3rd straight 2pm in late May with rain and 40s

51° +SHRA About the 10th downpour separated by sun in the last 4hrs.

@Ginx snewx This thing has already put on a foot this year…more than any other tree I have. After years maybe it’s finally done with the taproot.

Yeah some periods of sun with popcorn showers in between. In a SHRA currently. 53.5° so far is a win!

Spitting rain despite patchy thin blue sky. Antistein is determined.

46° -SHRA Hopefully we can get to 50° for the first time since Wednesday

Sorry to hear that. We rib you, but we know how much you care for those dogs. I took a peek at the hickory the other day and couldn’t believe how much it grew in the past few weeks despite the shat weather. I’ll get a pic for you in a bit.

And oh yeah, 990ft in Tolland…

Actual numbers ORH 43R CON 47R BOS 48 PVD 48TR BDL 49TR PWM 49 BTV 53 As bad as that 43° was at ORH they pulled a b2b 41° and 42° 5/25-26 in 1967.

Those Ditty parties are wild. Especially when he brings out the oak dongs.

45.7° Can we hit 50° today????

There’s a few in there that are controversial. But you know how it goes. Some studies say bad…some say inconclusive. Some experts say bad…some say don’t worry. I’m an au naturel guy so I try to avoid most chemicals to begin with. There’s a lot we don’t know about the body and long term effects so I don’t normally like to be preaching too much. Everyone has to do their own research and make the best choices for themselves. MAHA and RFK can f off though.

We evolved with the sun. We need the sun. We need to make that vitamin D. But it’s just a matter of not overdoing it. Killing skin cells isn’t good. I would wear it if I had to be in the sun for awhile…beach, game, etc. I used to laugh at those tanning beds that claimed you could get a tan without a burn. They’re essentially just UVA. The wavelengths are longer and go deeper into your skin versus UVB. The UVB does faster damage to the surface skin, but your body quickly gets the signal and tells you to gtfo of the sun. The UVA is different and leads to a lot of those deeper melanoma cases. That’s why truck drivers get skin cancer on their left side often…the side window glass blocks UVB but not UVA.

Sunscreens in general are pretty bad. The better ones no one wants to use because you literally cover yourself in paste. But yeah, getting scorched for hours isn’t good either. Covering up or knowing when to get shade is best, but you can’t always do that…just gotta do what works best for you.

Maybe but after only 1-2” SE NH/NE MA will be back to D0.
