  1. Has a fall type vibe today. Popcorn showers (about a tenth in the Stratus), mixed with some sun at times, temps in the 60s and breezy.
  2. You don’t want to fear the drought monitor.
  3. It’s in a man’s genes to argue over how wet he can get the grass. Some worry more than others about the moisture levels.
  4. Ha. Couple good jackspot streaks through there. Even seeing some 2.00” spots in Woodstock, CT on south side of town, while my parents had very little near the Mass border in north side of town.
  5. Ha I didn’t mean to imply it’s wrong, his neighbors all get it too. Just one of those zones this spring and early summer.
  6. Damn man, you always seem to be putting up good rainfall numbers compared to the surroundings.
  7. In the end that’s what matters. Like the Red Sox, he’s got 4 championships in under 20 years when other ownerships went 86 years without one. Sure some things make you bang your head against a wall, but as long as they deliver occasional championships that other owners couldn’t, it’s hard to complain. Most sports fans would take an ownership that wins over one that doesn’t regardless of how likeable they are.
  8. Agreed. I only know the knew one and as a tall human, it’s not the best experience jamming knees against the seat in front of you, ha. 77/52 right now in the valley. Beautiful day.
  9. Yeah I never lived up here when the Expos were around but always hoped Montreal would get a team for just that reason. It’s only like 1.5 hours away, maybe a touch more. Would be nice to see MLB there.
  10. I don’t necessarily remember the old Fenway, but wasn’t there a large remodel in the 2000s? I thought they changed the seats, removed some poles, put the Monster Seats in and other changes. Don’t know exactly, just thought I remembered some renovation in like 2000-2010 time frame?
  11. Yeah, or sit at home and watch it on a 60-inch high-def flat screen from the comfort of your own couch, a grill and your own bathrooms… people wonder why ticket sales go down. Back in the day you had to go to the park to watch the game, now its a better experience in your living room, ha.
  12. It rained hard this morning. Found a clean 1.00" in the Stratus. Garden got a well deserved drink. We were right on the line... Chittenden County and west of Mansfield got dumped on. Most of that county is 1.00-2.00" water from that line of storms. Even BTV proper had 1.20".
  13. Hot one in NNE. 93F… IZG 92F… BTV 92F… VSF 91F… HIE 91F… BML 91F… MPV 91F… 1V4 90F… MVL 89F… RUT 87F… SLK
  14. After going down with a ship the size of the Titanic on Fathers Day Weekend, this is good personal growth. Sometimes we wrong and need to acknowledge it. Bravo. Congrats on the college-bound kid too. Yankees are the best team in the AL this season but they still suck.
  15. Rigged I tell ya. Keeps showing 90F on the 5-min temps and then the official comes out at :54 past the hour as 89F.
  16. Like Dendrite and Tippy were talking about, looks like a wild gradient ride on EPS and GEFS. Trying to sneak some more ridging into southern parts of the Northeast, while Canada stays cooler. Sort of like BDL is above normal while CAR is solidly below normal. You wonder if we end up gradient pattern style... it's definitely not an over-the-top heat look, ha. Could have warmer anomalies the further south and west one goes.
  17. MVL popped a 90F at 12:35pm, but given rounding of Celsius may not be legit yet. Already up 35 degrees from the morning low after a 40 degree swing yesterday.
  18. I was just up top of the Gondola at Stowe and man it felt good up there. Thermometer said it was in the upper 60s. Breeze.
  19. It all can’t be hot and it all can’t be cool. And weather varies. Need to be able to differentiate between say Fathers Day Weekend and this weekend. Both were not hot and both were not cool. It’s ok to acknowledge it was cool, now it’s hot .
  20. The easy test is to ask any member of the general public if they’ve thought June up till now was warm/hot… I think everyone knows what they’d say. They’ll remember the heat being on inside for Fathers Day Weekend. It’ll finally start changing as we are getting some actual summer weather in here. Yesterday was a +4 day up here and it was hot. 88/48 spread.
  21. It's a great vibe. Summer. Nothing very noteworthy for the time of year, but it's right on schedule. Getting into summer vibes at the end of June, when it should climo wise. Sometimes humans want to rush the changing seasons, but this year it has seemed to follow the calendar. It's time to be warm/hot for a couple months.
  22. 64/61 at 10pm while letting the dog out. Summer vibes with dews over 60F. It’s a heavy evening air, trying to fog out along the river. Probably won’t drop beyond the upper 50s. A 40-degree diurnal spread today from upper 40s to upper 80s.
  23. Right above the black roof of the HS. Just radiating heat into that sensor. Will have to keep that in mind. Be interesting if they also threw one up out in the field behind the station in the photo. Bet they could get 2-4F degree differences during daytime… maybe much more at night? 2-m over soccer field vs. 3rd story over brick building… nights would be much cooler.
  24. Someone should post the whole image itself so we all know what we are looking at. Is that Heat Index? Maxes? For when?
  25. Wow, not much of a torch there it seems.
