I have never contemplated the effects of firework smoke...until now!

He beer.

This would be interesting if it were to occur. HRRR suggesting some degraded air quality from wildfire smoke settling near the surface in parts of New England tomorrow. Add in firework smoke, and it could be even worse I'd imagine?

 

you’re concerned about fireworks smoke? lololol

So I drove around a lot of CON the past couple hours…mostly 96/97 on the car and it’s historically consistently 2° too warm so 94/95 matches the ASOS obs well. But there’s always a warm spot on the north end that goes up a few degrees around the 93/393 split up to about the river…basically the NHTI area. Sure enough, went through there and the car thermo went from 97 to 100 to 96 (95 to 98 to 94). There’s definitely a little heat boost in that river terrain carved out by the old Lake Merrimack.

similar driving around MHT this afternoon. a couple areas hit 99 on the car thermo, but low to mid 90’s in others

It was a pioneer clump. I check for it every year because I'm paranoid. I think I got it early enough with all roots before it could send out the rhizomes.

good luck. i have seen knotweed in my area, but not in my 'hood. but i do keep a close eye out for it. I hate the invasive crap. meanwhile, pretty much every beech tree in my 'hood is either dead or dying. sad, as I really like the look of beeches.

Took a walk along each side of the road in front of the house…

Tons of poison ivy on boths sides. Noticed some last year, but it’s nuts this year and  is now trying to work into my yard.

Tons of ragweed starting

And a 2 stalk clump of knotweed about 2ft tall

They use bottom of the barrel fill along the road and let the invasives go nuts. Then they go around with chems spraying the shit a couple of years later.

Maddening

i noticed the PI is thriving this year. i try to stay on top of it and spray it with a targeted weed spray every year (I use poison ivy killer, only targets viney stuff including oriental bittersweet), this year the plants are bigger with huge leaves.

good luck with the knotweed, there are a bunch of different removal strategies out there (most are voodoo), but unless you use ROund Up or similar, you are unlikely to succeed

Wow MEX has 3 straight days of 100° for BDL.

B2B 100s for MHT

102° for CON, TAN, and BAF

f- that. it can be hot during the work week, but Friday is a holiday and I'd like to get some yard work done without dying.

Where exactly?  Which day(s)?  Generic statements like this do not cut it these days.  The details count and the models can parse these out much better these days.

From a MSM media standpoint, it likely is going this way, "NYC is going to be very hot, so that mean *all* the East Coast is going to be a super torch."  Never underestimate the power of thinking a location is the center of the universe!

don’t waste your keystrokes responding to that troll. he does not post in good faith, never has.

someone’s gotta fix the board. I feel,like I’m on AOL dial up

Was up in CON this afternoon. talk about pound town. Over an inch of rain with pea sized hail.

6.40” in the last 26 days.

Tough way to run 

The next drought monitor should be fun. 

1.9" since yesterday, sitting at 3.5" for the month, 5" since May 29

This is a NH and NNE summer in terms of storms and rains. They always reveal themselves in June and it’s generally the same repetitive areas . Last year that was this area . 

ya because the 0.1” of rain I got earlier was so satisfying

Just had a really close CG. Just getting grazed by a developing cell. 

I hope that stuff stays east of me. Got the grill going and don’t want to stand out in the rain

whole lotta meh here. it got windy for about 5 mins, thundered once right in top of me noggin, and a quick quarter inch of rain.

mi casa is where storms go to die, but it is eerily quiet out there right now after being pretty windy earlier. hatches are battened down just in case, and yes, I am trying my best to stay safe

seems sketchy here. temp went up, DPwent up, and pretty breezy. now in a downpour. Hold me.

Trace at MHT. Epic. 

yeah that was a fail. it look promising on radar, then after about 2 mins of rain, it went pooof

One of our window units needed to be replaced so I bought one of the U-shaped Midea’s (not cheap!) the quietness of it was worth the price.  

i have one of those, the 12k version. amazing how quiet (and efficient) it is

Same areas as yesterday for storms today . Except E MA/ RI in on Seabreeze storms . Maybe it’ll finally rain Sunday night . Maybe 

wrong already. about to get a decent downpour here at MHT, which saw nothing yesterday.

We ain’t gettin’ shit. first line dried up before it got here, now it’s just humid and warm. 6-10” of pollen with lollies to 15”

I wonder if a sting or the grass. The vet just texted back saying it may be hives too. We can bring her in for 3:30. What an expensive day…$2000 to get my AC fixed and I’m sure this will be a couple hundred bucks  

you should name your dog "Boat"

bring on another thousand

Is it May 31 or March 31? this weather sucks ass. I saw the sun for about 3 minutes today, but was able to get the yard work done. Finished up just as it started raining
