Lol . Better look at actual data 

So I used a min temp of 70F and min DP of 65. # of times criteria was met:

May =0

June = 3

July = 24

Aug = 15

So while there were more than "a handfull" of days it certainly did not feel as dewy because a lot of those days were wet. When I think of annoying dews, it's usually when temp is >80F and DP >70. Regardless it's not dew all the time here.

No snow. Few gusts, meh

Now we have no power and the whole street is out. Over 10k are out with NHEC. House is now full of smoke from the pellet stove. Fun night.

Right 

Why when dews come to stay in Maine?

That’s not desirable in summer . I want 88-94.. with high dews and severe. Seasons in seasons

Trolling kevin aside. If you’re going to pull  70s in a March this would be one to do it.  It doesn’t take much for a couple of DSD days if we’re already past mud season into CNE. 

I'm ready to move on. Sledding season is done with no hope of recovery and while that hurts, it means I can get out on the road bike and do some cycling earlier than usual and at least start making plans for the boating season. I think we're due for a hot/dry summer and while I don't prefer those, after last Summer's debacle, I'll gladly take it. Lawn might not like it though.

My coworker in Dallas was complaining about the mid 90s there today. That’s way too early. 

48.7F Pretty nice out

Shovel the roof  . Take calcium chloride put in nylons(cheesecloth) tie up and place on the ice every 3 feet to make runoff channels 

thanks, but how do you tie up and attach on a 12/12 roof? 

So we have an ice dam that is causing some issues. I don't think I realized what it was until I saw the large icicles hanging off the siding. Pretty sure this happens every winter at some point, but don't recall seeing the icicles before. Last summer I noticed the pine soffit trim pieces had a punky look to them and have some mold on them, but it didn't make sense at the time as to why. Now I know. Is there anything I can do now to relieve the dam? I realize there is water pooled somewhere above the ice at the edge of the gutter, but not sure how far up. Best I can do is try and shovel some of the snow off the roof immediately behind the ice. With the warm up coming, I'm hoping it melts pretty quick, but this side of the house (north) doesn't get much sun so probably won't melt as quick as I'd like. I'll definitely need to remove soffit pieces in the Spring and investigate a bit behind the wall. The backside of wall is our master bed closet. So far I don't see any water damage. Fingers crossed. 

I’m not in the business of picking spots on the globe to fit my preconceived narrative but you do you.

So you guys had just one event for all of November and December?  Or one event in November, and one in December?  Your total snow for the season so far is 6.5”? 

January was pretty wintry.   The rest of it was dog shit. 

To this point… what’s the mechanism that *could* bring global temp anomalies back in line? We baked at a global scale this year- I’m not sure betting on a miraculous return to prior curve is a bet I’d make. 

7.8° so far. Could be the last single digits of the season.

Maybe that’s why you’ve replanted your lawn 6x and failed. You don’t do yardwork at the correct times. 

This mess will freeze solid this weekend ensuring no yardwork can get done.

GYX snowfall map as of 30 mins ago just in case anyone is browsing/lurking and didn't get the memo (we ain't got much of a storm comin').

that blows. 

You must be in a warm spot. Raymond station has five below 10° for January alone.

Now that’s insane.

Keep that shiat up there. Still no below 0F down here. I’ve never gone a winter without experiencing it.

Think back to those dry Euro monthly maps that many folks tossed . Turns out they were correct 

Figured the spigot would eventually turn off, but thought it would have done so awhile ago. If only all that rn were sn we'd be a much better spot
