WinterSnow

A low of 41F in August is absolutely insane to me, as I lived in the south for three decades. But I love it. By August I'm mentally checked out of summer and thinking only of autumn (yes, it was that way when I lived in the south. It's a bad time to be checked out of summer when it's still hitting the upper 90s and 100s everyday). It didn't get down to 41F where I live in CT, but it was an amazing day yesterday. The temps dropped into the mid 50s for most of the day. I got to sleep under all of my covers last night, the first time in a long time. I'm so ready for that to be an every night thing.

I'm in CT and where's the flipping rain? Seems like it's allergic to CT and wants to stay off to the west/northwest.

Finally got a storm to stay together to come through Bristol, it seemed to be just rain, though. Now the sun's out and I don't even want to think about what that feels like out there.

Yet another storm splits and misses me in Bristol.

Man, everything keeps on missing my town.

It is hot as hell. and was awful even early in the morning when I had to get out. I looked at the date still being only the middle of July and sighed. I need to know there's an end to this heat around the corner. Alas.

That severe thunderstorm vanished right over me. Huh? I was so worried about it as I was coming home but then nothing even happened.

I see storms beginning to form in NW CT. Oops, may have waited a little too late to get out and get things done.

94F / 82 Dew point. Yikes. My A/C is holding up so far, though, so all good.

I'm always counting down to the Winter Solstice. Glad we start losing daylight after today. It will be hot AF for a few days, but we can deal.

So, wow. That wasn't a lot. Just one small cell came through a couple of hours ago. Someone on social media reported that it hailed here but I didn't see it.

I looked her up and found a GYN that specializes in menopause. Now come on, I'm not that old yet! And then I realized you might be referring to slang instead and I looked that up and... uh. No thanks. I can't stand the smell of that stuff!

I was born and raised in this kind of weather. I'll be fine! (Just kidding. It was only like 72 degrees outside and once the sun came out I was suffering. I know you all like to make fun of me, but I think the low heat tolerance is probably medication related, and yes, I'm talking to my doctor about getting off of said medication).

Looks pretty! I hope to get to visit someday!

I came from the South. And it wasn't even Florida. And even there I was indeed very sick of the relentless heat and humidity. Where I came from, mid 80s in the summer is considered a cool day. And if you have a single cloud cover the sun for even five seconds it's a major relief. I cannot even fathom Florida. It sounds like Hell to me. Anyway, I cannot understand this whining about a couple of cloudy, cool days a week.

I saw this and panicked a little, as a lot of my family is in Oklahoma still but thankfully not the SW part of the state. I still follow a meteorologist from the state on FB and yesterday he posted the worst stuff should be to the south so this tracks. Looks like the tornado warning in the NW corner of the TX panhandle is an active tornado. Seeing lots of active tornadoes in these storms this year.

I think you ended up doing just that. I don't think even a drop of rain fell in Bristol. I don't want bad severe weather with tornadoes, but a small thunderstorm and some rain would have been pleasant. It just all just went around me.

84 degrees (one reading says 86, I can believe it) and nasty outside. Can confirm, I just walked in it. Hopefully the storms don't fire up too strong.

I know, it's really not that far. CT's such a tiny state and all. But I do not currently have a car, so I'd have to rely on public transit to do it and it would take like 4+ hours to get to the shore by bus. It's insane out there in some areas. When I took a walk yesterday I saw it was accumulating in the grass, it's crazy! I'm so grateful I'm not allergic to it or I'd be having a very rough time right now.

I agree! I temporarily lived closer to the coast late last summer and got to visit a lot. Would have chosen to permanently live there, but I wanted a little more snow so I ended up settling a little further north. Possibly no beach visits for me this summer. Sad.

Hey now, I relocated to here a year ago. I have experienced a CT summer already. I know that it can and does get into the 90s, I just got the impression from last year that it wasn't something that happens a lot in a given summer like it does where I came from (and last summer was above normal, apparently?), so already being hit with this at the beginning of June is yucky. Just hope my A/C can keep up with it. I can't afford to get a window unit for my bedroom right now.

The only good news. The weather's so amazing right now it's darn depressing that it could be months before it happens again, but I remember seeing a couple of overcast days with highs in the 60s last summer, so... Hey, that's one reason I moved here. Those projected mid-week temperatures are a big yikes. Feel like I've gone back to the south.

In my house, any husband who didn't call yesterday like he promised would be sent packing. I don't mess around with not having air conditioning.

I do! I had to do quite a bit of walking today and the weather is just perfect for that. No sweating, no sun in my eyes. Also, it feels amazing in my apartment and I'll be sleeping under covers tonight (as I have been the past couple of nights). All of that makes me happy. Not looking forward to the walking I'll have to do when it gets warm/hot. This weather happening in late May is a blessing to me.

50 degrees and overcast. It was perfect weather for my walks today. Tomorrow won't be so great for that due to the rain, but I appreciate it staying cooler! And keeping us from going back into drought is good, too.
