I left the window fans on last night....59 in the house this morning
-
Ha, yeah I should change that...thanks for the reminder. I see someone a few miles away made it down to 38, so I might not be that far off.
-
I was in Newtown, moved to Southbury. I sit in a small valley...the soil is really sandy and we have had very little rain, so it is bone dry. That probably aids a bit in the radiating department. I have a 3 year old Vantage Pro 2, so it should be close to reality.
-
Wow, 37.8 here for the low...my new place radiates so well. I expected low 40s, not upper 30s
-
Down to 52 here already...I was hoping to keep the pool open for another week or 2, but it doesn't look very warm moving forward. The kids were only in for 20 minutes today, a good sign that things are getting a bit too chilly for swimming. The temp was still 74 this afternoon...
-
Gorgeous day for a hike today. Can we have days like today until November 15th?
-
44.8 will do it here, coldest of the young season so far...
-
Had a few showers, but the bulk of it looks to remain along the southern most portions of the state....radar looked great first thing this morning, but the heavier echoes just fell apart as they moved north, almost like there was a rain shield in place...lol
-
Perfect weather, warm enough for the pool during the day, but cool enough by evening to keep the windows open at night....can we have this right through October please?!
-
Nice steady rainfall here...0.20" in the bucket so far

North of here, right before the crazy winds and power knocked out again...

Yup, I have no time to deal with anymore of that...a nice steady rainfall is fine by me -
Thank you! I know, pool was cloudy after all the rain and the kids spending all day in it. I have a degree in Marine Biology and can keep corals alive in my sleep, but never took care of a pool before. I haven't had a chance to sleep with the move and 3 kids let alone figure out the pool. So I broke down and had someone stop by until I can sit down and figure out the system. Thankfully the pool temp was still 76 this morning, even with the heater shut off...
-
Thanks! That direction is looking to the southwest, hopefully a great view for lightning from the deck. The fall colors should be great as well....
-
We have been looking for a while and honestly a pool was not on our list. I didn't want the hassle of maintenance or the cost of paying someone to do it. It was always easier taking the kids to the town pool. But as you said Covid made it worth the hassle. The market has been insane here, we were lucky to get this one, contingent within 24 hours after 4 other offers. Now where to put the weather station?
-
Thanks! Nice and quiet in this part of town. Looks like it will be a great radiating spot, not quite the lowest point, but I will put the Davis down toward the edge of the property.
-
49.6 for the low at the new house. Finally got the Davis moved over, it wasn't the same without it. Lol
-
I have a south facing house and will be looking into it as soon as we move in...How does your production do in the winter? Big decision will be getting a powerwall or not...
-
Yuck, hopefully they are overestimating and today is your day... Talked to the current owners of our soon to be new house. They said they lost power for 6 hours. The neighborhood has buried lines so there was an issue on the main road.
-
Did you get power back yet? We have power, but no internet here...we still have 40 road closures in town, wires are laying everywhere.
-
Feels like an early Fall morning out there....58/53 when I woke up
-
Just got the automated call from the town, 75% of Newtown is without power....reading the Facebook page it seems like every other road is closed due to trees and powerlines down, quite reminiscent of the May Tornado a few years back. I was not up here for Sandy or Irene, so I can not compare to this one. This was the best duration windstorm I have ever experienced. The sustained winds of the July (2013?) Mid Atlantic derecho were more impressive as was the overall experience.
-
You can hear the big gusts from almost a minute away, roaring like a train coming...the smell of pine is strong, lol
-
Same here...
