PEI is a snowy place.  Charlottetown averages 112”/year.

I’m here for a snowmobile conference. It’s a beautiful place. 

Day 2 in PEI. Beautiful day  70’s and sun.

I came from the South. And it wasn't even Florida. And even there I was indeed very sick of the relentless heat and humidity. Where I came from, mid 80s in the summer is considered a cool day. And if you have a single cloud cover the sun for even five seconds it's a major relief.

I cannot even fathom Florida. It sounds like Hell to me.

Anyway, I cannot understand this whining about a couple of cloudy, cool days a week. 

 

You need to be up here in PEI. 

Beach day up here in PEI.

Is there a reason why my neighbor would be mowing his lawn every 2 to 3 days?
He’s only 60 and retired so it could just boredom but maybe there is a good reason for mowing that frequently?  
i’m not going to ask him because I find it all a little annoying and he’ll probably detect that in my voice.

edit: this is the same person, who will spend Sunny days in late February and early March, snowblowing snow from shady sections of the yard into sunny sections to melt it quicker.

 

Are sure DIT don’t move in next door?

I played 9 at Presque Isle Country Club today. It’s a solid course that was fun. Beautiful day to be outdoors.

its really not bad all... most places have ac that you walk into and most lines have strong fans with water misting out 

What has this world come to with our most fervent, Heat hating cold supporter talking like this?

Interior FL is a hellhole. Gulf Coast Tampa-south is amazing. You need some air movement with the continuous 75-80+ dews and mins.

I can’t imagine living there and not being near the water.  Strong hell no to interior Florida.

I know 2 couples who have just bought places in The Villages. I can’t think of a worse spot in FL, well maybe in the deep interior panhandle.

1.54” today but we need it.

Yikes. We drove from BGR TO PQI and didn’t see anything other than sprinkles. I don’t think it rained here at all after we arrived around 12:30.

Might be able to see the base of the mountains, with tops in the clouds.  Hope the wx at PEI is better.

 

This is what we saw.

If you're traveling on US RT 2, you'll get within a mile of my place, though it's 2 miles by road - from the blinker in New Sharon by Sandy River Farm Supply (one of the cheaper gas places in the area - $2.929 last I looked).  Should be a nice ride up I-95, somewhat slower HUL to PQI.  The pullout north from Medway has a great view of Katahdin, possibly compromised by smoke.  (Maybe you've already been through there before and I'm not offering real news. )

We ended up taking a different route simply because I decided to follow whatever the gps told me to do. Went all interstate through NH to 95 and the Maine Turnpike. Probably not the best route but traffic wasn’t as bad as I feared. Ran into some hellacious storms in NH. Rain hard enough to almost bring traffic to a halt. Impressive lightning around exit 13 on 89 in NH.  We got a room in Bangor for the night and drive the rest of the way to PQI tomorrow. The last 2 times I’ve gone up there the clouds have obscured Katahdin from the lookout. Probably strike 3 tomorrow.

Humidity has arrived.  Last 3 days were 73/35, 78/44, 86/49 but today's low is about 60 and high maybe 75.  Started planting last Monday and it turned dry, as usual.  Had 2 TS do a 7-10 around me about 6 PM yesterday and today's southern Maine RA refuses to cross Rt 2.  Forecast says we get the garden watered tomorrow.

I'll be driving through your neighborhood later today on our way to Presque Isle for a couple of days and then P.E.I. for a week.

Tomorrow looks interesting along and just north of front tomorrow. 

Yeah and I'm driving to northern Maine and then through to P.E.I.  Sounds like it could be some crappy driving in spots.

MPV with 87F

That seems about right. I would never claim my PWS is very precise.

Can we get 90F?

29% RH is how I like my heat.

85.2° for the high here.

I’ve forgotten more 90’s rap than any that you’ve ever known.  That was my hey day of rap. Back when it was good. Not the shit out today 

Yeah! And you kids stay off his lawn!!

Those projected mid-week temperatures are a big yikes. Feel like I've gone back to the south.

Where did you think you moved to?  Seriously though, I don't know if you actually understood the climate in New England.  There have always been hot days, this isn't Labrador.

Aaah summer in Vermont! Weather's great if you have a wetsuit. Daughter was up there hiking with her dog and former college roommate yesterday.

 

Looks like Lake Willoughby. 

Like clockwork, 7:00 pm Sunday evening and the sun makes its first appearance or the weekend.

The day is turning into a washout here. Very few breaks in the drizzle and then steady rain at times. Hopefully people east of here are at least getting in and OK Saturday this afternoon.

A steady synoptic rain at 59F throughout the entire daylight hours of a Saturday.

Just how @ineedsnow would draw it up.

59°? You lucky bastard!  My height for the day has been 56°.

Golf courses must not be off to a great year with all the rainy weekends. 2 months, at least down here pretty much down the tubes. A lot of momentum is built early.

Every time it’s halfway decent out, our course seems packed. You can never make up full for bad days but it’s been good to be busy when you can.

I am early to middle June every year.

I leav for a week in PEI next Friday. Probably not going to get to install until I get back.
