My station isn't in a dendrite-advised-or-approved location so the direct sun likely skews the temp a bit, but it was a fabulous day nonetheless!

Beauty of a day here. Wife and I got almost the whole woodpile stacked but it got warm out there. No complaints!

26.8 for the low here. First fire in the wood stove of the new season. Let's give it a few weeks til we light it up again.

A damaged weenie. Ouch! Definitely hate to see it.

Ended up with 1.70" total over the past four days. Sun: 0.62, Mon 0.21, Tues 0.68, Weds 0.19 (since midnight)

Saw this fun little graphic at Accuweather. 15”-30” for Boston?

Must be tough keeping the MIL in line when she attempts to dabble with the heat

Looks like we dipped below freezing, but just the tip.

Drought monitor claims the recent rain had no impact in NH. My totals at home are: May 7.37” June 3.62” July 2.75” August 3.26” September 5.87” Total 22.87” Is just under two feet of rain low?

Colors aren't changing quick here but it seems to be on pace with other years. I'm just off the bay at 75' above sea level which could play a role. A stand out feature this year (that I've seen before but not every year) is the significant amount of pine sap. Cones, needles and sap everywhere this year.

Thanks for the details - much appreciated! We drove past a patch today in Portsmouth that were so bright and vibrant. Really pretty this year.

Is there a specific reason why the swamp maples always seem to turn early and be so vibrant? My simple guess is something to do with the moisture in their environment, but I was curious if there's some solid known reason. Or, am I just imagining they turn early to begin with

I remember a time when not every topic, every forum, every conversation was a proxy for politics and political opinions. Un-fukkin-avoidable these days.

0.42" Sat, 0.89" Sun, 1.52" Mon and 0.15" today since midnight. 2.98" should do it for the total. Forecasts were between 2.5" - 3.5" for this area if I recall correctly so they seem pretty spot on.

I get my information from this forum and I'm left confused, sad and delirious.
