Ehh all that stuff about how bugs don’t bite or bees don’t sting unless provoked is total BS. I think I’ve been stung 5 times by bees. Every time except one I was doing nothing but minding my own business. The exception was during lunch at high school I was playing frisbee outside and it went into the bushes and when I reached in I got attacked by white faced hornets and was stung 6 or 7 times. Outside of that, I’ve always gotten stung doing nothing. I’ve never been stung swatting them away or swatting and running

It’s outside but even if inside…that would be way too big for me to go near.

Ahhh crap

Bingo...exactly what my girlfriend has said when we discuss this stuff. She says its one of the most challenging things to not only prove but convince a jury on.

It's ridiculous. My girlfriend came across a story a few months back where someone is suing one of the candy companies (or trying too) because the candy didn't look exactly like the candy on the box or something. This is where we're at as a society...

Unfortunately, I think a large part of it is due to the fact that everyone is afraid of being sued and public backlash when incidents happen.

They probably looked at some stupid freaking iPhone app or asked their piece of garbage google AI. That's all everything is nowadays, stupid bullshit apps and rubbing AI like its an Aladdin lamp and the genie pops out, tells them an answer, and they just roll with it. Its sickening.

This is absolutely the most absurd thing I ever heard. I just don't get it. You have people in these positions who are responsible for making decisions and supposedly are supposed to be highly educated and yet make decisions which fire ants even laugh at. There is absolutely zero basis for this type of call. Whoever made the final call on this and whoever was involved in leading to this call all need to be fired. What a total freaking joke.

What makes this more absurd is its not even going to be super hot or humid tomorrow. I mean if the threshold for cancelling school because of temps in the 80's and dewpoints in the 60's school may as well not start until October 1 and end in May. It was Waterbury school...that district is very odd anyways but someone clearly is getting fed bad info.

pretty insane theta-e across those parts and check out the mixing ratio.

that will be updated I think...there is no way anywhere in CT is sniffing HI of 100...let alone even 90 (except maybe the shoreline sniffs 90).

The sfc front though comes through pretty early...looks like by mid-morning. One of the reasons why the severe weather threat has been shunted even farther southwest. If anything, dews are going to be dropping through the morning. Hell, even the 850 front or boundary looks to come through early

It will be in the mid 80's and dews mid 60's lol. Did they not check for updates on the weather in the last couple days?

Just saw some schools in CT are having an early dismissal and cancelling after school activity due to expected "extreme heat" tomorrow. Extreme heat...

Looks like a decent little winter weather event for Glacier National Park/some of the surrounding mountains in Montana tomorrow.

Sunday could definitely be up in the air. If we get lucky, the FROPA occurs overnight and most of the rain/thunderstorm activity is evening/overnight with the front pushing off the coast Sunday morning, yielding improving conditions as the day progresses. However, there is potential the front gets hung up or stalls and that would yield a very shitty Sunday.

Many in Connecticut will always despise him for using Hartford as a means to get the new stadium in Foxboro. There are a ton of people in Connecticut who hate the Patriots because of this and stopped rooting for the team.

Sounds similar to another team we know...

Well this I agree with. Had they executed better, the transition would have been much more smooth and they could have avoided these years of total garbage.

I mean it was all bound to not only come down but crashing down. Look at any franchise across any sport that went on to have prolific, long-term success, not only do they come crashing down but it can take several-plus years to really re-bound. Maybe football is easier but when you go so many years with bottom of the round picks, its going to be extremely difficult to bring in young talent...so what do you do? Well, you almost have to "get lucky" and try to find players who may be overlooked and get that steal.

I'd have to agree with this.

Been thinking about it the past few days and I'm ready for fall/winter. I'm getting excited to have football back and hockey starting soon. It will also be fun tracking how the Celtics do (but I can't get myself to watch regular season games). This was a fun summer though I always wish I could be outside more. I try to work outside every now and then and would go outside and play with the dog 2-3 times a day. The past 2 months have been difficult though with the dog situation and other stuff so haven't gotten to enjoy outside as much as I would want too. I just hope though this winter has something to offer. I hope its an active winter...even if that just means several 3-5'' events. One giant event (12-18+) in a winter of dud...I mean that is fantastic in the moment leading up to and during the event but that feeling wares off after a while. I don't want to have another situation of getting caught up in these, "the D8-10 or whatever" EPS looks good...and then all of a sudden you're chasing and chasing and before you know it 6+ weeks of the season is gone.

ehhh at least with severe we have that 1% chance of actually getting a major outbreak

I'm just ready to punt the rest of summer. May as well get used to punting anyways with the Pats season starting soon.

Those maps (which quantify temperature/precipitation probabilities) for a given stretch of time I think are nonsense, particularly during the transition seasons. But yeah you're right...all that map is really indicating is there is a 50-60% chance of that period being below-average. But I would like to know what is being weighted in those forecasts.
