  1. Yeah I have them topping out right around 100, which really isn't that much hotter than the ambient temp considering how hot it will be.
  2. We have a quick reference guide based on average 850 mb height and sea level. But our tool uses actual forecast height and elevation, so far more accurate as you state. I'm getting 97 in southern NH, so warmer than that at a lower elevation is not out of the question.
  3. Pretty solid agreement at 850 around 21C, solidly around 96 max temp if you mix that all down.
  4. Honestly the iron game just wasn't that strong. Straight but often short, right, or left. Chip and a putt later and I walked away with par or bogey. If I was consistently hitting GIR I would've easily been living in the mid to high 70s because I had a strong putter. Now we birdie and then give it away with doubles and triples.
  5. It's a crime I have only played that course once, but I also didn't start playing seriously until 2008. Shot my first round in the 80s in 2012, and first 79 in 2016. 2017 I knew we were going to try to have a kid so it was a grind to get the index below 10. Shot my best 9 (36, +1) and had a couple 78s and managed to sneak it down to 9.7 by the end of the year. I was probably a small adjustment away on my approach shots from being really good, but the season ended and the rest is history.
  6. When you play every week it's pretty amazing how it all comes together quickly. But there are still flashes, as long as I can hang onto those I'm happy. I've gone 50/41 and 42/46 in my most recent rounds. Chuck the 50 and I'm content.
  7. Having a kid has done a number on my handicap (only 4 rounds so far this year) but every once and a while it still comes together for me. Played with Ekster last week and split the fairway in half on 1 about 280. Had about 120 in and parked it to 1 foot. Probably should've just walked back to the parking lot though.
  8. I tried to do the "wave of color" through the seasons. Lily of the valley and azalea bloom early, spirea late June-ish, and Hydrangea the rest of the year. All cultivars I picked to grow generally 4-5 ft tall and wide and not block our pinched windows in the front. I also have a running list of things I'd like in the yard.
  9. I like the name, vive le resistance! We got two Endless Summer Bloomstruck hydrangea. I think my plant coverings weren't tall enough last year, so a few stem tips got burned and didn't come back, but otherwise they are flourishing. Last season the flower were a deep blue-purple, but this year it's a light rose-purple. So I've added about 0.5 pH worth of sulfur to see if that does the trick.
  10. I did the ziplock and paper towel route for lupine this spring. Worked great as I would say the majority of those seeds that germinated have taken root in the wild flower bed. Now slugs and snails are doing a number, but I've kept them at bay with garlic water spray. Next step will be a more potent repellent. Several clusters are doing really well though. I think I successfully saved my October glory that had crown dieback last summer. Trimmed the dead branches and sprayed neem oil for the bugs that seemed to be enjoying the open wounds a little too much. Nice full crown this year, no dieback that I can see. Hydrangea are definitely blooming purple though, so the blue flowers last year were just a sign of the potting soil the plant came in. My beds need some amendments to bring the pH down.
  11. Good day for cold pools. OKX sounding showed a nice dry layer in the mid levels.
  12. I think that's the biggest factor. And that funnel cloud report near Salisbury definitely looked more interesting than we originally thought from pictures. There was some weak rotation, but absolutely no debris underneath (and it was over the marshes so should've lofted water), so funnel cloud it is.
  13. HREF just had that one UH contour, but it did highlight that area as most likely.
  14. I wouldn't say that AFD went wild, but it describes a model that went wild. I'm just not all in on a NAM 3 km solution.
  15. Yeah, I would like to see the 00z HREF start honking more if there is any hope at an upgrade. Right now looking more like isolated severe.
  16. That's what my practice swing always looks like. I honestly think 90% of my problems could be solved with a "slow back and accelerate through" but I tend to accelerate back and overswing. I know I'm doomed when I can see the club head out of my left eye cross the plane at the top of my backswing (I'm right handed).
  17. Is this for E Mass trying to steal your snow?
  18. Closed it, but I think the max I saw was MVL with 12.
  19. Average 3, median 4 at BML 4 and 4 for MVL.
  20. Probably going to get a solid rain band lift north tonight. Some will get a good drink, some may only get around a quarter. Definitely not a widespread flash flood look.
  21. I literally have no idea how this even happens. The forecast (from pretty much every outlet I've seen) has been no big deal the entire time. Maybe, maybe there was messaging about flash flood risk early one, but that was pretty quickly changed to localized threat.
