I think I read this somewhere before...Something like a rider on a white horse, red horse, black horse, and pale horse then lilacs re-blooming in November. Probably nothing.

Some days Ma Nature spreads em wide

Juggernaut...my brother and I made the mistake of trying that once somewhere around 1994-1996. One of the huge snowy winters we had back then. We snowboard. I remember getting to escape from it somewhere (Solitude maybe?) but it was torturous. We're big fans of Great Eastern and have been able to find a couple really nice and long connectors to make it a 12-15 minute ride at a good clip. The lift to slope time works out to be a very reasonable balance.

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.

Now up to 1.24" through 3:15pm putting the 3 day total at: 2.55"

0.42" Sat, 0.89" Sun and 0.76" so far today. 2.07" for the total through 10am. I sit pretty equidistant from both Manchester (E) and Methuen (NE) at about 30-35 miles.

So many people generally don't like to see or know somebody else is having fun. Misery loves company.

I too am curious what you folks are paying down that way. Prices range all over the place up here depending on where you are in the state. A few weeks back we got 2 cord kiln dried delivered from about 20 miles away for $450/cord. Most I've paid in years however, for kiln dried, that has been typical for for what I've seen posted about. We typically do green in the spring but ironically, and sadly, I recently learned that the reason why our normal firewood guy wasn't returning calls was because his home burned completely to the ground. Heard this second hand and understand he and his wife are OK but it sounds like it's going to be an uphill climb for them.

Sound advice for most any weather forum.

Wow, that is some massive production they put on!
