High of 79F and afternoon dew got down to 45! Been a while since we’ve felt mid-40s dews on a warm sunny day. Clear skies tonight and with the afternoon dews I bet we get 40s for a min. That shouldn’t be noteworthy but these days in the growing Hadley Cell it is. We still water up here in the desert. Man is amazing for inventing this circular thing with forced water through it. We can put humans on the moon and bring water to where it needs to be.

I’ll be down in the swamp there next week. Heading down Monday evening I think. Hoping it’s nice enough to get a couple rounds of golf in with the old man.

Full sun. 75/52. Dry air up here in the NNE desert. Bottle this up, heading towards 10/10 status if we can hit 80F with these dews.

Chamber of Commerce. Low of 51F, now CLR skis and 68/53. Beauty. Not a cloud in the sky, dry. Great day to wander the mountains then play some golf.

That’s more rain in 24 hours than we’ve had in a month I think. Awesome anti-Stein. Enough water to last through next summer. You knew it was coming after a couple dry summers. We don’t do drought well.

Where is this in E.CT? Can you float it in a tube? Is it a rafting spot? A 3-hour float sounds pretty sweet. Going to have to google some images of this place.

Good example of why it’s hard to run long term drought in New England.

It’s going to eat us all after frying us.

That’s all? The heavier swath seemed right through you. I saw MPV with almost an inch.

Facebook reminded me of this 4 years ago... so guess the snow pile made it at least this far 4 years ago. July 9th, not bad.

You can see the sleet washing out there in southern Middlesex County as those deep cellular reds transition north to more smooth yellow echos… oh wait, tropical storm not winter.

Around ~0.80” rain overnight. A good soak for Steinland and great timing all overnight. Sun breaking out again this morning.

It’s finally raining with some authority. Took a while today to get going.

Ha was just coming to post the same thing. 6.81” for Weymouth?

1) I hate that even this post gives them more clicks and therefore revenue. I contributed to telling them to write more of these articles by clicking on it. 2) This is capitalism at it's finest. Everything and anything to earn a dollar. More clicks/$$$ for CNN and then a money grab by Pfizer. It even says that "While protection against severe disease remained high" that "a decline in efficacy against symptomatic disease over time and the continued emergence of variants are expected." "Pfizer and BioNTech believe that a third dose may be beneficial within 6 to 12 months following the second dose to maintain highest levels of protection." Pfizer basically says that your chance of ending up in a hospital or dying (severe disease) is extremely low, but you may get the sniffles at some point. If you want the highest levels of protection (this sounds like a sales pitch for a McAfee or Norton computer anti-virus software), we recommend upgrading to the Gold Package which includes a booster shot. Capitalism at it's finest, selling you stuff you likely don't need with a solid PR campaign.

Yup, it's all about people dying. I mean if you want to go conspiracy theory and say a variant comes along and starts killing people en mass again (like NYC hospitals in March/April type stuff), then sure masks could come back. But at that point you are just talking about another pandemic which is extremely unlikely odds.

The real question is, if Epstein continues complaining about too much rain in his garden, does the Stein phrase change to mean too much rain?

Do tropical storms have “mid-level magic”? Asking for a friend.

Wind was blowing pretty hard out of the SW above 3500-4000ft this afternoon up this way at the treeline… while down in the low lands east of the Spine the flow still has some easterly component to it. I think you mentioned how shallow it was and seemed like 3,000ft thick layer, I’d say that was about right. Wind was steady SW up high in the clouds.

Oh I thought you said lock down, like full stay at home. Masks? Sure I could see any number of states going that route if people start dying again. Our Republican gov would just follow other states’ leads in the northeast to be honest. He lifted everything back to normal faster than many states too. I just think of lockdown as the “Stay at Home” time. That ship sailed.

Yeah @J.Spin I forget you lived out there in Montana. I do think half of my desire for that weather is yearning for what friends show out there… just dry trails and sunshine all the time. Love those diurnal swings, big fetish. But you’re right, maybe if it did that every single day for months on end it doesn’t seem that interesting. I think it’s likely only interesting around here because it’s not the norm. It is definitely a showery climate. Maybe it’s truly a “grass is always greener somewhere else” type thing (or not green but dead and dusty)…. I still hope to live out there at some point and see it.

Oh you were serious? Ha I thought you were trolling and laughing.

Highest vaccination rate in the country. It’s over.

I picture some copy writer pulling their hair out while yelling “stop clicking and sharing this! I’m so sick of writing this crap but ya’ll keep clicking, copying, pasting. Even by mocking this ya’ll are feeding it and making them have me write more low-grade COVID shit. They don’t care why you click on it, as long as you do.”

This thread is my source of news. Without some of you guys I’d have no idea how the outside world was so messed up lol. Its also the only time I’ve heard of any of these variants or COVID in weeks it seems, ha.
