Here’s my problem with the whole thing. They kept people stranded for 45 minutes and restarted for 3 songs only to dump everyone outside the thunderstorm in the middle of a thunderstorm. Doesn’t make a whole ton of sense if “safety” is the reason.

Funny, same exact thing happened the night before to a different artist.  I even posted ITT (see quote).

Delayed start to set 2.  Three songs in they pull the plug.

Guitarist even says at the end of the clip "I want it on my permanent record:  I didn't want to stop playing.  They're making us stop."

I'm over 5" and you're at least over 3" (still >1" / week).  I'm not sure how much water you want but I wouldn't exactly call us the have nots.

The amount of places now over 10” for the month is pretty insane.  Geographically a very large area.

Y'ain't kidding.

Getting back to music, whatever happened to rock? Seems like Disturbed only ones still sort of kicking it. One of my favs here. Sevendust. 

 

 

There's a band I adore, and have seen 17 times now going back to 2017.  They are a rock band.  They're late 30s early 40s, so grew up on all of that 90s rock.  They do a number of covers of songs like this.  Only thing that makes them less palatable to a larger audience, is they jam.  Their originals sound like they belong in the 90s, but they jam them out.  Not for everyone.

They just did 3 nights at Soundcheck Studios in Pembroke, but tour often in the northeast.

Spafford is their name.

They're a nuisance Tom, Tough to evict once they take up residence.

Two adolescents trapped and relocated yesterday.  Still one adolescent left plus big momma.  Need to get them out and fill their holes before something else takes residence.

Between the May freeze, 'hogs, unrelenting mank this is a brutal year for the gardens.

The entire neighborhood may fall victim to a mudslide. 

I don't enjoy others' suffering but watching him try to spin that into a positive would be so entertaining. 

Can anyone tell me what the severe threat looks like on the Midcoast of Maine tomorrow evening (please)?

Going to a music festival tomorrow night and wondering if they will actually be able to pull it off with the severe threat.

Thanks.

Place the cage right where there coming out and they should walk right in it.

I've got it right at the entrance.  Even blocked off every possible escape route so they HAD to walk right in.  nope.  Wen to the other borrow entrance in my neighbors yard.  Blocking his off now, too.  Watch them dig a new entrance.  

Anyone have any suggestions on how to catch groundhogs? 

I've been able to keep them out of my garden, but they've now made a burrow right up against my foundation under my deck.  I've had havaheart traps out with cantaloupe, lettuce, peapods, and other desirable edibles in various locations over the past month, but the juveniles are too skiddish to bother going in there.

I can't shoot them (residential 'hood).

I don't want to kill them in their borrow (attracting other creatures).

But I need them gone.  I've heard urine, hair, cayenne are all deterrents.  I don't want to deter, I want death (or removal) to know for sure these POS are gone.

It is also a huge environmental disaster. There will be thousands of tons of waste and refuse that needs to be dealt with plus all of the toxins that were washed into the rivers and waterways and deposited elsewhere.

Maybe avoid any seafood sourced from LI sound for awhile.

Just awful.  Stating the obvious here but the recovery efforts are going to be $$$ and last for months.

Vermont's topography and the fact that most towns are settled along the rivers in the valley make it a "perfect" candidate for significant flooding.  The water just has nowhere to go.

And it's not like these are people building new multi-million dollar homes along the floodplains of prime hurricane country.  These are hundreds of years old settlements.  That is to say, you can't fault anyone for the losses they're experiencing.

Up to 6.05". Road into center of town was getting closed off as I was heading back home. DOT guy (or whatever authority, not sure) had just set out cones but was like, yeah, you can try it, good luck! About a foot of water on the road from the river coming over. Made it through with a 3/4 ton pickup, don't recommend anyone do that though. 

Appreciate the updates.  I have family in Henniker, nice to have a(nother) poster from that area.

Cococrisp data shows between 4.5-6.5 in most areas including SE Ma in last 30 days. Prior to that was rain in early June and late May deluge. 

I see whats recently been added to the grocery list.

I think it's mostly a Maine thing. I can definitely feel a difference outside tonight versus the previous several evenings. IZG dp is 66, PWM 64, AUG 66. Getting a lot of marine intrusion, the whole of Androscoggin county was socked in with it all day under low overcast like a May gray or June gloom day in the LA basin. The high is far enough offshore that we're having to deal with these issues now. We probably won't clear out until Wednesday.

Yep, 66/64 with thick fog.  Mid-winter stillness in sound, late spring in sight, and feels like a mid-summer-on-an-island night in Penobscot bay.

That marine puke never went away for inland areas east of here. It's now marching ominously back in like a wall of doom and it's looking like it never goes away at all tomorrow for places on the wrong side of the mountain divide well inland from here.

Today has been much cooler than yesterday due to onshore flow I am guessing, since FIT was stuck with similar overcast conditions for the morning but still managed upper 80s. Upper 70s here, dewpoints still up there though. Going to guess our next chance at sun will be Wednesday, based on similar past events this sludge will be slow to budge.

 

Still managed 81F here somehow despite the marine puke

What's the proper age for a youngin' to visit Storyland for the 1st time?

We went with my 1 & 3 year old nephews last summer.  The 1/3 did fine, but keep your expectations in check for how long you'll actually make it into the day.  I think my kids were probably 2 and 4 the first time we went.  

I'd say the ages we enjoyed it the most was when the kids were between 5 and 8, as they could ride all rides (plus no nap/stroller)

I wonder if there's some terrain/orographic lift influence (either in reality or with that algorithm) as that steep increase in total from Somers to Stafford follows the elevation gain, right along 190 there.

I do.  They're currently jumping on the trampoline in a downpour.  Weenies in training.
