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.

This is how you dew it. What a spectacular day..

New England’s power system remains reliable despite widespread hot weather across the region. On Tuesday evening, ISO New England declared a Power Caution after unexpected generation outages left the region short of meeting its operating reserve requirements. The timing of the outages prevented additional resources from coming online in time for the evening peak.

Some locations could possibly not dip below 77 this morning resulting in an incredibly warm start. A rapid heat-up is expected again with potential for slightlyhigher humidity. Dew points in the mid 70s are expected and could briefly push portions of Addison/Rutland/Chittenden County to a 105 heat index

Wow. Burlington VT with an overnight low of 80.6.

BTV putting up an overnight low of 80? Wow.

I'm going to measure this tulip poplar at my lake cabin in NW NJ when I head there in a few days. This thing is an absolute monster of a tree and one of the largest in the area. There are also some huge poplars here in Branford as well.
