for say Steamboat, CO reveals days like we just experienced here in New England on repeat.  Highs of 79-85F and lows of 43-48F for days and days...with zero clouds.

     

     Jackson Hole in late summer is hard to beat .

    That’s a northern water snake. We had one in our basement when I was younger when someone left the basement door open... it was nearly 6 feet long and fat

    As N. sipedon ages, the color darkens, and the pattern becomes obscure. Some individuals will become almost completely black. The belly also varies in color. It can be white, yellow, or gray. 

    Must be an old one I've never seen one that dark .

    Nice!  I love that hike and it's the best lake in VT in my opinion.  

    Unfortunately it sounds like it was a crappy day everywhere, not only VT ;)

    Yeah but the lake was cool, clean and relatively bug-free for an after hike swim. If only we had oppressive dew points!

    It's still 70s at 8pm... this time of year with the long daylight it's really only chilly when you are actually sleeping, like 12a-4a.  

    But just to get this right, you want high heat and dews so you can enjoy the outdoors after 8pm?  Why not just enjoy it during the actual day?

    There's no doubt in my mind if I polled everyone at the mountain today enjoying outdoor activities that today's weather would rank near perfection for them.

    Crappy day in VT I hardly worked up a sweat :)

    I contacted Lyme in 1994, it was virtually unknown. I was afflicted by the Babesiosis strain spending 3 days in the fetal position unable to move with a fever of 105. Seriously thought it was over. 2 teenage kids died while I was in South County hospital from the same. I again contacted regular Lyme the next year unknown to me, I thought I had the flu. It passed and I went on with my life. The next summer I developed joint pain so bad I sought help. Luckily for me one of the first Drs to correctly diagnose Lyme treated me. He immediately put me on Doxcycline with a port for regular treatments for 90 days. Gradually I got better but never fully recovered from the arthritis.  Never forget at the time Drs were ostracized by CDC and the medical community for diagnosing Lyme. The govt developed Lyme as a biological weapon at their Fishers Island Plum Island secret animal disease test facility.  The first cases were detected directly across from Plum Island in Lyme Ct. One of the greatest undercover secrets. 

    I have had Lyme three times (work outside). First time was a little nasty since I didn't know what was going on and let it fester. Subsequent cases I spotted the bulls-eyes quickly, trip to the clinic, Doxycycline and good to go. Ten years ago, I suspected a case of Lyme coming on but no bulls-eye so I figured flu.  Went to bed as soon as got home. Chills, sweats, hallucinations, I literally could not turn my head.  GF wanted to take me to the hospital but I insisted I could drive myself.  Hospital is three miles away and I got lost!   Lived in the neighborhood for 20yrs.  Anyway, temperature of 106 and dangerously low white blood count - Anaplasmosis.

    At that time the chances of contracting Anaplasmosis were literally one in a million. I had the CDC and Boston Department of Health calling and asking all sorts of questions :)

    May June 2006 May take the cake for wet. Much of area 20-28” those two months. 

    For sure but I'm willing to bet the water table is higher now. Any little half inch rainstorm causes stream flooding. In 2006 I'm guessing there was a lot of runoff because we received the rain in a relatively short. Of time.

    last 12 months could be close to top 5 in terms of rain in the area.. at least in Boston

    It's funny how that doesn't get much attention?. Just Southwest of Boston it's even worse. I'm an old dude and I never remember it this wet.

    Local farmers suffering from the cold and wet spring and early summer. Apparently they were led to believe it was going to be non- stop heat and humidity beginning in March and planted accordingly. Where would they get that crazy idea?

    To all of our customers:

    Do to the weather conditions PICK YOUR OWN STRAWBERRIES FOR THE 2019 SEASON WILL BE CLOSED. This is because our crop has suffered weather damage. We will have some strawberries for our farm stand and CSA customers. However because the picking conditions are not going to be favorable we have decided to close PYO strawberries. We are anticipating strawberries be available in our farm stand mid week next week. We will try and keep this site updated as much as we can. Our Strawberry Festival has been postponed till the 22nd and 23rd on that weekend we will have activities and strawberries in the farm stand but there will be NO PYO.  Sorry hopefully next year will be better!

    The good news is the cold, wet start to summer "seems" to be doing a number on the gypsy moths. How are other folks fairing?

    "Mr. Gooch said it is too early to tell whether the fungus that is known to kill the moths, Entomophaga maimaiga, is to be credited for dead gypsy moths in spring 2019 — other factors could be in play. The cool, wet weather prevented some of the moth hatchlings from feeding, leading them to starve to death, while others could have been eaten by various insects.

    “There are certain areas I’ve been watching and they’ve hatched and they just did not move off the egg mass because it got cold,” he said. “We had a couple of days where it was down in the low 30s after they hatched. Normally, it’s a lot warmer.”
