Thanks, yeah I have definitely had a terrible string of vacations recently that have had terrible weather. Needless to say I am quite hesitant in spending a ton of money to sit inside with 4 kids...

we are pretty much waiting until the last minute to book, but initial thoughts on next week, in New England? Is this thing over the weekend going to get cutoff, making for a miserable/dreary week?

How is the basement holding up? My pool is about ready to over flow...

Well that is a ton of water in a short period of time....impressive gusts of wind too

I started mine a couple years ago, now they are popping up everywhere. At this point, might be too much of a good thing. The hummingbirds love them though....

More like fishing/kayaking....I would probably take my wetsuit and ride a few waves, but not sure the kids would spend much time in the water whether it was a lake or the ocean. We have always done beach trips, Delaware to Hatteras so we always had warmer water.

Insane....being in the shade right now causes immediate sweating

93.9/74.....HI 104+, wouldn't have thought that was possible for September 7th Pool temp has skyrocketed to 84°

My wife and I can't decide where to take our 4 kids the last week of September. There are tons of Airbnb options from the Cape cod area to cabins on a lake. We typically travel late Spring/early summer, but we have some time now late September. Any thoughts from the locals? Thanks!

89.1⁰/76⁰ at noon on September 6th

43 for the low here...house was in the mid 60s, just a bit chilly for September 1st

Woke up to quite a light show...best storm of the year for here?

Sun peeking out now after getting over an inch this morning, temp hanging around 71⁰

Nice soaking rain this morning, 0.25 inch so far.... 66⁰ Kind of dry around here recently, around an inch since the 20th so this was needed

Not a bit of sun here, 74/65...not expecting much around here

Knock on wood, I have not found a nest on my property this year. Last year I had a large one in the wall of my bathroom and one in the stone wall around my pool. I had both taken care of professionally. Ladders and yellow jackets, not a combination I was going to take on....In years past, I have always waited until dusk, covered the hole with a window screen, then poured a combo of boiling water and Dawn dish soap. Shortly after, I would spray the hole with a eco friendly wasp spray. Never had issues after that. My neighbor has 2 large active nests that he is having someone take care of today. Bad year for the yellow jackets it seems....

46.0⁰, what a flip from July. Tomatoes and peppers can't be very happy this morning

49.8⁰, not bad for July 31st. Another great day on tap

Already 65⁰ here....Kids jumping in the 88⁰ pool are going to freeze when they get out, lol

It will change come November, just in time for "winter" to move in.....

interesting as it remains cloudy up there and we have the sun breaking out down here.....probably ok because I really have no need for no power and the heat that is coming.

seems like Saturday will be the first "real" cold front we have seen in what seems like forever.....can't wait to have the windows open for an extended period. hopefully it doesn't bring Canadian smoke this way

75/74 here, with a southerly breeze, it smells like the ocean and feels like Florida. Some sun peaking through, storms like to die out as they approach this small valley...so not expecting anything crazy, but we shall see I guess. This neighborhood did have the tornado remnants pass through back in 2018, so I guess it can happen.

Wow, hit 53.1⁰ around 5:50 this morning, still 58⁰....house is kind of chilly, feels great.

Newer houses maybe? Those tall trees were probably once protected from other trees around them. Newer construction diverting runoff towards the woods edge, combined with a ton of rain to begin with. A kid probably could have pushed them over if they tried hard enough....
