    Golf course noticeably burnt tonight. Played like St. Andrews.

    I last played golf about 20 years ago.  I played a round at St. Andrews that day with some local kids from the university.  They were all good, I was not.  By the 15th hole, to be able to finish the round I had to buy some balls from some local kids who were fishing them out of a pond.  I had lost all the others into the gorse, the ocean, or who knows where.  I wonderful experience nonetheless.

    Dendrite - hopefully  this article is about no one you know.

    NORTHFIELD, N.H. (WCAX) - Authorities in New Hampshire are investigating the deaths of three people, two of them children.

    We have very few details at this time, but we know it happened at a residence in Northfield, New Hampshire, and it involves an adult woman and two juveniles.

    Police are calling their deaths suspicious.

    Just got a nice cut on my chin.  Is it a cool story that I can tell if anyone ever asks me "how did you get that scar?" 

    No! I was moving the frame for a day bed that we recently picked up.  While I was moving the trundle portion I somehow triggered the release which springs the trundle out.  It was vertical at the time so an iron bar on the frame was a couple of inches from my face.  Boom.  I have no idea how I still have all my teeth.

    So how did you get that third concussion?  Sports?  bear attack?  break up a theft?  nope- trundle bed attacked me in my garage.

    @powderfreak or any of you other Vermonters out there...

    Are you familiar with this place? I'm considering getting some trees from him and may make the ride up this weekend. It's right next to MPV.

    I hadn't come across them before.  We have gotten things from Evergreen Gardens in Waterbury/Stowe and East Hill Farm in Plainfield in that general area.

    My point is it's in the same ballpark of extreme heat and isn't quite like what the Pac NW had a year or two ago...I lose track of years now since they go by so fast. :lol:

    An all-time record is an all-time record is an all-time record. I'm not downplaying it nor questioning the climate change factor. They've done 100F more than us now over the last decade.

    And until 2015 London had never hit 98 in July:

    I appreciate and love the photos that members post here.  Unfortunately in most cases they have been shrunk down to a size that makes them not look great if you want to use them for a wallpaper/desktop picture on a computer, tablet, or phone.  I thought it might be a good idea to create a shared Google Drive as a repository to post the full size versions of the photos we're seeing here, for those willing to share.  I've already set it up (you get 15GB of storage for free from Google), but wanted to see how others in the forum felt about this.

    Here's the link to the shared folder on Google Drive:

    https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1fn4cL9VTB1viOiTYA2-BlsTsxZEzeHIJ?usp=sharing

    If members decide that they want to participate, maybe we can create a thread dedicated to photos, or something like that.  What I'm looking forward to is being able to use some of these beautiful photos on my desktop as I stare all day at my computer 6 days a week, and hopefully share some of my own as well.

    Thoughts?

    great idea

    BTV about Thursday, bolded bit caught my eye:

    https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?site=BTV&issuedby=BTV&product=AFD&format=CI&version=1&glossary=1 

    The main focus of the long term period remains for Thursday. All
ensemble data suggests potential for impactful weather, including
thunderstorms capable of torrential rainfall and possibly damaging
wind. The low pressure system passing to our northwest looks to be
the deepest to pass over this region during the 1979 to 2009
climatology for the July 11 - August 1 period, which suggests very
large height falls that will steepen lapse rates and produce
widespread thunderstorms that could tap into strong winds aloft. On
Thursday afternoon, heavy rain potential is shown through PWATs in
excess of 2 standard deviations above the climatological mean,
MUCAPE in excess of 500 J/kg. The deepest moisture looks to push to
our east ahead of the actual cold front, when potential for
organized thunderstorms should peak. Probabilities of moderate (1000
J/kg) to high SBCAPE (> 2000 J/kg) are greatest in Vermont based on
the most likely timing of the cold front. At the same time, the
pressure gradient over the region and uniform southwesterly flow
will produce impressive winds in the St. Lawrence Valley where the
channeling supports enhanced non-thunderstorm gusts potentially
in the 30 to 40 MPH range during the afternoon.

    There’s guys in this thread that have posted it’s been cold . Someone or two used their heat in NNE

    It was upper 40s here this morning.  The windows open over night meant I broke out a fleece and a ski cap at breakfast this morning.

    Still amazes me how many treat Fenway like it’s some kind of ridiculous sacred shrine. Dan Shaughnessy once called it “a lyrical bandbox” What a load of baloney. Build a newer/modern/more comfortable facility already. 

    Years ago when the Sox were considering moving into a new facility and the Expos were leaving Montreal, I thought a reasonable solution would be to move the Expos to Boston and have them play in Fenway while the Sox move into larger state-of-art facility.  Expos likely would not have carved away too much of the Sox fanbase and still draw better than they did up north.

    191 days until winter 

    Maybe sooner per Burlington AFD (love when they add humor):

    https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?site=BTV&issuedby=BTV&product=AFD&format=CI&version=1&glossary=1 

    Models are coming into much better agreement as we
head into the weekend with a deep upper level low diving south
across the northeastern US. Did someone say June snow? Just kidding
but it does appear we could see 850 mb temperatures drop to 1-2
degrees C at the higher summits yielding a few cold rain showers.
The weekend appears to be highlighted by well below normal
temperatures with highs likely struggling to reach 70 degrees even
in the deeper valleys. By Monday, the forecast is really up in the
air as it looks like an omega block will develop with good upstream
blocking across the northern Atlantic. This will likely favor us
remaining entrenched in the upper level low with below normal
temperatures continuing into the first half of next week.

    Some great sunsets can be seen from Race Point and, even more so, Herring Cove Beach (closer to town).  Have a wonderful trip and congratulaitons.
