  1. My son was stung by one of those bastards when we were eating outside. This fall is going to be full on war with diners. I don't think we will win that war at this point.
  2. I love summer too, but I am not enjoying measuring the rain by feet instead of inches. That part has not been fun up here. A 20 minute thunderstorm is great. A 90 minute deluge that removes my mulch and new grass, not so much!
  3. Another flooding rain up here in Putnam County. Just what the mosquitoes ordered.
  4. If JB says it we can all safely plan a beach vacation. Good lord how anyone listens to that damn clown.
  5. I’d love a nice dry stretch now. I start getting worried around this time in wet summers that our dry stretch will fall during winter. Sigh.
  6. Right? Even on our warmest days if you slept with ac in 82 the dew point in your house would be almost 82 haha. I’d just die over night from drowning in my own sweat.
  7. I'm right on the CT/NY border. July finished 1.3 degrees above average for us with an average of 70.8. Our dews were the biggest story, but we have not had a heatwave yet. June was -2.5 degrees from average with an average temp of 62.2 degrees. July was our wettest July with 10.05 inches. I do think if we could dry out we would be above average for August, but right now based on what I see through mid-month, we'd really need to take off with temps because our next few nights will really drop that average temp down for the month. We could see upper 40s here tomorrow morning. As currently modeled, we won't break 83 until next Thursday and we have 4 nights with lows below 60. JJA to date we are still below average (albeit the exceptionally warm new averages).
  8. I’m honestly not see a sustained return to above average warmth. This might be the first time in awhile we have a below average JJA, which is quite shocking. But since below average months are so rare now I hope we don’t use up all our juice before winter.
  9. We could be on our way to our first below average JJA in some time. Looks like we remain right below on average through mid month. Heat keeps getting pushed back. Just like in winter we are running out of time for big numbers.
  10. The energy star guidelines that came out this summer say that you should have it at 78 during the day, 82 at night, and 85 when you are away. I guess they want us to uninstall and never reinstall. https://www.tomsguide.com/news/thermostat-recommended-temperature I'm also 72 during the day and 68 at night.
  11. Beautiful double rainbow!
  12. I’m not seeing anything like the past few days on the models. Maybe I’m blind but I see average to just below with some low dew days and some tropical dew days. But I am seeing more drier days than we have had. I don’t want to rush the pattern to autumn yet and want to enjoy some more summer. Each season for its own.

  14. Odd the weather channel is going for a below average month temperature wise for NYC and Boston in August. I think it will be just above average because of the cool start but warm to hot finish.
  15. This might be the first "historic" heatwave where I do not even hit 90 degrees. Just a few days ago I had a forecasted high of 92, 99, and 95. Yesterday was 89, forecast for today is 89 again, and tomorrow 87. Sunday through at least Wednesday looks like a late September pattern and that could extend.

  17. Damaged but not broken. It will come back multiple times between now and Christmas.
  18. I was outside working on my gutters and siding. It was hot but it wasn’t unbearable. With the clouds I felt fine. Then again I’m also the guy that goes for runs on vacation in Florida in August.
  19. Just had a big storm in Patterson. I have to say hearing the Mayor call this heat a matter of life and death was ridiculous. It is hot but it is not hotter than we typically get in a summer lately. It is hot and heat does kill but let’s not pile on hyperbole.
  20. No heatwave happening in Patterson, NY. Temps have been adjusted down. Today won’t get to the 90s. Maybe tomorrow.
  21. It’s also true that very few were actually calling for an ice age. That is a myth that has been perpetuated since the 70s. A Time article and a few other pieces but most studies showed warming. Even Exxon had studies showing the warmth that they downplayed starting around then. https://skepticalscience.com/ice-age-predictions-in-1970s.htm
  22. This is the ridge out west not the western Atlantic ridge right? A hot look?
  23. Can really tell the earlier sunsets now.
  24. “Cool shot” now is average based on the models I’m seeing. Days like today cannot be beat but ending just a hair below the average for the day.
  25. Oliver Stone. Roger Stone is a political consultant. Nuclear will make a great bridge fuel. As for biofuel we could do it with algae using diatoms. Some species can be up to 60% lipid which is oil. Very cool stuff because it burns like fossil oil and then recapture the CO2 to grow. Also switchgrass and ethanol production is not as easy as algae.
