Why would you say drifting? It's trucking along at 14 mph. Do you think this thing is just going to fall apart in the next 18 hours before making first landfall on Long Island?

Florida also doesn't have the trees that New England does, and that's really the problem. We could have cement poles too but when a 60 foot tree lands on the wires cement pole or not the power is done for.

HWRF makes landfall in Waterford, maybe Niantic Bay.

Bet he makes his minions work the studio while he heads on down to Guilford for the front row seat. Maybe it'll be his Cantore moment.

Eversource says they have brought in 4,000 additional crews, have 2,000 poles and 3,000 transformers on hand. Seems like they have resources in place plus whatever the town public works can add for tree removal. Let's just hope they don't do what they always do and dick around for the first 24-36 hours "assessing damage" before actually getting to work like with Isiaias. If they really do have that many people, they should be able to put a dozen crews in every town so the outages for most people shouldn't be too long. The frustrating part last time was basically going a day or two and not seeing any power trucks in their town.

I don't have a problem with the length of any games, but let's not pretend like NFL isn't 10 minutes of action and 3 hours 20 mins of guys standing around watching a clock tick down, commercials, refs doing their thing, and other rando stoppages in play. At least basketball, hockey, and soccer is constant action.

Glad we'll be back to normal 9 inning games next year and the starting an extra inning with a base runner rule will likely be modified. They've screwed with the rules of the game too much in recent years IMO for the sake of speeding it up.

Back of summer is broken.

It's an AWOS 3P/T station and not an ASOS for whatever that's worth.

Sell those triple digit temps. BDL has one day of 100+ this late in the season, and you have to go all the way back to the 101 on 9/2/53.

Can Barnes go tonight?

98 at BDL on 8/13 or later would be a once a decade event. Pretty rare.

What's not open?

Summer departures so far: BOS +2.5 BDL +1.2 PVD +1.4 ORH +1.6

Do the trees have leathery leaves yet?

August 20th is about when it starts becoming harder to get to 90 and above, so the clock is ticking.

Let's pay the Yanks back for yesterday. They scored 4 in the 8th yesterday maybe we can do the same here.

Why? 90 isn't that common in this part of the country.

So dumb for them to delay the game tonight.

Probably. Look at ACY. 5 hours ago in the middle of the storm now mostly sunny and 80.

Sun has broken out here guess the storm is over.

Tropical Storm Watch up New Haven to Sagamore Beach. New NHC track appears to take it from about MTP to EWB to PYM.

Looks like BOX is just doing ZFPs. OKX still has point and click. Guess it's on an office-by-office basis.

Most first world countries don't tie your health care to your job as one has nothing to do with the other. Might be something worth investigating.

On the flip side, the state should have to do everything perfectly by the book and letter of the law and procedure in order to take away someone's freedom.
