Seems like summer is knocking on our door. I would change the title of the thread if I could figure out how.
Anyway, the rain has started here, a bit earlier than I was expecting. I’d like to see us get more than the .25” or so we got over the weekend. Would love to see 1”+
@dendrtite, have you been doing some lobbying down in Concord?

Breeze coming though the window feels cooler now. House was 82 when I got home. My son had closed all the windows when the first storms came through and the house was nearly unbearable. Getting better now.
Oh, glad everything turned out ok Hippy. Looks harrowing.
Yes, tongue in cheek, sort of. Sometimes it just isn't meant to be. That's why so many New Englanders moved west, it's just a heck of a lot easier to grow stuff in other places!
40° at my house. Beautiful stretch of weather but we need some rain. Starting to get brown at the golf course in areas that aren't covered by sprinklers and irrigation isn't a complete replacement for rain.

I don't know if its physically possible to be much nicer than the last two days. If all summer could be like this, with enough rain to avoid the normally devastating New England drought, I would love it.
I figured that the winter of 2017-18 has seemingly drawn its last breath so it would be time to fire up a NNE spring thread. All in all this past weekend was decent, with Saturday being a real beauty. I played in the VT Golf Association Spring 4 ball tournament and we even managed to miss the rain yesterday as it held off until we were done with our round. Below is a picture from the 12th tee at Equinox on Saturday.
