Almost as crazy as a white guy in Norway who is rampantly tweeting about how little actual racism there is in the US. I'm glad Jan Fredrik Drablos is there to educate us (yeah that is sarcasm). Cool video though.

34 here. We brought in all the outside plants and fortunately held off on planting things in the ground over the weekend. Three of the rooms look like a greenhouse at the moment with so many seed trays and terracotta pots in them.

Avocado and lemon trees came back in the house here too.

Most noticeable effect in VT will frequently be people's home wells running dry. If I remember right this was a big issue in parts of Vermont 2 summers ago. In late 90's my town at the time would have to resort to secondary ponds in dry times leading to boil water notices for people on town systems. Here are a couple of articles: https://vtdigger.org/2018/10/11/drought-continues-plague-northern-vermont-leaving-farms-wells-dry/ https://vtdigger.org/2018/09/23/drought-takes-toll-wells-northern-half-state/ map from time:

Down to 84 out. Was outside for a few minutes and the house felt like an AC was on when I came back in. Glad the dews are not too bad yet.

97F now down from a high of 108 about ten minutes ago. The thermometer may or may not get some direct afternoon sun before the trees on the steep hill behind the house put it into shade.

Almost as tall as the pollen piles of Tolland!

storms popping over the central Greens now, Whites too from the looks of it.

Live free or die. Worst I have ever had it was the summer of 03. We were living in W. Warwick RI at the time. The neighborhood sounded almost like a warzone on July 4. The dogs were manic. Making it hard to understand was that we lived about 4 blocks from the Station Nightclub and the fire had just been about 4 months earlier. Only having one neighbor within a half a mile has lessened this issue.

Another day, another collection of photos by greenmtnwx of people pointing their butts at him by a river.

Any power outages? Big big Spring incoming!

"No honey, I swear I was taking a picture of the waterfall. The interplay of the water and granite is really quite striking."

Back down to 73f after hitting 102 earlier. (okay the thermometer may get a bit of mid-afternoon sun)

KLEB at 87 at the last hour

Dews at KLEB are up to 49. I should have installed yesterday before this oppressive sticky heat hit.

That is such a cool graphic!

KLEB with 84/29 and 13% at 15:53 https://w1.weather.gov/data/obhistory/KLEB.html

66 already off of a low of 39. Big big COC incoming!

"What does mine say?"

As SNE finally sees a form of accumulation in 2020

The tree grew from a seed which I took from an avocado I had eaten. I started it at the office and had it there for two or three years until I brought it home last fall. It is probably about 3 feet high at this point with lots of good growth. It has never been outside and sits in a west facing window but rarely has ever gotten direct sun. Our house only has one south facing window and that is for the Lemon trees.

Do you have a routine you use to harden the avocados off to go outside? I have one which is about 3 years old that I have been growing inside but I would like to transition it outside for the summer. I assume low light (no afternoon sun ) and wind during daytime at first, bring back in at night, etc. Increase exposure. Is this your approach or have you used some other way.
