It's hard to sustain the necessary bubble of warmth when winds are really whipping, otherwise the cold doesn't faze them. I think I missed my evening cigar a total of three times last winter. Which has been nice for sure, but isn't great for the long term implications of that particular habit

I've been happy with the $130, 48,000 btu upright units from BJ's. Easy to assemble and my first two have survived three winters of near daily use, although I did have to replace one thermocouple last year... quick fix
-
I was a little surprised too to have managed that even with a bit of low-level flow all night... although 38 was, in fact, the low. Love those first mornings in the 30s when the steam billows off lakes and ponds. Also gonna pretend I didn't see bx's post. edit: I lied, 37.4 is the daily minimum
-
Well, already down to 38 with potentially another hour to go. Chilly.

Albany P&C takes me to 39 tonight. Should be semi-interesting to watch as conditions look okay but not excellent for radiating. If there's a light breeze in the morning as modeled, that could really thicken up the fog over the river and make for some impressive sunrise views.
-
Yeah, that evolved into quite the soaker. Looks like I'm gonna be in it for a while yet... ~0.6" so far
-
Not much rain here either, just enough to screw with garden cleanup for the day. Some nice thunder to set the mood, though
-
Felt like a summertime mow today. Eyes clogged with dust, grass tall and green, sun beating down.
-
Stormy evening out there... could be the last one until Christmas Eve

Approximately 30% of my social media feeds is now photos of Franconia Notch. Autumn officially begins when that proportion reaches 50%, it's coming.

46 for a low today. I just noticed that July 2020 was the last month here without a low in the 40s.

Dodging Santas and reindeer while mowing this year

I saw a handful on September 14th this year, which is the latest here since I started paying close attention about 10 years ago.
-
The mozzies are unbearable this month. Every walk to the car is like running the gauntlet.
-
That's one slender watch.
-
Nobody needs excessive heat ever, but also it's too early for sweaters and knit caps. We spent most of the summer holed-up inside, seeking refuge from record humidity. A month of pleasant warmth is fair.
-
Boxed water hasn't caught on at all around here. I had assumed that was true everywhere. Haven't tried it personally, so no judgement on taste vs plastic, although plain water is just a bummer to start with.
-
It's not far off. Something like 2/3 of bottled water is just tap water from whatever municipality the bottling plant is in.

I don't know why California can't figure this out, it's so simple
-
Oh, I always test an ear in the field before harvesting. It's excellent that way, although I do find the flavor even better baked or grilled. Have been using it raw in salsas and salads.
-
Growing sweet corn this year was one of the best decisions I've ever made. So, so much better than store-bought, even from local sources. When you snap an ear off the stalk and bake it within the hour, it's like eating caramel.
-
One day this summer I got stung by a wasp, but it was ok because I had some watermelon on one of the other days.
-
I was leery of the drops splashing on my face to be honest. 200 sqmi of suburban storm runoff all funneled into one channel... yummy.
-
Fishkill Creek just above discharge into the Hudson was pretty nuts this morning. Even before 7 am there were lots of gawkers and looky-loos (I, on the other hand, was doing serious research, and likely saving lives as well.)

I hit 49 on 8/3. #winning
