Then I have no idea what you are talking about

GFS is 10 to 15 degrees colder than the Euro with highs, hard sell

Wish we lived in Sweden

You did fine. That 850 high winds with mixing consistent signal was key. I stocked up Sunday and tried to tell all my kids and friends. Most didn't listen so we scrambled to help the ones with little kids. My grandaughter and her 2 year old just got power back yesterday. She was totally unprepared, we had a long talk and I think she learned a valuable lesson. No water is the key

I am 16 inches under my last years to date precip, 33% reduction, impressive . Very similar to 2016

Yep but don't give a shit until they can't work from home. Amazing

This old man has been screaming at the cloud since 2011 but no one has listened. We tried to tell them

Whats a lawn?

112 measured in Linn

Odd movement of planets causing Hurricanes says it all

Something happened after the storm to the forest and my garden. Don't know if was salt or wind but leaves in spots got brown quickly. Totally different look from a week ago.

Not really, one Japanese beetle. We had mosquito coils and citronella torches going. Was a great time

Fantastic night. Movie night on the deck with RI friends, holiday in RI tomorrow.

Awesome

Even some here. I mentioned it the other day. Been a wholesale change in the forest, woodlands this week. Need rain as well

The pandemic really is a non player. I watched all summer long as crews installed a couple dozen new poles on my street. They also trimmed pole side as they went along. No masks worked in groups. If the pandemic was an issue Mass and RI wouldn't have 100% power. Its an excuse. Bucket work is a one man job. These guys and gals have been working all summer. The problem is coordinating and as pointed out earlier the main employees for coordinating emergency response retired and cronies were put in. Can't wait for Marissa Gillet to kick some ass

Researchers created a test to determine which masks are the least (CNN)Schools are reopening, amusement parks are welcoming back visitors, and outdoor dining is the new way to eat out. But despite the signs that life is returning back to normal, the coronavirus pandemic has gone nowhere. That's why a group of researchers at Duke University created a simple technique to analyze the effectiveness of various types of masks which have become a critical component in stopping the spread of the virus. The quest began when a professor at Duke's School of Medicine was assisting a local group buy masks in bulk to distribute to community members in need. The professor wanted to make sure the group purchased masks that were actually effective. In the study published Friday, researchers with Duke's physics department demonstrated the use of a simple method that uses a laser beam and cell phone to evaluate the efficiency of masks by studying the transmission of respiratory droplets during regular speech. A visual aid showing how the laser beam and sheet of light work to capture respiratory droplets. "We use a black box, a laser, and a camera," Martin Fischer, one of the authors of the study, told CNN. "The laser beam is expanded vertically to form a thin sheet of light, which we shine through slits on the left and right of the box." In the front of the box is a hole where a speaker can talk into it. A cell phone camera is placed on the back of the box to record light that is scattered in all directions by the respiratory droplets that cut through the laser beam when they talk. A simple computer algorithm then counts the droplets seen in the video. Encouraging the use of effective masks Public health experts have spent months emphasizing that masks are one of the most effective tools to help fight the pandemic, and many US states have now introduced some kind of mask requirement. But when testing their effectiveness, researchers discovered that some masks are quite literally useless. Researchers tested 14 commonly available masks including a professionally fitted N95 mask, usually reserved for health care workers. First the test was performed with a speaker talking without wearing a mask. Then they did it again while a speaker was wearing a mask. Each mask was tested 10 times. The most effective mask was the fitted N95. Three-layer surgical masks and cotton masks, which many people have been making at home, also performed well. The 14 masks used in the test. Neck fleeces, also called gaiter masks and often used by runners, were the least effective. In fact, wearing a fleece mask resulted in a higher number of respiratory droplets because the material seemed to break down larger droplets into smaller particles that are more easily carried away with air.Folded bandanas and knitted masks also performed poorly and did not offer much protection.

Gonna Check back at 1800 for here,near coast not so much.

Nice slug of dry air today, should be spectacular mid 80s dews upper 50s inland from the coast

Hard sell on rain? Couple of Hot days for sure

169K still in Ct wow

Gorgeous night out at the fire pit

We put mint plants around the foundation, they spread like crazy, no ants now

We had a hurricane simulation drill when I was employed by the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation. They brought in experts from the Met community and insurance risk people. A 38 hurricane would be a 3 month outage with massive disruption to the economic flow of goods and services. Many of the recommendations like mandatory generators at gas stations and extensive utility infrastructure upgrades were never put in place.
