It’s always the places you least expect it, ha. Guess McDonalds might qualify as a coffee shop though.

Thats solid.

Never ending river of moisture from Chicago westward... just waves of water on that run. Of course it's an OP run but if you run it out, its hard to find an entirely dry 24 hour period in New England for like two weeks. It's not raining everywhere all the time but there's QPF spit out somewhere every single day in the region.

Guess there is a boundary in place. Near 90F at CON but 55F in the St Lawerance Valley of NY.

Chilly day. Hadn't really been paying attention that it would be like this. Dry but chilly. 64/55

If it gets too high you won’t see the bear scat piles to avoid . I’m still dying at your “lawn farmers” comment…. But in all honesty it goes back to last summer where it’s plenty green in lawns. If a lawn can’t survive on 3-4”/month, someone is using the wrong grass seed in New England.

Yeah and the funny thing is no one seems to want it to rain. It’s always about getting a dry day in without any interruptions. Tourists are out and about when it’s dry. Town and mountain have been slammed so far, welcomed after last year. Traffic can be annoying at times but it’s economically good. The vacation recreation vibe has led to this “no rain” mentality I think… people are used to showery shitty weather being the norm I think. Just enjoying this utopia of dry days and if it rains it’s at night. This will end, it’ll rain for days at some point.

Only 1.5" here this week but looks like there's more moisture chances coming. As I get older I've started despising warm season rain. It's still a tug-of-war a bit but I can't explain it. I love being outside at every chance possible during the longer daylight hours and rain seems to hinder that. I feel like a retiree wanting to be in Arizona or something... just dry, sunshine, and long daylight. Maybe we deal with too much cold season cloud/showery stuff and it alters my perception this time of year, but right now I want to be outside in shorts and t-shirt wandering around in the hills. I'm already semi-hoping the modeled rain in the next few days is diminished or not as steady/sustained. Can easily see the wet zone since July 1st.

Yeah haven't seen any around here. Did a lot of errands in BTV the other day and not a one. Like we talked about before, the last places I saw masks required were gas stations while driving to/from BOS in a couple of the S. NH towns that seemed to just let their mandates be running out and not fighting it. I think Dendy said Lebanon was the last one in NH to require masks, also happens to be a huge shopping district with box stores and stuff so people noticed.... but that was all city/town gov't stuff not individual businesses. Tippy's posts is the first I've heard of an actual business doing it on their own.

That stuff fell with surgical precision. Piled nicely and neatly for the homeowner. I won't lie, the entire time I wanted the wheelbarrow to flip over.

Start there, can always adjust up if need be. That phrase makes me miss winter storm banter. How much rain did you have all JJA last summer?

It got hot/humid in a hurry with the sun today. Like 84/69 type in the valley. Waited until 6:30 to take the dog out this evening… hazy hazy hazy. Nice breeze up here and a bit cooler now that it’s after 7 and shadowed on this upper east side. Definitely a summer evening. Looks like some heavy rain chances up here later this week, get that time outdoors now.

I figure it was like some sort of body odor that humans can’t smell but can inhale. If an alien was present, you had a super-spreader event. If they weren’t, nothing happened. It would explain the differences in why some large gatherings proved exceptionally efficient at spreading it, while other gatherings saw zero effect.

Plot twist, the aliens knew we found out about them and most of them left Earth for the time being. COVID was what you contracted if an alien got near you.

The two-week GFS map cracked me up. Rainforest coming to New England everywhere SE of a line from the Maine Coast down to NJ. The area that sticks out into the ocean.

53F this morning to 78F this afternoon. As BTV called it in the morning AFD: Rest of area in great shape with a classic summer time North Country Chamber of Commerce weather day anticipated.

Especially with a foot and a half of rain the past couple months… those backyard stations are situated in a rainforest now lol.

Wow. “NHL goalie killed by chest trauma from mortar blast.”

Non stop explosives. Have been smelling it for the past half hour. People love lighting shit on fire .

Happy 4th to all! Every year we get the best fireworks right in our backyard. The town launches the bombs right over our house. Hard to beat this 20-minute display literally in the backyard... despite the dog thinking the world is ending. Back porch view.

I mean we literally live underneath the town's fireworks. The picture frames rattle. Definitely not a dog owner. It's all good. One night a year.

Yeah weak take. They have no idea what's going on. Hats off if your dog runs towards it with teeth snarling.

My wife stayed with the dog in the bathroom with a fan on. She's hated it for all 6 years of her life. Thinks its WWIII happening. Just shaking and panting. The vibrations and noise crush her. Thunder doesn't bother her but the constant barrage of fireworks gets her extremely anxious, like a panic attack.

Just busting your ballz. A half foot of rain in 4 days, that’s like 6 weeks of rainfall!

Is that a 6.31" just north of Tolland? You owe the models an apology . Hope you get some sun out there on the Cape today for the 4th.
