Great splitting weather..

No jaws edition?

Great week coming up with dews.

The National Weather Service is looking at the possibility that Sunday's historic rain event set a record for the most rainfall ever in Connecticut over a 24-hour period. https://www.nbcconnecticut.com/weather-news/stories/sundays-massive-rainfall-may-have-been-most-in-connecticut-history-nws/3367349/

Route 67 in Seymour.

Yeah. I'm out on Pt Judith for vacation. Finally some surf as its been so calm all week. Made for great fishing though. I went out on the Lady Frances fishing on Thursday and the staff said the day before someone caught a juvenile great white right off Pt Judith. They said it hung around for awhile and just swam around the boat. https://turnto10.com/news/local/rhode-island-fishermen-encounter-great-white-shark-southern-new-england-narragansett-lady-frances-fleet-sharks-wild-life-ocean-water-august-14-2024

I'm in Narragansett on vacation and someone who was supposed to take a train here is delayed because there is a big brush fire near Misqmiciut effecting the tracks. Probably from a lighting strike.

Anyone ever seen the New England Giant pumpkin guy that grows 2000lb+ pumpkins. His pumpkin this year is putting on 41lbs a day. He also sells seeds. https://beacons.ai/negiantpumpkin

HVN snuck one in and BDR was close. I track all my heat pump electricity consumption and HDD/CDD. The last few days have been absolutely absurd compared to normal.

Trumbull CT yesterday.

Anyone remember this? https://www.spc.noaa.gov/misc/AbtDerechos/casepages/jul1995derechopage.htm#:~:text=The Ontario-Adirondacks Derecho of,1995 U.S. dollars in damage.

Is this legit for DAW +9.7? Nearly 3x the normal cooling degree days and only halfway through the month...

DAW is +9.7 for July.. haha Supposedly that sensor is running warm? Average July temp of 80.2 degrees.. Even if it's off a degree or two that is some historic heat up there..

Yeah. HVN picked up 1.6 in a hour.

Yeah. Almost an inch here from that first round. Looks like round 2 is over Stamford heading this way.

BDL and HVN both had lows of 76 last night.

What a special summer...

No need to spend hundreds a year. You can legally buy every chemical online and diy. The same exact stuff the professionals charge you $900 is available online for probably $40. https://www.domyown.com/

I use the rat zapper on chipmunks. Instant and painless death. They cause a ton of damage here as well.
