  1. Yeah. The one our friends used was a big wooden box painted black inside with a glass front and black plastic pipe that ran back and forth in the box. Passive other than the pump used to move the water. The our friend’s dad (who we are also friendly with) built it. He is very handy and self sufficient
  2. Some friends of ours in town used to have a house with an indoor pool. They had a solar grid they would pump water through to heat the pool. It was nice My dad had panels that did that for our domestic water at my family’s house back in the late -1970s. It was horrendous for that.
  3. Some friends we know bought a heat pump heater. Electric. Does a nice job but uses a ton of electricity. It would more than double our monthly electric bill. I’m fine with the blanket. I need to make some brackets for it to rest on
  4. 82F for my high. Was hotter yesterday (84). But a warm one to be doing yard work. Pool is up to 78F though. Solar blanket ftw
  5. 77/66 here. High of 84 I was actually able to see some students in my building today as they cleaned out their lockers. It would have been toasty teaching in person today. Remote learning has that one advantage. AC and a pool at the ready
  6. This dry weather has really helped with the mosquitos. My lawn (such as it is) isn’t burnt yet but I have seen some that have. Cool nights. Nice days. Some heat to come
  7. 46F low. We done. We torch upcoming. We summah
  8. Wachusett still has a pile of snow today
  9. C-/D+ for me Close to average seasonal totals 70” Avg prob 72-75” Lack of cold Barely dropped below zero One really good event (really two back to back) in early Dec. 25”. 30” for the month. But after that it was incredibly dull for 3 months April and even May were a bit fun
  10. BOX Zone forecast for my area has highs on Sat/Sun in the 70s. Point n click gets me 87-90 Thurs-Mon. Weird.
  11. 44F low. Three in a row in the 40s to start Hot and dewy
  12. Not really. I did have one bonk the same window twice in a row back in April. I'm typically not home so much either. We did put in a hummingbird feeder a couiple of weeks ago and it's been friggin awesome. They love those. We usually do well with hummingbirds just from our flowers but I never would see them perch.
  13. When can we expect summer to start? It is usually around June 21st so that seems pretty much on schedule
  14. 75F in Lancaster when we got ice cream. 68F here. Bring the heat. Please. I was promised heat and that was a fail.
  15. 49F here already. Dew is 42 so I don’t think we tickle the 30s. But chilly for mid June
  16. 82F / 49F This is pretty amazing
