been there, did that back in late April

saw a nice shelf cloud move in yesterday afternoon, but the good stuff 7-10 split us. Oh well I settled for 1/2” of rain in an hour

I came across this snapping turtle on the side of the main road by the entrance of development where I reside and tried to pick it up to help it cross the road, but it wasn't having it so it snapped at me. I gave up after a couple attempts and then decided to let it cross on its own as it was not worth risking a finger or worse. Fortunately, it made the trek safely without any further intervention from me, but this was one mean turtle! I've picked up other turtles in the past to help them cross the road before and they'd just hide in their shells, but not this one. Luckily he didn't bite a finger off. 

snappers are nasty little basturds. i grew up near a swamp, they used to come out of the swamp to lay their eggs in peoples mulch beds. biggest one i saw was close to the size of a manhole cover. when i touched it, it snapped at me. It's neck came almost halfway back to its tail. I haven't been near one since.

At one point MHT ripped off 1.43" in 41 minutes I think. Also 0.18" in 3 min too I believe.

oh, that is impressive! Looks like CON had a 0.19" hour. 

seriously though, pretty impressive gradient in that 15-20 miles.

MHT had 2.30" 8A-2P, and were reporting TS at 4.  Probably some fun there. 

If Lava Hill got only 0.23", radar over my place indicates considerably less.  Hope that line cooking up by the frontier can add something.

MHT had that much? CON is showing 0.33" in that same timeframe.

Currently 66F here with 90F in S NH. Feels great.

Are you from the future? like 8 hours ahead of the rest of us?

Just so we have verifiable evidence to support this. 

i can’t wait to tell my future grandkids about being 1-2 degrees below normal

American Weather Forums is a social media outlet that came into existence because of a 'quasi' hostile schism among founding philosophies of those individuals that created the now defunct (or is it..?) Easter Weather Forums.

Eastern's attraction by users was for a love of weather experiences, science, and the sharing of ideas. 

American'  loves the idea of profitizing off of weather experiences, sciences and the sharing of ideas. 

I'm curious: Why did that splintering actually cause Eastern forum's demise?  Why didn't Eastern merely move on with it's original paradigm in tact?  There must be a story/truth in there. 

i am not sure anyone is making a profit here, but i could be wrong

Drove through a downpour in MHT earlier. Temp dropped from 99 to 79 instantly. Then it sauna-ed.  gross

glad you made it. safe travels 

thanks. walking across the alewife brook parkway in cambridge is kind of like playing Frogger, even if you do have the walk signal. i think the hot weather makes people even more insane than they already were.

just walked across the street to get lunch. hot as balls.

my dewpoint sensor on my pws is wacked. an hour ago it had a temp of 90 (accurate) with a dewpoint of -9, with a heat index of 135. if the dewpoint really was -9, i am pretty sure my skin would crack and fall off my bones in about 20 seconds.

you can feel (and smell) the sea breeze here in Cambridge. the sun is blazing, but that little breeze helps a bit.

American chestnut trees arrived looking a little stressed after 2 days of shipping. Does anyone know what the little red dots on the leaves here are?

herpes?

there is def. a lack of water going on. hard to tell about fert without seeing it and knowing how much or what you put down. either way, a decent amount of rain today should help quite a bit. unfortunately with that slope, heavy rains are just going to runoff and not drain into the soil. but every little bit helps.

1.4" in the month of May. could possibly double that just today. as of this AM, up to 2.8” in June

That front meant business, for about 10mins. Lost a fairly large maple tree, split about 30’ up

yeah lava you need water, and plenty of it. new grass will die off quickly with lack of water. you didn't have a wet fall, and spring has been quite dry since mid-April. can you install irrigation off of your existing well? 

informative? hardly. i couldnt get past this (bolded emphasis mine):

Americans devote 70 hours, annually, to pushing petrol-powered spinning death blades over aggressively pointless green carpets to meet an embarrassingly destructive beauty standard based on specious homogeneity. We marvel at how verdant we manage to make our overwatered, chemical-soaked, ecologically-sterile backyards. That’s just biblically, nay, God-of-War-ishly violent.
