Pics or it didn’t happen

I got a guy

Violently agree. When was the last decent year around here for foliage? The past two, for sure, have sucked.

Isn’t that a relative question? Do you mean the worst of the heat as in upper 90s for highs? Or worst of the heat as in departures from average?

You know just how close that was to my house...the view from the top of the hill here of that must have been fantastic.

Care to guess if I feel the same?

Filmed about a mile from here

Yikes! They definitely got nailed today.

Missed me by two miles. Numerous reports of trees into houses in Montgomery according to the Orange and Rockland County Fire page on Facebook.

And what a pop that is, as you know. During the tropical storm about an hour after I got power back, only out 4 hours that time, I heard that exact noise but didn’t realize what it was plus my power didn’t go out. I wondered if the Red Coats were attacking! The next morning I saw two fuses flipped on the line that goes to the pump house at the river thanks to a branch laying on top of them.

I guess that cell had rotation as per Hudson Valley weather.

After the first two jump starts, one before work and one after, we got the battery replaced and yet it still wouldn’t start. The wife called our mechanic son who said try jumping it again even with the new battery as it could be a voltage issue with the starter not getting enough because it’s shot or the wires to the starter are messed up. Sure enough it fired right up when I jumped it for the last time today.

Nice. Luckily no damage or anything in my yard. That last cell rocked just north and east of me, many outages out this way thanks to that. I got to jump start my wife’s car three times today, once in the rain, winning! Got home late, didn’t get dinner and then lost power. I’m too tired to wrestle with the generator tonight, just hope the power flips on tonight or add to my morning list run the generator before jumping the wife’s car again to get it to Formula H. First world problems, I know.

.43 so far. Lost power. #2020

I'm hoping for a whole lot of noting later IMBY. Saturday could be a soaking rain for a while at least.

Yeah, the whole area could use some sustained periods of rain instead of a deluge in 20 minutes or less. Would think that forest fire danger is creeping up there now too.

Tough day on the links, Champ?

In your pink onesie?

Do you even know how to read a thermometer?

I just checked NOWData for KMGJ and don't see any heat waves in that data either so maybe I'm over thinking my station and location, I dunno.

Yeah, I checked, no heat waves yet this year. I'm thinking there are two factors contributing to that. 1) The river and wetlands around me, the added humidity keeps the temps down a touch. 2) I installed a Davis VP2 with 24-Hour Fan Aspirated Radiation Shield last September. The Vantage Vue is a nice PWS but I had thoughts it ran high on certain sunny days with no wind and maybe this helps to confirm that? Here are the Summers I've been here and how many heat waves each summer, note I had a Davis Weather Montior II through the summer of 2011, then the Davis Vantage Vue from Summer 2012-Summer 2019, now the VP2:

Agreed. My dew will always run high because of the Wallkill and wetlands around me.
