Torch!

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.

Surf's seriously up in S RI.  Long period swell.

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.

Also, anyone hear about a plane crash in SECT? I saw something fiery spiral out of the sky when I was on the water earlier. Set fire on the ground wherever it came down too. Didn’t see anything on local news.  

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.

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?

Almost S FL like, low of 73F and high dews, air temp needs be 88-94 and we are there. We dealt with these conditions from late April to October every day…

BDL and HVN both had lows of 76 last night.

Our beech has beach leaf disease. This tree is one of the reasons we bought this lot 30 yrs ago.  It's now roughly 50' tall with a 50' canopy and shades most of the front yard. The arborist wants to do a root flare injection for $900. But everything I read says spending hundreds a year will only prolong the inevitable. So we'll probably have to have it cut down.

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.

Yea. They’re getting invasive here digging under my front porch creating tunnels from one side to the other. I tried discouraging the area with non lethal home remedies but they refuse to relocate. 

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..

Energy friend says grid is close to collapsing . Said Almost did yesterday 

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.
