  1. 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
  2. Is that some weird new mulch?
  3. Wife called, we have some water in the basement. Drought to mushrooms.
  4. 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.
  5. 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
  6. Looks to be massive amounts of rain falling in the Ct Valley north of me up towards Newbury Vt/ Woodsville NH area.
  7. 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.
  8. Trees would indicate it is at least a few months old
  9. 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.
  10. Next year he will rip up the lawn and plant corn to microclimate his dews.
  11. You dew dreams may actually come true:
  12. 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.
  13. Gee I wonder where the river valleys are?
  14. Our first golden used to swim to the outside of people to force them back towards the shore. Sadly he would also swim right at people "to rescue them" and just paw them up. His instincts were good even if the execution was lacking. As a follow up to last evening's storm: on my drive in today there were a large number of big sized branches down and a couple of small split trees about two or three miles up the road from our house. So while we had little wind, it was close.
  15. I opened the windows after the storm passed. Wife and kid have started closing them because they are getting too cold. Its a shame I haven't installed.
  16. A pretty good drink and a bit of lightning and thunder but nothing severe but I won't have to water the plants tonight or tomorrow!
  17. nasty looking storm just starting here
  18. I am rooting for every day through August to be 80/50 with a light breeze and sunshine with a frontal passage every third night which brings us steady rain from 11pm to 3 am which leaves a total of .6 inches of rain. I may be too specific in my hopes for it to be realized however.
  19. 2 days of sleeping in until the dog wakes me about 7:30 surrounded by days of unrelenting alarms going off at 5:05.
  20. looks like there will be some massive rainfall totals from the Philly area. It keeps building right over them. https://forecast.weather.gov/showsigwx.php?warnzone=PAZ071&warncounty=PAC101&firewxzone=PAZ071&local_place1=Philadelphia PA&product1=Flash+Flood+Warning&lat=39.9522&lon=-75.1622#.XwN1zyhKhPY https://forecast.weather.gov/showsigwx.php?warnzone=PAZ071&warncounty=PAC101&firewxzone=PAZ071&local_place1=Philadelphia PA&product1=Severe+Thunderstorm+Warning&lat=39.9522&lon=-75.1622#.XwN2RChKhPY 244 PM EDT Mon Jul 6 2020 ...THE FLASH FLOOD WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 515 PM EDT FOR NORTHWESTERN CAMDEN...NORTHWESTERN BURLINGTON...SOUTHEASTERN MONTGOMERY...SOUTHEASTERN BUCKS...PHILADELPHIA AND NORTHEASTERN DELAWARE COUNTIES... At 242 PM EDT, law enforcement reported heavy rain continuing in the Philadelphia metropolitan area. Law enforcement reports several water rescues in the northern Philadelphia area and adjacent portions of Montgomery and Bucks Counties. Frankford Creek has reached moderate flood stage. This is a very dangerous situation. Flash flooding is already occurring.
  21. 86/46 At KLEB with a nice 25% humidity.
  22. i don't know who will see them but millenials will blame them for just about everything.
  23. Well we have also been socked in the clouds east of the Greens for most of the day.
  24. There are a lot of home break-ins in NNE, esp off-season, even in the most remote locations. Camps and second homes are frequently hit. Homes will also often be hit during the day when people are at work. One technique is for the would be burglars to go to the house and knock. If there is no answer they find a way in, if there is an answer they will ask for directions or if that is where so and so lives and then leave. Game cams and other camera systems are being used more frequently in the area. I know of at least two cases from late last year where the out of state home owner was alerted to movement in the house by a camera alerting their cell phone and called the police. When I lived in Peacham, I was always amazed that there were not even more break-in because some of the houses were clearly empty in winter. The lack of any plowing made it clear no one was there.
