I mean we’ve heard for years the NE Hills are magical. The sunny lawns are torched pretty good. I don’t see much evidence of trees/vegetation wilting but it looks like N.CT (even north of Kev) along the Mass line has gotten lucky a few more times. My uncle has to water at least somewhat, haven’t talked to him as it’s a shared family area but it’s like Augusta National all along the shore. Gets a lot of afternoon shade too.

Yeah I’d say a foot or so. My uncle has to water this lawn… there’s not a blade of dead grass anywhere. Looks like Stowe lol.

What a day in CT. Lush.

This is full summer. Tolland STEM says -27F dew point but it feels a bit more humid than that to be honest. 83F in the shade in North Woodstock but has to be 70F dews.

We also live in a technological age where we all hear about these things all over the globe on a moments notice. The connectivity plays a huge roll. Hell mountainsides in remote ranges have been calving off with rockslides and landslides since the dawn of time… now we literally have first hand cell phone video of them happening like within hours on social media. No weather or geological event goes unnoticed by potentially hundreds of millions of people anymore… when even in the 1990s and 2000s you may never of heard of it happening. Do not discount the current connectivity of the world. A small village in the middle of nowhere gets smoked and there’s cell phone footage now.

Speaking of drought… the world’s third largest river (Yangtze in China) and drying up are probably not phrases we want to hear. Even 50% less water in the world’s 3rd largest river is pretty noteworthy I’d think? Seeing as they use a huge amount of hydropower, that probably isn’t a warm fuzzy feeling.

Our winters now are probably what Jacksonville used to experience before the Industrial Revolution.

Thompson Dam was ridiculously low. That thing is like earth islands between large puddles. Never would’ve known half of that stuff was there under the surface. Saw some folks like walking on the bed surface that’s usually like 4-5 feet of water.

You’re starting to lose your mind, lol. You sound like your about a year away from living in Florida. What happens in a week? Pattern change?

It is hot in CT this afternoon, that’s for sure. ”It’s not the heat, it’s the humidity.”

Then in the spring when Lake Champlain is 38F and everyone else is in the 70s and the Islands/South Hero is 47F… that’s when it really shines.

Foliage or first freeze?

Charts.

Playing tomorrow afternoon before the rest of the family shows up. Looks like a warm one tomorrow with rising humidity?

It's the right time to embrace it for sure. Summer weather on lake time. Days are relaxed and easy, no work, no shoes, floating around with a Julius. Time to make the most of heat and humidity. The Woodstock Fair on Labor Day weekend too. Entire immediate family will be there all week too... plus extended family that also summers there. Should be a good time. Looking forward to some time down there.

I’m coming down your way tomorrow for a full week through Labor Day. Gonna have to embrace the swamp ass of NE CT.

Nah, 3:45pm 82/55 is Chamberiffic.

81/57 How you draw it up.

9:05pm… 55/54 Definitely feels early for mid-50s. Also tonight was the first night it really hit me that it’s pitch black prior to 9pm. It’s dark by 8pm, such that being outdoors by ambient light is done by then. Twilight is much shorter, none of this lingering light until 10pm. You need to be home or have an artificial light source by 8pm. Temps radiate much quicker too. Temp and dew can meet much earlier in the evening.

Extends the great outdoor weather deep into fall for sure. Tries to stave off the miserable days of highs in the 50s for as long as possible.

It’s just a couple days earlier now. Full chamber cool today. Max of 73F in the valley. Upper 60s to 70F at 1500ft most of the day. Beautiful evening for hoodies and shorts up here. 64F at 7pm in the valley.

We BTV? Of course up this way will do cooler with NW flow. You downslope so could see it much warmer for sure. “Winds are expected to shift northwesterly late Wednesday into early Thursday, and a true cooldown is anticipated for Thursday`s highs, which are in the upper 60s and lower 70s. Friday and into the weekend, high pressure is forecast to regain control and keep things dry and seasonable. &&”

Yeah still looks swampy south of BDL-BOS line. Still some pooling in SW ME too.

Yeah looks to warm back up above normal heights as early as Sunday.

"Cooler" shot for Labor Day weekend?
