Lol I do think he loves those low-60s rains. Like when I was down in July and it was raining I remember one evening responding that my wife and parents are chilly… “WTF are they drunk? It’s 62/62 and raining. It’s a magical tropical evening.”

That smoke in Tahoe has been wild. I know most of the ski areas have had to shut down all summer activities due to poor air quality. That’s a huge economical hit for all businesses in the Tahoe summer tourism season to get that in August.

Low to mid 60s north, upper 60s to low 70s south today. Crazy how the 12pm temperature here is cooler than the dew point was for most of the last week.

All ball busting aside, it felt like a humid summer. But most summer's feel humid to me and it's very hard to quantify it so we use data where we can. I would wager it may have a higher than normal number of big dews w/ heat up here. We have drier heat quite a bit in the mountain valleys, where hot days have dews in the low-60s. But in order to have healthy precip amounts (and likely some wet ground feedback into the bottom 2-meter level) this time of year, you need some Td. The recent stretch has been rough, it was full high-end summer. Sort of like winter has a minimum side, this was summer's peak IMO.

There’s certainly some room between those statements. Like a snowy winter where someone says “that was the snowiest winter we’ve lived through!” “No it wasn’t, let me show you, a few years ago there was more.” “So you’re saying it didn’t snow this year? No snowstorms at all right?”

I saved this while it was happening… pretty localized lol.

Yeah what summer was that where it was warmest ever at BDL, mostly due to Mins… 2018? That one was king I think.

75/54 Take this all day long.

Snow! Fall foliage, plenty of time outside still, maybe even more time outside without the dews the next few months. Stay positive .

It feels phenomenal out again. Upper 50s instead of that low 70s crap is a huge sensible difference.

You my man are a hero. Hats off. Dogs are the best.

Immaculate inning by Chris Sale tonight!? 9 pitches, 9 strikes, 3 outs.

Oh man just half of that house would be well north of a million here. There is one in Stowe Hollow actually that's very similar, be curious the price. I'll have to take a look for it. Not this one but talk about excessive.

Yeah the snowfall in inches may be a bit higher than down south but the snow preservation is horrific. Great area for squalls and a lot of light snowfalls, but pack building it is not, lol. The price on that place seems surprisingly reasonable for 3,300 square feet.

Today is definitely the worst. 90/69

88/72 now in the valley. Summit is bouncing 77-79F. When that hits 80F, MVL is going 90+.

86’s at 11am at BTV/MPV/MVL up here. Wow. Today’s definitely the hottest one yet.

Wow. Sox just find new and creative ways to lose. Dude was clutch last night and the opposite tonight. Lack of consistency is utterly annoying.

They win this game in the first half of the season. We'll see here.

Ha right, the mechanic just took it the next logical step of figuring out why. Good point.

Ha! Us non-car people showing why we are non-car people. No one mentioned the parking break.

Yeah that's been my objective normally for going swimming. I get if you are spending the whole day at the beach, there for 6-8 hours chilling, laying out, swimming... maybe it has it's benefits if you are going in the water multiple times for long periods of time that day. But for the "hey lets go cool off" idea, the reason is to reset your baseline to cool IMO. Getting out and feeling just as gross a few minutes later sort of makes it like what's the point? Need some of that evap cooling

Ha bingo! By the time I walked the dog back from our favorite little hole (it's same probably a 1/4 mile from the door) I was hot again. A friend and I have been putting in about 800 square feet of new flooring here yesterday and today (thanks Dogecoin spring run), and even with the AC, going in and out, saw setup outside to cut/trim, carrying old carpet to the trailer to take to the dump, carrying 5 foot planks back inside.... drenched with sweat most of the day . I like the way you phrased it, ha. I just wanted "a few minutes of goosebumps" to feel refreshed. Not stepping out of cold water to walk back in what feels like a south Georgia swamp.

Ha what?! You want to exit and end feeling refreshed. I’d pay money to get out and feel chilled. It’s not refreshing at all. Will never understand it. You head inside AC to feel cool though, seems to counter the idea that you don’t want to be refreshed, no?

I just got back from swimming with the dog and while the mountain river water is very cold, once out of the water there’s no refreshing cool feel. It actually got me thinking, most like the humidity for swimming but part of the “refreshing” part of swimming is getting out AND feeling cooled off afterward. Not getting out and then feeling just as sweaty as before lol.
