  1. Something similar happened here. Some guy killed his ex and then took his own life. Family/friends were contacting the police with concerns for months leading up to it. The cops did nothing and my town is facing unprecedented lawsuits that will be very easy to win based off the fact they did absolutely nothing.
  2. Almost 70k lbs of Co2 reduced and I planted the equivalent of 526 trees according to my Solar ap.
  3. I remember when Bolton Valley put up the wind turbine. I had a season pass and that thing was always cranking in the winter when I was there. I remember talking to someone about it and they said the wind often gets too high and it locks the blades for safety. There is some serious wind potential on the western slope of the greens. Does Stowe have any wind power?
  4. I lived in Burlington VT in the late 90s early 2000s and worked at Smugglers Notch one winter. I remember seeing like 5 or 6 diesel powered air compressors running to make snow. The operations guy said Green Mountain power couldn't deliver enough electricity to run the compressors. Those compressors were belching out thick diesel exhaust and the amount of energy the ops guys told me was consumed to blow snow was absurd.
  5. Was looking over some frost/freeze data. Didn't realize BOS has been averaging 215 frost free days.
  6. Just noticed my Rose of Sharon are loaded with buds.
  7. The crows went absolutely crazy on my dogwood berries this morning.
  8. Was just looking over my solar data. What a sunny week.
  9. I was working on a house in Tolland last week off 140 near Lake Shenipsit. What a weenie spot up there for elevation. Some great colors on the swamp maples around there but noticed all the brown.
  10. What a year for mushrooms. My 81 year old aunt who is a vegetarian said she's never seen a better harvest..
  11. Lots of angry yellow jackets out in full force here today getting drunk and angry off fermenting apples...
  12. From donsuntherland1 in the NYC forum. The ECMWF weeklies had forecast temperatures to average above to much above normal across the region for the September 4-11 period. That forecast is verifying with the ongoing heatwave. September has increasingly become an extension of summer in parts of the Northeast. Since 2000, almost half of all years (48%) have had a monthly mean temperature of 70° or above in New York City. Prior to 2000, just 20% of Septembers had mean temperatures of 70° or above. The ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly was +3.2°C and the Region 3.4 anomaly was +1.6°C for the week centered around August 30. For the past six weeks, the ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly has averaged +3.22°C and the ENSO Region 3.4 anomaly has averaged +1.32°C. El Niño conditions will likely continue to strengthen into the fall with the current East-based event transitioning to a basinwide El Niño for the upcoming winter. The SOI was -19.67 today. The preliminary Arctic Oscillation (AO) was +0.527 today. On September 7 the MJO was in Phase 3 at an amplitude of 2.665 (RMM). The September 6-djusted amplitude was 2.560 (RMM). Based on sensitivity analysis applied to the latest guidance, there is an implied 76% probability that New York City will have a warmer than normal September (1991-2020 normal). September will likely finish with a mean temperature near 71.6° (2.4° above normal).
  13. Thanks for the clarification. You got a link for that graph/data? While this week won't rival the dews of yore in 59 and 73. It's still been a pretty historical first week of dews in September.
  14. Some really special dews down here today. 88/74 with a heat index of 97.
  15. What a furnace it's been on the CT shoreline with the overnight lows. 5 am and HVN is 79, BDR 76, GON 75. 77 for my low.
  16. I think this year has 61 beat. BDL is +6.2 and in 1st for September with an average temperature of 75.1.
  17. I like this site. Click view monthly charts Here is BDL Sept 79 https://mesonet.agron.iastate.edu/sites/monthlysum.php?station=BDL&network=CT_ASOS
  18. For GON and HVN to rank in the top 10 for CDD I would call that a warm summer. Both HVN and GON have put up positive temperature departures every month ytd as well. GON HVN
