I did 4 wall mounted with potential to hook up a 5th in the basement when we finished it. One 55,000 btu condenser. I ended up just under 15k. Did the entire winter on those units alone, but we also have solar so the electricity we used is a wash for us. Kevin, you'll appreciate that we flipped them over to cooling today. Install complete.

I'm not sleeping on tomorrow either. Looks more like a straight up and down pulse type event, but I'm interested.
-
Not a bad place to stop and let the kids stretch their legs on the trips to RI.
-
I finally got on a calendar for planting so I know roughly when to harvest. Last year I just eyeballed it and didn't have time for a second crop.
-
Worms where the kids play definitely got my attention too, but from what I've read this type doesn't survive above 30C, so they die if ingested.
-
I do love the transition seasons for Kevin.
-
That was my plan, but in reading up on it, it sounds like I may have missed my chance to do it as they won't really target what's in the ground now. I may have to wait until later in summer to get the newly hatched grubs.

I think this is a fairly typical look. EML capping deep mixing, but the boundary layer is still mixed beneath it. And I was wrong, the sonde sampled 88/79 when I launched, while the in office display was 88/80 when we headed out. For some reason 84 for temps stuck in my head.
-
Some of those AWOSs I find a little suspect sometimes, but my first day on shift at DVN the ASOS was 84/80 when I went up to launch the balloon. So much moisture in the air that it condenses right on you when you leave the office AC.
-
Was your hill there a really sunny section too? Mine is the south facing lawn that is stressed to begin with.
-
I was going to try and go the natural route with the kids playing in the yard, but based on what I saw I think I might nuke it.
-
My grub problem is pretty bad. I knew I must've had it bad because of the die off last summer, but hoo boy it's a massacre below ground. I had a patio paver walkway put in to the front door last fall and planned to level and replant the grass this spring. As I level it's at least a dozen grubs per square foot.
-
Yeah I'm getting close to transplanting my lettuce/kale, carrot, onion, and cauliflower. Started peppers and tomatoes inside a couple days ago, give them 4-5 weeks to get going before they move outdoors too.

@ORH_wxman having flashbacks of ITH porches in full ski gear bouncing ping pong balls across a table with cups filled with Blue Light.

June 2025?
-
Looks like at least FWD and LZK.
-
Even the 60% and hatched for wind makes it really tough. And tornadoes, forget about it. That's 15 years worth of 30% tornado probabilities. The only way one of those contours gets introduced in New England will be if SPC gets hyperlocal on their outlooks.
-
You're both right? 75th percentile forecast for BDL is 78, 90th 81. So somewhere around 1 in 4 or 1 in 10 you expect temps could be warmer. But there is way more bust potential on the low side than on the high side of consensus (73). 10th percentile is 58 thanks to the backdoor potential.

Hey @Ginx snewx, that's a halfway decent mini supercell just north of you.
-
52 dBZ to 12,000 ft down in CT. Has to be something frozen falling out of that. Where's Wiz??
-
Just running back my (very) short period of record at the new house and my top months for snowfall have been Dec 2020 (25.5"), Dec 2019 (25.3"), Jan 2019 (21.0"), Jan 2022 (18.5"), and Nov 2018 (15.9"). Making November a winter month again.
-
43" is my backyard, but GYX is only at 44". So it's been pretty disastrous for the WFO. The only worse season since the office moved here was actually last year. GYX should have just over 80" by now.
-
43.1" is pretty brutal and feels like a D+, but considering the blizzard (legit around here) I'm going to want to give it a C-. Seriously, that blizzard makes me want to include it as 70, 80, 90% of the winter grade.

This is real cold. None of that Maple Hollow stuff. -
I'd say the new guys suck, but I'm not even new anymore.
