yeah, just haven't gotten that far yet. Kinda hoping just for a stiff breeze. Thank you.

No, I don't have a chainsaw but I will likely get one at some point as I do have over 6 acres of woods. When we lived in Peacham I had friends with chainsaws which is almost as good.

So about 5:30 I was finishing up my cleanout of the garage (a lovely weekend to be doing that might I add) when I took some wood out to put on the woodpile. When I did this I discovered that a pretty large maple had broken at the base as was not on top of our two cars only because it was snagged up above on another maple. Instead of going inside and cleaning up, I moved the cars and spent the next two plus hours working on bringing the tree the rest of the way down with an axe. Sadly things were slowed by my axe handle breaking and my constantly being swarmed by bugs. Good times. Tree is still up, waiting for a decent breeze or a fixed axe. I was making good progress with a crow bar to get rid of rotten bits. Sadly we are about to get a 7-10 split with the line of storms racing through as I think they would have done the trick. 96 topped things off at KLEB and 95 at BTV. We are back to a humid 73. I doubt we hit 90 here because as soon as the sun went behind the trees at 4ish we went from 97 to 84 in a span of 5 minutes. yes my sensor is in the pm sun for a couple of hours.

96/65 at KLEB

94/66 in KLEB

KLEB?

Only 11 weeks until we get snow, you can make it.

Comet viewing cancelled here. Too cloudy. Plus I don't want to stay up that late.

I was in Peacham that season. We ended up with 41" and the largest was on 12/29 with 5.5 inches. The breakdown was: 2015-16 Biggest 12/29 5.5 first, 10/17 last 5/16 Oct- .5 Nov. .5 Dec 7.0 Jan 11.0 Feb: 13.4 Mch 3.7 Apr 4.7 May .2 Total: 41.0 The other years in Peacham where I tracked seasonal totals were: 2011-12 76.0 2012-13 102.2 2013-2014 total 105.0 2014-15- Total: 111.6

Was it visible with the naked eye or did you use binoculars?

This inspired me to lookup the hottest rain event as I had a memory of it being set a couple of years ago. 119F in Imperial Valley. Dew at the time was only 58. https://www.wunderground.com/cat6/Hottest-Rain-Record-Rain-falls-119F-Imperial-California This article says highest recorded dew was 95 in 2003 in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia. https://wgntv.com/weather/weather-blog/ask-tom-why/what-are-the-highest-dew-points-worldwide-and-for-the-u-s/ It was supposedly 108 at the time, for a heat index of 178! https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/capital-weather-gang/wp/2015/07/30/iran-city-hits-suffocating-heat-index-of-154-degrees-near-world-record/ Back in 95, Appleton WI was 101/90 for a heat index of 148.i https://www.wunderground.com/blog/weatherhistorian/record-dew-point-temperatures.html I

Is that some weird new mulch?

Wife called, we have some water in the basement. Drought to mushrooms.

Consider parts of the Champlain Valley as it does not retain snow compared to the rest of Vermont. You can observe this for a bit as you visit your daughter.

A bunch of flash flood warnings were issued early this morning and it has just kept raining up there since: https://forecast.weather.gov/wwamap/wwatxtget.php?cwa=gyx&wwa=flash flood warning

Looks to be massive amounts of rain falling in the Ct Valley north of me up towards Newbury Vt/ Woodsville NH area.

They blew up right near me. I started hearing thunder around 3:30. So they are very slow moving. Some good rain here but the heaviest was to my east. Gray has put out a flood advisory for much of western NH because of them.

Trees would indicate it is at least a few months old

Just an update to say this verified 100%! Looking forward Euro continues to not be optimistic about our snow chances and run to run consistency has been high in this regard.

Next year he will rip up the lawn and plant corn to microclimate his dews.

Facebook. someone has a relative in the Delmarva who was forecast to get up to 4 inches or hears the Weather Channel say that some places may get up to 4 inches. They take it to mean that they to will get 4 inches and posts that as if it is expected. People then run with it without verifying. Same reason a forecast of 4 to 8 inches of snow with lollis to 10 inches turns into a mass believing they will be getting close to a foot then "we are supposed to get a foot".

Don't worry, after this summer you won't hit 85 again there for a decade.

You dew dreams may actually come true:

To install- or not to install, that is the question: Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer The sweats and mold of outrageous dews, Or to take arms against a sea of humidity And by opposing end it. To pass out from heat—to sleep, No more; and by a sleep to say we end The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks That flesh is heir to: 'tis a consummation Devoutly to be wish'd. To pass out, to sleep; To sleep, perchance to lie sweating on the sheets—ay, there's the rub: For in that sleep of dews what dreams may come, When we have sweated off this mortal coil, Must give us pause—there's the respect That makes calamity of so long life. For who would bear the chafing and stink of dews, Th'oppressor's wrong, the proud man's contumely, The pangs of dispritz'd love, the AC's delay, The insolence of central air, and the spurns That patient merit of th'unworthy takes, When he himself might his quietus make With a bare bodkin? Who would window unit bear, To grunt and lift from the basement for a weary wife, But that the dread of something after FROPA, The undiscovere'd country, from whose frosty air No traveller returns without 14 day quarantine, puzzles the will, And makes us rather bear those ills we have Than fly to others that we know not of? Thus sore back does make cowards of us all, And thus the native hue of resolution Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of heat exhaustion, And enterprises of great pitch and moment With this regard their currents turn awry And lose the name of action.
