59/50. Great sleeping weather

Fauci said 50% effectiveness would be a success. 

Not if enough people don't get vaccinated

 

There is no end game. Vaccine is a panacea but how long does it last,effective, one positive right? 
 

An article yesterday said that the percentage of people willing to get a vaccine as soon as it comes out has dropped to about 40%, down from 55% in April. Mostly cause people want to wait it out awhile before getting injected with a rushed to market vax. So the thought that the vax is the end all be all won't be the case even if very effective if not enough people don't get vaccinated.

Nice, you get around at all?  We did takeout a few nights.  Venezia on Rt 302 in Bridgton is phenomenal.  Campfire Grill is good.  The Chef/Owner used to work at Barrett's group locally and The Charlie Horse in Kingston.

my wife's fav italian place

to those that like and were biting at the bit for destruction, enjoy your cleanup

Power never flickered. We'll rebuild

Gust to 33. 0.61"

No power, no phone, no internet.  I was smart and called Verizon this morning figuring this would happen and changed temporary to a daily unlimited data so using phone as hotspot.
 25% of the NH Coop does not have power and backside winds are just arriving.  Lots of gusts into the 30's but peak wind so far 42mph
 This is not going to be a quick power outage.
 

That blows. Pun intended

Hvy rn and gusts to 30. Big difference compared to an HR ago

About a 5 min quick burst of a shower came thru, 0.01", Winds picked up with that to 16mph and now dropped back off to around 2 mph.

same. going to naples to check on the boat ropes....just in case. And maybe stop and get a pop

Jealous of all the rain out west

Other than some decent gusts, this is a nothing burger. Precip knocked down again, maybe 0.5". Good training for winter 20-21.

Still haven't purchased genny for the transfer switch we had installed couple months ago. Unless we get 40+ gusts, I doubt we lose power, but if we do my wife is gonna kick my ass for not buying the genny already.

The SSE wind direction can get quite damaging, I'm already dealing with a couple of the lakes regions Marina concerns as there docks face those directions and have advised them to take necessary action to protect the boats that are tied up at least on the ends of them and move them closer in where they won't be exposed, They can handle gust in the 30's but that's at there limit.

naples marina full. don't think jimmy has any room to move boats in. Glad mine is pretty close to the shore.

Isaias looked better last night, It's been a constant battle with this cyclone fighting wind shear and dry air which looks to still be the case again this morning.

Knock down those rain totals I guess

Ok. Nice.  You're a bit further west than where we stay in Mount Vernon just west of Belgrade Lakes.  Similar-looking topography perhaps your area is a bit more mountainous.  Our lake is at about 400 ft with some 800-900 ft hills surrounding it. 

Grew up in belgrade lakes. Had friends from Mount Vernon. Cool little town

Took this shot last night down by the fire pit. Thought it was kinda neat.

Nice, I see more in CNH moving east, Maybe we grab some of those if they hold up.

Looks like we might get whacked

Yup, 7-10'd, 0.01", The line blew up once it was east of here.

Grabbed 0.47"

0.47" in shower. Surprised we got anything

Ha, that might be better.  At least he won't give up any home runs.  Just walks.
Half of the Marlin's team has tested positive for COVID after more positive tests today, yikes.  This won't last long anyway.

Are they spreading it in the locker room? No way that's all happening outside

Taking it sweet time here to cool down, 77/69.

Turned off the ac and opened doors. Not so bad now.

You and I probably both have soil problems. It doesn’t really matter if it’s wet or dry my lawn is tough to maintain. Crabgrass looks fantastic right now though.  Bright green! 

Oh yeah. Look at this fantastic yard. I've only cut the lawn twice all season

I thought I was mistaken with my 5.5” since June 28 but local wunderground station at the community college down the street is 6.4”
We wet here, complete opposite of June. 

We were close to 7" last month, but surprisingly it did little for the lawn. Still a wasteland

Nada for storms as expected. Can't wait to have to drill another well for the house
