Yikes.

Man, the woods and lake in Woodstock is always the worst spot for them to me. Walking dirt roads in NE CT and those horse flies will try to carry you away. Now they are moving up here, ha.
-
Yes, been noticing that. Often don’t have much issue up here with them (not like down in CT) but this year they are everywhere and on you immediately.
-
Look at that wave of moist air. But no biggie… They took a core sample of a very first snowmobile ever made along the Quebec and Maine border and found the engine rings indicated these dews and temps were quite common back in the early 1900s.
-
I mean, regardless of the causation, all evidence points to one thing… Warmth. In all regions. The momentum is too much to fight, so you just go with it.

Our recent experience the past few years (or decade) makes those type of departures seem mundane. Summer departures have historically been significantly lower in variance than winter departures, though. We seem to rattle off +4 to +8 departures in the cold season like it’s no biggie. In the warm season those departures are all-time records. I remember when +2 in July was a hot month. Now it’s a baseline. Our first week of July at MVL is +4.7.

118/21 is hard to wrap one’s head around. It’s so ridiculously hot. But the dew is 21F. 3-4% RH is hard to fathom for us NE folks.
-
Yeah for sure, totally get it. I’ve just always associated my “real feel” to whatever the nearest ASOS dews are. It’s definitely higher where I am (not on an airstrip) but it’s my personal barometer.
-
I know it’s real in the yards with PWS, but I want those high dews at an ASOS. If I experience like mid-80s dews, my barometer is that it’s from an official station. It just hits differently. If an ASOS is well into the 80s, your home station would probably like 88F .
-
I would like to experience an 86F Td at some point in my life… for like an hour or so.
-
Hoping the GFS is more right and it keeps sinking southward.
-
Yeah we got down to 64F last night and the dews are down about 5F from yesterday so far today. But instead of sauna it’s now just humid.
-
Won’t lie, it was something to feel. Took a good 45 minute walk with the wife and dog along the Quiet Path (no bikes, all dogs allowed off leash, along the river)… it was a literal sauna out in the valley cornfields along the waterway. The wet ground, standing water in areas (forest and fields), and soil soaked deep just pumps the low level moisture levels. It was a sauna outside today.

84/72 is pretty gross up here.
-
18” here since April 1st. Just over 10” since June 1st.
-
Another 0.75” last night to keep the mushrooms happy.
-
That has to be leading to acute flash flooding. That’s insane, road washouts? That’s Armageddon status in New England. 5+ rainfall in short order.
-
Beer. No way you are sober right now . Friday night in the summer, it’s the time to let it loose.
-
Yeah, it bothers me too. So much that I’ll take the extra step to change the link to Twitter.com in my phone’s Notes and then copy/paste to get them to show up. MVL hit 90F up here it looks like. Mixed out with slightly lower dews (64-65F) than down south but got a couple extra degrees on the high as a trade off.
-
It came through as a link. Did you see the tweet on your post?
-
Look at your link. The x.com after https. I tried to change Ken’s in the quote but it didnt work in the quoted. I think you need to change it before you paste the link in. Like if I copy that and put it in Notes, change it to Twitter.com, copy and paste that in here then it’ll embed. It has to do with the X.com vs Twitter.com.
-
Replace the x.com with Twitter.com.
-
True, I wouldn’t think it’d be more than 10”, including ZR/IP.
-
Wasn’t a chunk of that snow while yours was rain?
-
It is hot outside. Hotter than I was expecting.
