BDL 100 on Thursday?

I have lived on the CT shoreline for close to 40 years. Its the lows at night that are noticeable. Not saying its CC but the overnight temps here have been nuts. Went outside at midnight and it was still 82 out. 76 70 at KHVN at 4am is not normal. Normal low is around 64 here.

I am glad I live here . Just went to the beach and embraced the onshore flow of hot and humid air.

So many dew deniers around here. It's been nothing but special here all weekend. 76 70 at 4 am is how you dew it.

My wife went to a friend's bday party with a dozen or so of her close friends. Almost everyone felt tired and not right in the days after. Majority were vaccinated. People here have reported the same. Many people were like it feels exactly like I did after my 2nd shot. I highly doubt it's something else.. The end take is if your young and healthy the vaccine seems to be working.

We are in our mid 30's no kids, healthy and go out a lot. We are both convinced it went through our close friends/family.

My wife and I are both vaccinated with Moderna. Last week my wife was wiped out, like completely exhausted and tired for a day or two. She had like zero energy and described it as feeling just like my 2nd Moderna shot. A few days later I felt the same thing. A couple friends and family reported the same thing and we are all starting to think it was maybe the delta going around.

This is spot on. Wife and I rescued a puppy from Georgia last summer. Its my first puppy and dog. The early morning and evening walks are incredible here along the shoreline. He goes to this spot like every walk and just chills and is so happy. I sit there with him and it's just so relaxing.

What a summer... .LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/... More of a typical summertime airmass develops next week, with increasingly warm and humid conditions anticipated as a large scale ridge sets up across the Eastern US.

Here in CT many popular restaurants are moving out of the cities and into suburban locations. Seems to be a big trend happening here around New Haven.

New Haven thin crust coal fired apizza (ah beets) is where its at. Sally's and Pepes who have been around since the 20s and 30's are consistently ranked some of the best pizza in America.

Noticed the same big jump lately as well. Takeout food seems crazy expensive now. Picked up some wings at a really popular spot and they were $15 for a 10 piece. They were like $7.99 pre covid. 2 bacon burgers and a large fry was $40 at five guys last week.

Yep. Epic day on down here on the sound.

Crazy rock slide video from India.

I just started using Tenacity this summer as we got a puppy and am trying to avoid any chemical herbicides like 24D in his area. The active ingredient is mesotrione, a compound derived from the bottlebrush plant. I think it also has a low risk EPA rating as well. You only need a teaspoon per gallon so your putting down such a tiny amount. Worked great on my crabgrass. It disrupts photosynthesis and it turns white in a week or two. It also is acts as a premergent and can be put down with grass seed as well.

Cool site to track the smoke and air quality. https://fire.airnow.gov/#

Its been a dry stretch here as well with only .45 in the last 14 days.

July is usually one of the best months for solar production. This year its one of the worst months in the 5 years I have had the panels. Really shows your how little sun we had this July.

It looked great coming towards New Haven then poof. I only got .02. I actually haven't had much rain here in Branford with only .08 in the last 7 days. I assume its been similar in Clinton?

Is that it for CT? Or is there more storms later? That line just vaporized when it hit New Haven.

Got basically nothing here on the central CT coast. KHVN with only .06 the last 24 hours.

Can't believe how many of you are fussing with window units. How much did you spend on your house? Install some mini splits or central air. Lets spend 400k on a house but not spend 10k to be comfortable in it....

Exactly what happened to me. One of the stings was right between my eyes. It happened yesterday morning and when I woke up early today it was still bad and I could barely see. Finally this afternoon the swelling is rapidly going down and I am good now. Been stung many times but near your eyes is like 10 times the swelling.
