Way too much focusing in our backyard and not the larger climate picture. Tell Western Europe right now that people want hot summers more than normal summers. There is a reason why San Diego is often thought of as the perfect climate, and it isn’t because of hot summers…

We just got back from a trip to Portugal, Spain, and the UK. All I can say is they have had a very long, hot, and incredibly dry summer. The leaves in London are all falling from the lack of rain and the grass is all burnt out. When we were in London it was their first "cool" shot of the whole summer, but moisture starved front, so no rain. It felt like October the first night we were there, but looked like it even more with so many leaves on the ground. We did not see one cloud the whole time we were in Portugal and Spain though. Weather was hot hot hot, especially in Spain. Great trip overall though. Really incredible places. Now hopefully we can maybe dry out just a bit...

My background is in ticks, and you are right that the white-footed mice spread them the most along with chipmunks. This is why you NEVER want to sit on a rock wall in or near the woods. The mice nest in them, and they are loaded with larval ticks, which molt into nymphs. The nymphs, because of their size, are the ones most likely to transmit Lyme. The deer are the singles bar for the ticks. The adult females feed on them, and the male ticks move from female to female to mate (gigitty gigitty as Quagmire would say). The males don't really even care about a blood meal, just mating. Such is life.

This has been an absolutely bizarre stretch. A few days of well above normal temperatures followed by severe storms followed by well below normal temperatures before moderating back to normal. Rinse and repeat.

Pawling and Patterson got obliterated last night. No power here. The CVS had lines blow onto the roof and the entire building burned to the ground. Things are pretty rough up here after last night. Take a look at some of the photos from Pawling especially.

There were huge storms from pawling north today. Lots of damaging hail and wind. Just south of 84 and nothing. Huge difference.

Definitely not reaching 90 up here today. Currently 81 and deeply overcast but humid. Thankfully we’ll take it since we had baseball today.

Pretty calm weather next few days; however, this is one of the worst tick years in a while. Our lab is routinely seeing near record/record numbers during our routine sampling. Take precautions out there and learn all the moles on your skin! If it has legs it isn’t a mole!

Our orchards are really got hit the other night. Many think they lost of 60% of the crop this year thanks to that hard freeze. It could be a really bad year for them since the blossoms all came out earlier with the heat, now this week… It is time to warm up now. How about we just get some seasonable weather for more than a day? No heat nor air conditioning needed for a bit? How about it Mother Nature?

I hope so too. We were lucky to go last year too and it was so much fun. Either way, you are going to love it! Looks like the rain might move out by game time!

This is really impressive after the heat of last week. Not too often do you have highs in the 90s followed so close to freezing temps.

Of course it does. I am going to the Savannah Bananas on Sunday. We can’t have nice weather for that…

It wasn't spring... That was winter. And the 14th/15th were not warm up here (+1.7 and -2.1), so average weekend. I loved it, skiing all day in the Catskills where it was snowing. But now that we are in spring, we will have the cold, wet weekend pattern because Little League is starting up
-
It has been, just not on the weekends haha. Like today going to the upper 60s low 70s for the next few days. Welcome back to the work week!

That is how you know it is spring in the northeast. Same plot every year now. Usually mid-week teases you with beautiful weather before the weekend is frigid, windy, and wet.
