I've had the AC in since early-mid May. honestly impressive how some of you go this long without it. I just can't sleep if if the temp is over 68, and especially if the humidity is up 

Definitely a different climate.

Maybe not though? 57F at MVL and 59F at TAN.  Quite a geographical difference in terms of miles, but sometimes the temperature difference isn't that much.

Looks like comfortable temperatures for most.  It was 80/48 down that way today... that's the dream right there.  Open all the slider doors and windows wide open.  When every room has a sliding door, we live in the outside temperature.  50s at the ASOS gets chilly inside.

What kids play street hockey ?lol

I don’t know … I grew up in the 80s and 90s.  They still play basketball in the street?

Kids still playing street hockey outside in the daylight, getting yelled at to quiet down?

We all know he wants it to be 80/79 at 3am with the A/C units watering the lawn because they are spitting out so much condensation.

Who cares about night? Sunny warm swimming days 

Glad you are coming around on the nights and good sleeping weather… as long as it’s warm daytime who cares?  You are seeing the light now.

It's almost July dude, if we don't get going on it now it's not a good outlook for HHH for any point this summer.  Heat begets heat

September is often more of a summer month than June relative to temps and humidity lately.

No, you're fine...I respect when someone proves me wrong with empirical evidence, rather than just devolving it into a pissing contest.

I think it's felt that way largely because above normal in May is not *that* hot.  It's very comfortable being +3 in May.  Below normal May is like a lot of 40s and 50s.  Above normal May is a lot of 60s and 70s.

Even June up here is currently above normal but we have hit 80F exactly once in 14 days and it was just touching 80F.  So above normal departure but it's all been 60s and 70s.

The forum mentality sometimes gets taken over with "Summer starts April 15 or May 1" so above normal temperatures must be hot!  When in reality even a +5 departure in May is supremely comfortable.  If you read "summer, summer, what a summer" over and over and then are experiencing comfortable temperatures it's easy to think it might be below normal.  But some folks have expectations that aren't remotely close to climo.

Another fantastic evening.  66/48.

Saw some kelvin-helmholtz waves developing over Mansfield's ridgeline at sunset.  Pretty cool to see the waves rolling over top.

It’s a few BN .but nothing like the cold wet weekend some folks had. Assuming it doesn’t continue to moderate as we close in. ( which is likely) 

I haven’t seen one person say wet weekend… MOS has upper 60s (ORH) to mid-70s (BDL warmest at 75F) both days down there, and those are slanted towards climo.  That sounds reasonable.

Probably chilly at 1K in NE CT wouldn't you think?

Just sit and watch the temps at BDL to keep yourself warm?

Warm and muggy today. September this weekend.

First muggy morning here in a while, dew of 64F when I left this morning.

Now 75/48, back to the chamber weather.

Surface it's still 70+ in southern new England during the day

Yeah the NW flow looks to keep SNE pretty nice... 60s and 70s.

Total disaster up here though, in the 40s both Saturday and Sunday at 18z.

If it's mid-40s at 18z Sunday afternoon that's absolutely miserable.  I think it'll modify a bit though for sure.

Nice day up here getting the Gondola ready.  Summer season opens Saturday.

Models are coming into much better agreement as we
head into the weekend with a deep upper level low diving south
across the northeastern US. Did someone say June snow? Just kidding
but it does appear we could see 850 mb temperatures drop to 1-2
degrees C at the higher summits yielding a few cold rain showers.
The weekend appears to be highlighted by well below normal
temperatures with highs likely struggling to reach 70 degrees even
in the deeper valleys. By Monday, the forecast is really up in the
air as it looks like an omega block will develop with good upstream
blocking across the northern Atlantic. This will likely favor us
remaining entrenched in the upper level low with below normal
temperatures continuing into the first half of next week.

12z GFS has some pockets of 0C 850s spinning through, ha.  Probably some snow on Mount Washington.

Two different cores rotating through.

It's wild to me that it's 9:15pm and light enough outside to see the cloud cover and walk around without artificial light while having some longer range visibility... with thick overcast and -RN is occurring.  Another 10 days until clear skies give us 10pm light.

Low of 45F, high of 78F and now a light rain that probably only brings a tenth of an inch or so... but enough to take care of the garden.

Fantastic weekend.  June has been real nice so far.

“It was a fun time, but the only thing keeping it from being a great time was that the grass was about a quarter inch too long and it tickled my toes with sandals on. 9 out of 10 type day.  At least there was no light breeze.”

Popped right over the mountain here. .06 with half of it in full sun 

That’s when you start looking for the rainbow as it moves east.

DC derecho Monday night. Congrats. 

Every time it goes from idyllic partly sunny, puffy Cu day to raining I think of you .

The "it rains every afternoon" comments... I'm driving off the mountain down into town and it just starts pouring.  I'm like WTF, why is it raining.  Sure enough, blows up over Mansfield and then the WNW flow pushes it east down RT 108 to town.

546 thickness. Congrats picnic tables 

I have to look back but it was like June 12th or so like 5-9 years ago I have video of legit -SN above 3,000ft.  It’s on FB somewhere. Had to shut down the Toll Road.

Give it time 

This is the summer equivalent of early December when everyone wants it to be deep winter but normal max temps are like still in the 40s.

July and August are the January and February go-times.

You’re the guy that says .. “it’s raining.. free car wash” 

Haha I’m just busting your balls.  I’m certainly not wiping my SUV down daily over some pollen though.  My pollen OCD is the porches and decking.  I’ll sweep and clean daily.  I’ve never been anal about car cleanliness.

OCD- Excessive thoughts (obsessions) that lead to repetitive behaviors (compulsions).

At least it reminds you of why the skiing is so good there.

NW flow likes to precipitate on Mansfield, that’s for sure.  Raining now.

Lots of fluffy powder in winter though.

Vermonters praying for easterly flow so they can get a tan.

Those days honestly seem the best, ha.  50F and low clouds coastal plain and it’s 75F and sunny out here.
