  1. I misread this at first as "I've always loved Kevin's poetry" and quickly thought of "Ode to Dews," "A Few Lines Above a Downed Eversource Line" and "To Fescue my love" His classic remains: "I went out in the mornings dews To escape the suppression news My sweet sweet lawn Looks most lovely by the soft light of dawn But an Eversource line was down Laying near my remaining straight edged snow mound the 'lectricity sizzled and fried My poor fescue till it died revealing a brown straight streak like a turd left by a bruin in the land of Powderfreak." I am jealous as Kev's lawn when fried still looks better than mine at its best.
  2. Do you have any problems with the water from the downspout of the gutter running off into the pool?
  3. Nice crisp 48f to start the day this morning. (that was the temp at 5:45am, I didn't bother to look if it was cooler before that) Felt nice walking around the garden.
  4. 50 at the house this morning was a nice way to wake up. I just got caught in a downpour walking back through town- first time wearing this suit too. Fortunately I had a spare suit and an emergency shirt at the office.
  5. Looking at your Nest cam, it looks as if the land slopes down and away from you. Is that correct? If so that would allow the colder air to drain away from you as the night settles in. We have had a similar temp pattern at our current house and the last one as well,
  6. Can you see all the way south to Shaftsbury, VT?
  7. Nice to see you other "back broken" folks joining the party.
  8. Well that is quite the line of storms firing up in NY
  9. 70 here after an evening shower. No need to turn on the heat tonight..
  10. "They said brunch started at 7 am but why is there no sign of the omelet station?"
  11. This bear on the porch at the Mount Washington Hotel is one of the greatest photos I have seen in recent years. It was last year or the year before.
  12. Do you get moths and other bugs attracted to the screen?
  13. You may want to not tell folks or else the dew chasers will descend on your location.
  14. My memory is that years ago (80s or early 90s) a small town in Southern New Jersey claimed to have recorded 25 inches in 5 hours when a Tstorm just sat over it. I have been unable to have found any mention of it when I have searched so my memory could be wrong. Edit: Weather.com claims NJ record is 14.8 inches in 24 hours so it could be the report was wrong, never verified, or my memory is off or all three. https://weather.com/news/climate/news/extreme-rainfall-precipitation-recorded-50-states
  15. Nice ten minute downpour just now. Grass very happy. Weeds happier.
  16. About 2/3 of an inch here based on the two closest stations. Kinda humid now, dew is 65 which feels sticky after the past few days.
  17. I would assume that at this point the hotel would include the expected $600 fee in the contract for the event, if they were not already doing so. If customer doesn't agree to pay the fee, no event.
  18. Then there is the wind to consider. When we lived in Peacham, the coldest night we had was right after a frontal passage and the wind was up. It prevented the cold air just sinking below us like it would on calm nights. We quickly got to about to -28. On a calm morning, we would often be 7 to 10f warmer than just half mile away where the elevation flattened out about 300' lower than our house. So many variables. edit: and so many typos
  19. For those of you concerned by the cool morning, rest assured that the Euro and GFS are in agreement of no snow the next 10 days. While I have not tracked the GFS performance in this regard, Euro was dead on re July snowfall. It is on a roll!
  20. Something like this? https://www.harborfreight.com/4375-watt-max-starting-extra-long-life-gas-powered-generator-epa-iii-63962.html
  21. Probably off base but are they moths with wings closed?
  22. Part of the issue could have been where to send and what the needs would be in surrounding states. There was a fair amount of uncertainty about how this would all play out and where the biggest needs would be.
  23. Green Mountain Power in Vermont is down to 223 customers without power. Hopefully they can help with restoration for folks down south. https://outages.greenmountainpower.com/
  24. I have no idea which way it has to be flipped as I am almost always using a camera. Such is life in areas with very spotty cell coverage. It seems to me as long as the lens faces towards what you want to capture that the upsidedown issue auto corrects later.
