Tanner Houck was just optioned back to Worcester they announced 5 min ago… whoa. The dude has been dealing. Likely to free up a roster spot for a trade… would seem they might add a pitcher soon. Something is in the works, no other reason to send him back to AAA.

So you are saying they should take all of the guns away AND mask up, right? <duck and running back to sports forum>

44F this morning, felt great.

This can’t be liked enough. You can silence COVID if you want, and live your life free of that worry. Tourist areas especially are optimistic, no part of a domestic vacation seems different unless you let it in the north country.

Letting the dog out one last time, it’s in the low 50s at 10pm. It’s been a while since it’s felt this cool. Strong radiational cooling; the River bottoms and large open valleys pooling the coolest air. Bugs seem dormant, no moths, no skeeters. 52F MVL. 50F at both BLM and HIE in NH.

Touche... sarcastic and solid evidence.

Nice data, the public remembers that. The dews soften the blow but people think it was cooler than it should’ve been during the day, especially after the work day (good time grab for 6pm).

I thought it was hilarious when Phin started that the other day, it’s a great phrase…seemed like this sarcastic no one cares guys, yay local sportsball team, talk about something that matters.

That was as close to a clean inside the park homer as you’ll ever see. Didn’t even take any weird bounce to get away from a diving outfielder. Just a perfectly placed ball in the gap and a very fast ball player from the local sportsball team.

Yeah he should do well in Yankee Stadium. I just hate when the Yankees improve their team lol.

God dammit.

Jarren Durran with an inside-the-park home run at Fenway on a ball hit in the gap… man that young kid is fast! Now that was exciting.

Yeah, wife is going around closing doors and windows. 60F here currently. Dropped 10F in an hour, great to get that low dew radiational cooling back.

Baker still recommends condom use among those categories.

Yeah I like that description. Cool and wet. Exactly how my dad described it too. He doesn’t give a shit about the dew point, lol. What he remembers is that the highs were 60s and 70s a lot while it was raining. Thats the public perception I’d wager too. They remember all the highs in the 70s and damp, to them it’s “cool” for July because it’s not 85-90F for two weeks straight. It can be cool, wet and humid all at the same time.

Well between our two locations will have quite a bit of difference. The A/C was almost never on up here and windows open nightly. July will not be remembered as being warm or hot, thats for certain. Chilly, probably not but July isn’t a month that is chilly even below normal. Cool maybe? Cool and damp? But for sure it won’t be remembered as warm or deep summer. The other thing is I do think the public believes it was a colder than normal July (it was, ha). But the daytime highs were colder than normal a LOT and that’s going to lead to perception in the public. Focusing on the nights is weird because in the winter we always talk about what people perceive when they are awake and out/about. Same in summer, if it’s 72F for a high but 65F for a low, people are like it wasn’t hot today. In the winter we get those above normal months that are perceived cold because daytimes were chilly.

Ok yeah you are more interested in the dew point than the actual temp. We’ll see… maybe the ASOS’ climb that high by Wednesday.

You thinking torch by Tuesday? EPS and GEFS are in agreement where it takes a while to warm 850mb temps above normal…. Late next week. Maybe it changes, sure. Day 5-9 mean on EPS.

Started yesterday with mid-50s yesterday morning and should take us at least through next Wednesday. Down south you probably get clipped sooner with increasing moisture mid-week. NW flow remains across the region Friday night into Saturday with continued below normal temperatures expected. Low temperatures Friday night will average ~10 degrees below normal in the low 40s to low 50s. The overall pattern remains fairly active for the latter half of the weekend and into the early part of next week as another sharp trough swings through the Northeast. While Saturday looks to be dry, rain chances increase Sunday morning into Monday with the passage of this front. Another shot of cold air arrives Monday with below normal temperatures expected once again. &&

Dew point down to 40F at BML. We’ve only been upper 40s today but it’s very refreshing.

Talk about a conspiracy theory!

Definitely some disagreement with WAR.

A decade ago I was driving a foreign student worker back to his lodging after work and he was from Russia. We get down to the 3-way stop in the center of the village and he watches for a bit as we wait our turn. He turns to me and asks what’s happening, doesn’t understand how polite and orderly people are. I’m like what don’t you understand? The traffic pattern? It’s first come first goes, and rotates to the right so it’s just people waiting their turn to go. I still remember in his thick Russian accent he goes, “Dere is no fukking vay dis vould verk in Russia. No vay.”

Start with two direct ‘cane hits as early guess, can always adjust upward as needed.

The more I listen to the discussion it continues to become evident and like Phin has said, it’s not just political blue vs red. I admit I used to broad brush it that way but if we are going to discuss it so much we might as well learn deeper reasonings. It’s definitely a deeper personal freedom issue and trust issue with authority. Vermont has a large sense of community and I’m sure that played a large part in vaccinations. Not for the gov’t but because it circulated as a way to help your neighbors. Vermonters will eat that up if it helps someone else. Like waiting at a 4-way stop in VT, everyone is too damn polite that they all try to tell the others to go first and no one ends up driving anywhere. You go, no you go, no you probably have somewhere more important to be than me so you go first, etc. Not sure if politics really defines it but more of a overarching ideal in favor of the greater good over individual desires. Many town communities are governed by Republican Party members, the Gov is Republican and like posted earlier won’t require state employees to be vaxxed and sees no reason to make any rash decisions because cases are going up but deaths aren’t. But party lines don’t really explain VT, as much as community over self interests.
