Nothing overnight, 0.21" yesterday, 0.71" for September, and 1.24" for August. Seems positively lush compared to some nearby posters. Currently, light to moderate rain under the beam, sitting in the porch, drinking coffee, and enjoying the dews while they last.

What, are you telling me that the eastern shore doesn't get its first frost at the same time as far northern Maine?

31.3 this morning in the lowlands just south of Lake Sunapee.

Millionth stunner of a day in a row today. Did the some vehicle "hiking" up Mt. Kearsarge. Passed a (European, I think???) cyclist beginning the climb up the auto-road at the park-entrance gate. By the time I was "hiking" down the little half-mile trail that takes you to the actual summit, the man had already finished the climb and was actually going up the trail wearing clipless cycling shoes. When I made it back to the parking lot near the top, I noticed he had left his gravel bike leaning against the trail information stand unlocked and unattended. Not sure I would be ballsy enough to do that with a bike worth several grand.

83.8° high off a 46.2° low this morning. Just about perfect weather really. Makes me excited to practice my new fire breathing hobby in the woods out back later this evening.

With a low of 42.4° this morning, the low 'round these parts has averaged 40.1° over the past 6 days. Over the same period (well, not including today) the average high temp was 75.5°. Awesome weather, just really unfortunate that the miasma of drought is dampening the vibe. River out back has been reduced to a trickle.

37.4° this morning. Eyeing the heat setting on the thermostat ominously.

46.0° this morning. House is delightfully cold. Hoping to make it to Saturday without turning on the AC, though it's not like a single 8000 BTU window unit can do much anyway.

45.0° for the low here. Perfect night for astronomy, so I took out the big telescope last night. Took me about 2 hours to figure out why the damn mount kept trying to point the scope at things through the Earth though, which wasn't very fun. No telescope, I can see Arcturus right there, up in the sky, it's not that patch of grass 10 ft away, ugh.

45.9° for the low here. Neighboring station around 500ft or so higher in elevation was something like 12 degrees warmer. Lots of fakeness indeed.

Barn update. Should be done by summer's end. I recommend checking for paper wasp nests before sticking your hands up underneath trim, especially when you are at the very end of a 32' extension ladder. Only the second time I've ever been stung, and I can confirm that it still hurts like a m'fer.

61.9°/60.9°. Picked up 0.50" this morning from a "thunderstorm" (gusted all the way up to 17mph!). Have missed everything in this line currently pushing through.

Even though I live in NH, I still keep a 978 area code. That way when I give people my number, they realize I'm actually from Massachusetts and am therefore better than they are.

53.6°, with misery mist. 0.16" in the gauge. Heat would be kicking in were it not for the fact I have it turned off.

Additional 1.21" in the stratus today. 4.09" total between today and yesterday. Hmm, I wonder what next weekend's forecast looks like...

2.88" in the stratus. Went ahead and emptied it to see how off my PWS is. Reading about 10% higher than true value. Usually it's only around 5% higher, but I think the rates frazzled the poor thing.

Bit of a lull and now off to the races once again.

2.75" in 60min per PWS, however, it tends to read a little high. Eyeballing closer to 2.4-2.5" in the stratus.

Stratus went from 0.02" to overflowing into the larger reservoir in about 20-25 minutes.

Only 0.02" in the stratus since last night here. Have managed to dodge literally everything.

85.6°/68.6° at 10:30am. Gross.

37.8 this morning. Glad to see there's a decent shot of another deluge this weekend. It's every boy's dream to get more rainfall than Kuala Lumpur. Let's make June another 10" plus month. What the hell...

My height for the day has been 68 for many years now unfortunately. Really could use a few more inches.

Gorgeous run of days. The last snow pile by the mailbox is just about gone! Tomorrow should do it.

Only made it to 41.9° for a high today. What a gross way to close out March, lol.
