  1. It is fukkin hot out. Bouncing between 90/66 and 88/70 depending on mixing at MVL.
  2. The photos look a lot better and are much more moody in the fog .
  3. I thought it said “Periods of above and below normal temperatures with occasional precipitation” under the New England sector?
  4. 80F at the Picnic Tables and it feels it up here. Almost no wind either. Calm and hot. Not much relief up here.
  5. Loconto is down there now?! He was good at BTV, always enjoyed talking snow. Stealing some talent. Hopefully we picked up some prospects for that trade at least.
  6. Said they’d leave something on the porch, I’d rather IPA over champagne. I couldn’t stay till they got their support vehicles.
  7. COVID cancelled the massive Stoweflake Balloon Festival here this year, but they still launched some balloons for the locals to watch from our backyards. This one just missed coming in our living room a few minutes ago and made a smooth landing in the backyard.
  8. 63/63 and dense fog. Lol at BTV being well mixed and 80F at 4am with the tropical nocturnal southerly jet developing in the valley.
  9. EURO tracks it right up the Hudson Valley... couldn’t follow the river any closer if it tried.
  10. 75/73 here... gonna be a real mild night if we have already radiated to the dew point. Still mid-80s at 9pm in Burlington.
  11. Now that’s a rockslide... awesome shots, thanks for sharing.
  12. It’s a more liberal interpretation of what constitutes “western CT”. Seems to be pretty good consensus of at least a Hudson Valley track after 18z. Most seem to go over ALB or even west.
  13. Because that’s not where we want it. We need everyone to concentrate really hard to try and steer it.
  14. You are talking official station dews, he’s talking backyard Davis. Models print dews as they think the ASOS will report, not forested backyards. If they are showing 75-78F dews, Kev probably sees Iowa cornfield 82-84F on his Davis console, lol.
  15. Man I'd gladly take the May heat when it was like 93-95F but with low dews over this 88/69 stuff. Even the shade doesn't offer much relief in this air mass. This is the classic upper 80s and humid New England air mass. Not impressive highs but certainly more than high enough.
  16. 88/68. Trying to mix out a little, lol.
  17. 85/70... A/C time for sure. Thats about as gross a reading you’ll get from MVL but it’ll probably get worse. Hard to keep high dews from trying to mix out in a mountain valley air field up here, but with the dense fog this morning there’s plenty of low level moisture.
  18. Ahh, gotcha. I was picturing like downtown Southbridge or over by Big Y ha. But if you are at 715ft that makes more sense... it goes country real fast up on Lebanon Hill.
  19. If Southbridge, MA is “the country” then my idea of what “country” is is wayyyy off.
  20. Now it’s gonna be hot or time for AC because the wife is hellbent on every door being closed. No free flowing air.
  21. It’s a black lab, no way could it handle a bear but it thinks it could take all animals that run from it. She’s fiercely loyal, and most wild animals looking for food will run from a howling dog, regardless of size. I’m not letting her out, that’s for sure.
  22. Bear just came back to our porch. Holy shit. I'm jacked up. Dog went nuts again and is scratching the door to go outside and chase after we closed it. Screen door open again, it must smell something coming from our kitchen. I saw it's face through the screen door for a split second before the dog went nuts and it took off back into the woods.
  23. That is by far the way to go. You can manage air and efficiency very easily using the sun to or against your benefit. Full sunshine in floor to ceiling windows in winter cold is gloriously warm... in summer it’s time to pull the shades during midday solar, especially if you aren’t home. No brainer if you aren’t home actually. Head to the summits during that time. Then in the evening as it cools off or whenever the temp outside goes below your AC temp, you open everything up.
  24. Yeah it’s rain cooled air too... but also climo of NNE to get more weak FROPAs and storms. What’s not climo is the over-the-top torches relative to normal that have been happening since the late-May.
  25. Ha! I go with much colder settings... I like 65F in winter inside. Right now it’s mid-60s outside and three screen doors in different rooms plus windows ushering that air in.
