Yeah I just don’t get it. Kids can still play on it, soccer balls roll just as well (though I doubt DIT lets anyone near it)… who cares what color it is except OCD folks. Functionally it does the same thing, gives space for kids to play, aside from that lawns are useless. Give me a meadow, attract some animals.

Oh you mean the oak tree in the back?

Looks like grass in that photo. Was expecting cactus to be sprouting up.

They look like they have a nice patio... looks like a cool brewery. Had never heard of them, had to look it up. No beer here until this evening.

Not sitting outside on the patio, enjoying the weather?

All the vacationers up here at the mountain keep going “ok, now time to find some air conditioning.” Nothing like summer weather that makes you want to go inside.

BTV already on the COC watch next week. “Cold front should be through by Friday with high pressure gradually moving east from the Great Lakes for a Chamber of Commerce day with sunshine, light winds and temperatures in the 70s and Friday night lows in the 40s/50s. &&

86/72 is pretty impressive for 11:30am up here. Need the afternoon terrain Cu towers to try and block some insolation.

50s would feel like it's about to snow after this heat.

It feels like a steam bath outside right now. Thick, heavy air. 70/66.

Reverse psychology always works wonders. Less than 24 hours later a deluge and gully washer.

79/72 It's not hot but boy is it humid.

I try not to talk about to avoid it sounding hollow, but it’s been drier than normal here. Its like in winter when everyone is having a bad snow year… though you are closer to normal while some folks see record low totals over a period of time. Can’t complain up here when you see what’s happening elsewhere. Today we got skunked though. Cloud deck and lack of heating limited instability. Just a brief enough shower to wet the pavement at the mountain. Nothing in town.

30s and 40s?

Summer precip foot prints are wild. One place can wait 4 months to get what another can rain in 90 minutes. Luck of the draw.

I’ve got my father wigging out over the sump pump ha. Closest station there at 4”. Some approaching 5”?

And there’s stuff behind it if it moves out. Every 15 min is like another inch of water. 3.50-4.50” town wide now. Some legitimately may go over 6” with the stuff coming in behind that.

My hometown of Delmar is getting soaked. Cells just sitting there and back building. Might see 3-6” of rain to be honest. Just not moving at all.

This is like a nor’easter… left out of it . Rotting 80-82F up here.

Hudson Valley has 95-98F. Your 97F could be right.

Damn. That’s some T/Td combo right there.

That summer was so hot in 1873 that Abigail had to bathe more than once a week for the first time in her life. Thy stench supported sustained dews above 70F.

Been a minute since we’ve seen any Stein, Noyes, or Fisher tweets. Nice to see those back.

To be honest I didn’t follow it much, just going with the NWS forecasts.

78F at noon up here. Forecast going down in flames at this point. Forecast max HI here was 96F for today with max temps 89-92F. .NEAR TERM /THROUGH FRIDAY/......Significant updates made to cloud cover for the remainder of the day which has a large impact on the expected temperatures. Mid clouds ahead of a surface boundary to our northwest raced into the region much faster than preciously anticipated blanketing most of the CWA in broken to overcast skies outside of southern Vermont and the central/lower Connecticut River Valley. This has put a halt on surface warming with many locations holding in the mid/upper 70s. Based on these trends and incoming HRRR/RAP/NAM guidance, knocked back high temps across northern areas by a good 3-5 degrees
