You kidding? We'd have an entire thread of whining. Tropical threats in SNE usually involve a few lawn chairs blown over after DIT promises forests being flattened.

I feel like in New England, you have to push the warm seasons back a couple weeks from the "meteorological XXXX" distinction. We all know spring isn't really 3/1 in here either. Prob more like late March. Ditto for summer....it's not uncommon to have cruddy/miserable stretches in early June but usually they are done by late month.

What was the last legit COC summer we had? 2000? 2009 was brutally chilly but it wasn't because of COC, it was super wet in June/July. 2000 I recall lots of legit chilly/dry nights. 2007 was pretty COC too, though not like 2000 that I remember. But IIRC CON had 30s a few times that summer in June and August.

A coating on the picnic tables next week?

Dude, just block him if he bothers you that much.

Not being saddled with a 600 or 700 dollar per month student loan payment would go a long ways as well. We've talked about the insane cost of college now, but that is definitely a hindrance to younger generations buying a home....and we know buying a home is a fastest way for upward mobility on wealth.

1997-2012 is also kind of a bad cherry-picked time frame that is way shorter than 1935-1980 and also different circumstances. The 1935-1980 period has the beginning in the middle of the great depression (start at the nadir)....the 1997-2012 time frame starts during the late 1990s boom and ends in the aftermath of the GFC. That said, you are right about the unique circumstances of the middle 20th century where the rest of the developed world was bombed back to the stone age and America was the one left standing to rebuild everything for the globe. That kind of advantage cannot be replicated by simply changing the tax code or labor laws. Actually enforcing some anti-trust laws would probably help with real wages, and if the government ever gets out of the business of subsidizing massive education loans, there might be a correction in the inflation of tuition. Housing is the toughest one though. Not an easy fix with all the NIMBYism and environmental hoops you have to jump through to build more housing these days.

This was one of the few severe events here where I was following the models like I would for a winter threat. Like 36-48 hours out and closer I remember a bunch f us posting soundings in the thread. The numbers were so good.

It’s decent. Def better than Rockport. They prob average like 6-8” more snow but the retention is definitely better. The CF can get very close to the shore up there. Like literally 5 miles can often make a big difference whereas down on Cape Ann you have to get at least 10-15 miles west. So some of it depends exactly where you end up. If you are like 4-5 miles inland it would prob be noticeably snowier the right on the shore, but even right on the shore up there will be better than where you are now.

Insurance usually will deal with it. They'll go after the guy.

Unvaxxed aren't supposed to be maskless yet here. But playing devil's advocate, there's very little risk catching it from unvaxxed either going forward. It was different even a month ago. But like 3/4ths of adults are vaxxed here. Basically, if you wanted one, you have been able to get one for a while now. A vaxxed person has almost nothing to fear being in a grocery store with an unvaxxed person.

I won't be wearing a mask in the store going forward because they are are annoying (esp in the heat) and I'm not increasing risk in any meaningful way.

Euro looks like a furnace. We’ll have to see if it keeps showing that as we get closer.

Yes officially. There was apparently snow in June earlier in the 1800s two different times before records. One of them was during the 1816 summer (year without a summer) and I think the other was in the 1830s but I’d have to double check my ginxy Dead Sea scroll sources again to be sure.

ORH back down to 43. So the high is going to be 44 unless it warms during the evening. That obliterates the old daily record of 51 and also is the latest date on record for a sub-45 high. Old record was 5/26/67 when the high was 41 (it also snowed on that day in 1967).

High temp is still 44F. Pretty impressive actually. I figured it would make it a few degrees higher during the peak insolation but it hasn’t happened.

I think you’ll see more and more people drop masks as the summer heat gets turned up...plus the vax rate will keep slowly increasing and severe covid numbers will keep tending toward zero. When it is freezing out, the mask is actually useful to keep warm too but it becomes a real pain in the ass when it’s 93/70 outside.

I was out at the grocery store today and it was about 60/40 for wearing/not wearing ratio. I actually expected it to be a bigger ratio but was pleasantly surprised to see it nearing 50/50. Given a 0.7% positivity rate and nearly 2/3rds of adults in the state fully vaccinated, there’s not much left to fear now.

2013 was May 25th I think? ORH high temp through 11am is 44F. Wonder if they can keep it 46F or colder. Prob not but if they did, this would be the latest date on record for a high that cold.

Definite latitude gradient on that 1917 date given ORH was 51. Prob struggled to hit 40F that day in the 1500-2000’ elevations west of CON.

Yeah threadex is another great site.

Go to NOWdata in BOX climate site https://w2.weather.gov/climate/xmacis.php?wfo=box Then choose the below selections for record low maxes and it will give you the records for every day of the year

Record low max is 51. That might get obliterated as long as the precip (even if steady drizzle) hangs in all day.

That def looks like wet flakes on the Stratton webcam.

Yeah looking at 925mb it gets down to around 0C to 1C so like 2000 feet or higher could maybe start mixing or even flip?
