  1. I read most of the ones in Nova Scotia were from human activity. Probably the same with the ones now in Quebec.
  2. Anyone else with Solar have their best month of production in May? I had the highest production month In the 8 years I have had my panels. My little 5.4 kw system produced 1.05 MwH.
  3. Hopefully those who haven't installed take advantage of this cooler day to get them in.
  4. A beautiful 62 out on Pt Judith as I enjoy my lobster roll from Iggys on my lunch break.
  5. It's been a pretty epic stretch of weather though on the shoreline. Both GON and HVN are +3 for May. It's also been sunny here every pretty much day when I look at my solar production.
  6. Been working on my sister house on Pt Judith. I forget how terrible it is here in the spring. Just lows 60s all week. High of only 64 here today. About to head north for some dinner and 80's.
  7. I trust his forecast more than any computer model... The local land trust is basically a bunch of 80+ year old Yale Professors of archeology, forestry, history, etc. They have radiocarbon dated some of the locations he talks about to 12,500 years.
  8. I volunteer with my local land trust and a Native American elder just told me to get ready for the hottest and driest summer on record...
  9. Today turned out to be a spectacular day for those on the coast. Wasn't a cloud in the sky all day here. You could see the clouds forming just inland.
  10. 61 and Its been full sun here all day. Absolutely gorgeous day to be working outside.

  12. Head down. We had a pretty amazing stretch of weather here the last few days but it looks a bit stormy this week. Its the best time of the year to get out of New England... took the new Avelo flight out of HVN. Was only a 2:38 flight coming down. The sun angle warning is legit. Like 75% of our group got roasted with sunburn and are out for the count today...
  13. Its been full sun here most of the day and it looks pretty active just west of here. We had a deluge earlier and then full sun and the dews were spectacular.
  14. Pretty epic day for severe here... The atmosphere is primed for thunderstorm development today as a stationary front sits in south-central Florida and additional parameters point to the increased potential. This morning`s 12Z sounding highlighted PWATs of 1.57in which is near the 90th percentile for this time of year. In addition, low-level winds will begin to veer more westerly/southwesterly as a previously formed mesoscale convective system breaks up into multiple positive vorticity pulses that advect over the Florida Peninsula.
  15. I didn't realize grubex is using a new chemical that appears to be relatively safe and effective. Chlorantraniliprole (AceleprynTM for commercial applicators, GrubExTM for homeowners) is a non-neonicotinoid insecticide that is extremely effective against all white grub species (as well as caterpillars) and has no activity against bees, ants, or wasps. The product also has a very low level of vertebrate toxicity, so much so that a signal word is not required on the label, not even ‘Caution’. An important aspect of using chlorantraniliprole is to account for the fact that it takes 60 to 90 days to fully dissipate in the soil for optimum effectiveness against grubs. Therefore, the preventive window is earlier than for the neonicotinoids, usually mid-April to early June in most years.
