It’s not that nice here, the +1 goes to the north. It’s a bit more humid than yesterday but had a few sprinkles and dense overcast. Yesterday was much better.

Yeah it wasn’t much, but just enough. The 80/64 at BDL sounds about right for the type of day. Maybe it was 75/67 under the trees here in the forest? But no A/C needed, sliding doors and windows open all day… a nice Saturday.

Looks like just under 1” of rainfall back home today with 0.75 - 0.95” on Stowe PWS spots. Glad we aren’t there and are in CT. Nice afternoon swimming and grilled meats for dinner. Not a bad Saturday.

Those narrow streets packed with Italian restaurants and eateries are quite a vibe. I dig it. Got the Freedom Trail snaking through too.

We just found some place around Faneuil Hall… Oyster House or something to sit out on the street. I’m out looking for a lobster roll for lunch, ha. Chamber weather in the city. If you need to walk around the urban zone, this is the weather for it.

Yeah staying in North End, not far from the Garden. My in-laws have never been to Boston oddly enough, so quick trip then onto Woodstock, CT for the weekend. I always have liked the North End… easy walk to almost everything too.

In rare form this morning, ha… teens, snow.

Today stop you from going swimming? I’m in Boston and it’s a glorious evening in the city. This weather wouldn’t stop anyone from doing anything… except sweat. Nice evening sitting outside having a beer downtown.

We are going to the Woodstock Fair on Saturday, ha.

He is talented for sure. I just always thought it was more pop because of how it cycled through the wife’s Spotify playlist… I don’t do Spotify so not sure how it works but those songs are mixed in with her Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran, etc. It is funny, like heat and dews… 10 years ago hate it. Now at home some of that stuff she plays, I’m like damn, I don’t hate it, dare I say it’s easy upbeat music at times? 64F, heading toward mid-40s tonight.

Ha, that was one that also came on and I was digging. That’s funny. I just think of it as pop country. It cycles through my wife’s Spotify playlist.

I don’t like the old country like those guys I mentioned… but I’m down with more pop country as I get older. Luke Combs, Nate Smith, Morgan Wallen, etc. Wife had Post Malone and Morgan Wallen “I had Some Help” on the other day, and I no idea who it was and was like, I sort of dig this, ha.

Like George Strait, Alan Jackson lol. Shaboozey is played on pop radio stations. Is it also on country stations too?

That’s not what I think of when I think country music? Seems like a pop hybrid.

How long were you in the pool today? Hopefully got some good water time to enjoy it.

70/54 here at BTV. College kids back in town. Early autumn vibe.

As a friend said, when the ocean temperatures start getting hotter than the human body temperature, it can’t mean good things .

Could be here… two of those airports had dew points of 93F at one point in the past day or so. Bet those kids are in school .

I have noticed it’s a sign of the times with regards to sun angle, that we can get daytime CAA to solidly off-set insolation. This April sun angle doesn’t quite have the juice it used to. Feels like 6 weeks ago we still would’ve been able to get an afternoon of 75-80F here despite CAA.

It was 73F at 6:30am and felt like a mid-summer morning that would yield 90+ by afternoon. That came to a very abrupt end. Sun is out now and mid-60s with a breeze.

lol it’s also a product of this forum and the torch crowd vs ACATT, as we call it. It’s like a sporting event. Daytime max is 82F instead of 88F and it’s a +1 for one team despite it being plenty warm, as you said. Most of our summer is spent nitpicking points (+1s) on here for whatever your home team is. Trying to spin it as daytime highs or only nighttime lows, how to frame the discussion to meet each of our own points. Its not a hot month because the maxes were low/mid-80s when Johnny got out of school in the afternoon… no, it is a hot month because the average low in Quebec City was 70F but by then Johnny is tucked into bed in the A/C and doesn’t notice it. But his swing-set is floating by his window in a flash flood from tropical rains at the same time. Then Johnny’s parents are wondering why the electric bill is so high for a month that wasn’t hot, or was it hot? It really is a sickness .

Yeah for sure during cold season. Wasn’t thinking winter as much as current season. I was just thinking in warm season it really matters environmentally… soil temps, vegetation, insect migration northward, ticks, rainfall, humidity, cooling degree days/energy consumption, etc. All that stuff environmentally has larger implications when nights don’t cool off. Once below 32F in the winter, it doesn’t matter as much for sure. And we only care about snow. Most of our snowstorms up here result in above normal dailies.

Yup, still an above normal temp regime for the larger environment while humans act confused and try to peddle it was cold .

We did 83F here. Mid-summer average max around here, so it was summer today.

However often all it takes is the presence of a suit to attract the necessary attention. You don’t want to be named in that suit regardless. And they often settle too, to save court fees even if they have a winnable case. It’s all very nuanced though… litigation happy country ties back to health insurance and if someone is looking down the barrel at losing their home, their kids’ college funds, etc because of some accident. Thats why they started suing for the most part. To find someone to be responsible for their medical bills. Look at societies who don’t have litigation happy constituents, and their health care systems. There’s a correlation. Anyway, Mods feel free to move to banter.
