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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

Reindeer sweaters.

First muggy morning here in a while, dew of 64F when I left this morning. Now 75/48, back to the chamber weather.

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.

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.”

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

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.

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.

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.

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).

NW flow likes to precipitate on Mansfield, that’s for sure. Raining now. Lots of fluffy powder in winter though.

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

A bit too many clouds up here today. Satellite looks like self-destructive Cu forming and expanding. Top terminal was in the clouds doing summer prep work, but drop out of the ceiling around 3,000-3,500ft.
