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.

Light rain at 57F after a low of 53F. The past two days have been surprisingly cool for July. Almost feels like a December cutter, 50s and rain.

His poor wife. Has quite an Eeyore vibe when it comes to gardening at least .

55/54 at 9:30pm. Pretty chilly evening all the sudden. What a weird up and down summer so far. Midnight high of 68F last night and just a slow drop today. One can imagine some good rains coming for someone given the thermal gradient across New England.

This is extremely true. Good point J. When it's wet/snowy/hot/windy whatever in SNE it can often seem like NNE is always left out of it but it's more because our weather doesn't get as much of the discussion (understandably so, not that it's a problem). It can definitely give a certain perspective of more weather action down there in certain patterns. The averages up here do tell the tale, it just doesn't make much discussion.

Ha I think I'm the exact opposite in the warm season. Like I posted in the other thread last night, must be getting older or something. I feel like a retiree yearning for Arizona who wants sunshine and dry every day during these longest daylight days of the year. I just love the idea of being outside comfortably until like 9pm with just natural light. You'll see people start mountain bike rides at like 7:30-8pm these days, ha. We just get so many cloudy days in the cold season... enjoy that sun when we get it.

Gotta start considering wettest July’s right? it just keeps going on the long term models too. Wet. That thing just drenches SNE/CNE. Tropical rains with these 6-hr progs. Like 1-3” in 6-hr panels just rolls through across all of SNE.

Sports car? I was expecting something else lol.

What a summer for storms in that northern third of CT. Definitely been the zone of action.

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.
