Just soaked through and through. Dripping for the whole two hours. Need to rehydrate. Beer.

Saw 88/72 at MVL for probably the most uncomfortable reading. Did the two-hour hike to the picnic tables and back with the dog between 4-6pm. Just got home and holy shit that heat takes it out of you. I’m smoked. Its great for swimming but just about anything else it’s a tough go of it. Golfing, hiking, mountain biking, evening softball league, etc… could all use a bit more COC. The mini-splits though are a game changer. Can’t believe we used to try to cool with the noisy units. Now it’s dead calm and quiet and a dry 68F inside. Feels like central air.

Yeah I love ORH too for displaying what being on a hilltop vs valley at the same elevation means. Up this way you can hit 90F to 1500ft a few times because it’s low terrain relatively. 1000ft around here vs 1000 at ORH is definitely completely different climo. Radiate and torch, vs the hilltop version of the same elevation.

Nice. 3 times here so far.

Kids happy to be outside finally?

Every time I step outside these days I think of you. It’s almost disturbing. Outdoor recreation times have been skyrocketing. Usually takes 60 minutes to hike 2,000 verts, these dews it’s now 70-75 minutes.

This is legit. 90/66 up here.

82/70 to 63/61 at MVL. There has been a distinct difference in "real feel" this evening following the storms. It was high-end summer evening feel and now is like run-of-the-mill warm season night.

That is insane. Natural and artificial fireworks. What a shot.

Same here. Rain ended. Town of Stowe fireworks display launches right over our backyard. The noise is deafening, but it is the vibrations that are crazy when our back steps are this close. The dog survived another year too... just a bit of trembling right after. It has to sound like the world is ending to the animals. But it passes. Happy Fourth to the crew here.

Another 0.40” or so in this latest thunderstorm. Stratus up around the 0.70” mark on the day. Made it about 7 hours without raining.

Nobody appreciates property damage like this forum. No damage some flexseal can’t fix based on the videos.

It would literally take only like 4 dry days in a row for folks to be like “he’s creeping back, there’s a patch of lawn that’s not neon green…”

Yeah we got a quick third of an inch this morning and then most of the day has been ok. Wondering about fireworks though as a line of SVR Warned is entering Champlain Valley. Hopefully this stuff can die down.

That’s what it was, I was trying to place my finger on it. The bubbling look to the Cu but pretty consistent bases. Very clear and defined without the haze that 70 dews often bring.

It’s oppressively humid even up high.

A quick 0.30” to keep things moist.

Torrential rain. These little suckers pack some water.

81/70 at 10:30am is pretty damn high end. Good lord that’s a steam bath outside. Had a brief few drops of rain and hearing distant Thunder to the north. But sun is out and the ASOS dews are 70F.

Crushed. My folks a mile south of the CT/MA border in Southbridge just getting raked. If you are on Lebanon Hill Rd you are right there too. These dews lead to heavy rainfall rates.

That’s some solid rainfall. Probably 5-weeks worth.

Yeah just went to BOX and looped it, that looks like a direct rain hit going up 84. My folks said they got hit solidly last night in Woodstock but nothing during the day. Wonder if it makes it that far NE tonight. CT on the whole looks to be getting a great drink this evening into tonight.

Ahh interesting. That’s my time of reference too, as a kid in the 90s. I feel like we’d go in the summer and it’d be like 59F at Misquamicut or if it was 64F my dad would be pumped. @Ginx snewx can probably clarify if that’s just my mind playing tricks on me from 25 years ago.

That’s impressive. Not sure why I thought it really struggled to get over 70F. Hasn’t been that hot either.

That seems warm for the Atlantic up there but I have no idea. I feel like we used to go later in August and it’d be like 65F even then.
