dendrite

36” annually.

Imagine a year at EWR with no 90°.

Ekster and Diane must have some stories about him too.

I don’t think he ever got his BS. Totally sucked at the math. But he had the motivation to keep pushing on as an on-air personality. Weird dude. lol

They used to F with him so much. The dude looked at it as an opportunity at NECN and the sports guys just trolled him.

OK it wasn’t a garbage can but LOL

Holy hell I miss that guy. He was a trip at LSC. I remember Mike Adams decking him with a garbage can on Sports World.

The old HTML pages were fun. Blinking animated “under construction” gifs, cloud backgrounds, clickable buttons to download Netscape. Good times!

Actually you can get all of the decadal norms here. Just swap out the numeric station IDs in the URL https://wrcc.dri.edu/cgi-bin/cliMAIN.pl?ri6698

I have CON and PWM saved from the prehistoric GYX site

You just have to search for the old normals. They’re out there. CON is +2.3 MTD. That 73.4F would’ve been a +3.9 in the 1990s.

Remember…our normals are torched now. So a +2F now (which is decently AN for summer) would be much higher back in a decade where most of us were growing up.

It’s likely coming to some extent. But we’re plenty AN between cool downs. Looks like a pattern where both sides get a little of what they want.

Any seedlings growing? I have a bunch in the yard growing here.

Fungal disease apparently https://news.wsu.edu/press-release/2023/12/12/christmas-tree-scientists-work-to-identify-manage-grinchy-fungal-foes/

Sorry kids. No Christmas this year

GFS is trying to deliver a frost/freeze to the pits of NNE.

We microburst Public Information Statement National Weather Service Gray ME 411 PM EDT Tue Jul 22 2025 ...NWS Damage Survey for 07/20/25 Thunderstorm Wind Event... Severe thunderstorms developed ahead of a slow moving cold front Sunday. One storm developed west of the Lakes Region, strengthening as it approached Danbury and Franklin, NH. The storm collapsed near Sanbornton, producing a powerful wet microburst. Observed wind damage in some pockets was consistent with estimated wind speeds of 105 mph, resulting in over 500 downed trees in the area. .Wet Microburst Wind Damage... Peak Wind (estimated): 105 mph Path Length /statute/: 2 miles Path Width /maximum/: .5 miles Fatalities: 0 Injuries: 0 Start Date: 07/20/25 Start Time: 504pm EDT Start Location: Sanbornton, NH Start Lat/Lon: 43.5023 / -71.5852 End Date: 07/20/25 End Time: 510pm EDT End Location: Sanbornton, NH End Lat/Lon: 49.4910 / -71.5502 Significant tree damage was located in Sanbornton, NH that was consistent with a wet microburst. Numerous eye witnesses expressed that the strongest winds occurred with the heaviest downpour. Damage was variable in the downburst area with a general southeast fall direction to the trees being observed. There where two distinct pockets of damage that took hundreds of trees down, to include pine, oak and maple. Trees where both uprooted and snapped. In addition, hundreds of other trees where downed on the edges of the damage area, but damage was more sporadic in nature. Some structral damage did occur, but was mostly confined to sheds and shelter structures. A few vehicles were also damaged due to trees falling on them. Additional damage was likely further in the woods, but was not accessible for the damage survey. An estimated 500 trees were either snapped or blown down in the damage area.

Yeah I expect a continuation of what we’re in now. The ridge flexes and we get a shot of big heat ahead of the next digging shortwave…rinse repeat. Probably near to slightly AN the next couple weeks with many days of lower dews.

It’s amazing he lived as long as he did.

Summer of yore on the gefs

I left the window fans on in the chicken coop last night. The 40s were real to them.

Lows this morning
