I know this board is slanted to SNE, but CNE and NNE do well on this as well.  Still leaning to Pit2.

GYX playing it conservatively with it's snow forecast--which is still pretty healthy.  Not hitting wind issues at all.  I suspect they'll still be strong enough to keep my lawn free of accumulation while up the street they need a yard stick.

Have adjusted snow ratios down, and for now have suppressed
model QPF somewhat to generate snowfall forecast. This leaves
room for upward or downward adjustment as the event draws
closer. That said still appears to be yet another significant
snowfall event for the region. Based on current track and QPF
alignment mid-coast and central Maine appear to be best aligned
to see the greatest snowfall.

this is my worry

We see this again and again.  Eeyore all over this one for western areas.

Pit2, ftw.

Good. Keep ticking west. We know how often the last second leak east happens inside of 24 hours. Though this isn't a typical Miller B so maybe it won't happen. 

Reading this is like reading a real-time Messenger post.

Looks like I'm going to need to head to Pit2 again.  Hopefully my wife won't mind....

becs = biblical east coast snowstorm (lifetime event)

mecs = major east coast snowstorm (practically once a winter event)

In between becs and mecs, though, is hecs = historical east coast snowstorm.

So, it was sarcasm on how some have had it so good lately that 24” is just another run of the mill snowfall. 

You left out SECS--'significant'

Apologies for the non-tech post.  My nephew is sheltered in place in Vieques.  SHare good thoughts and prayers to him and all others on PR and it's associated islands.

Deep toughing on the euro. That is a Fall look if I've ever seen one at hr 240. Including a possible srn Canada prairie snow event.

Snow can't stick in September.

It won't. You can't keep this pattern for that long. Folks that enjoy this are going to pay the piper this winter..and those of that didn't want this..are going to suffer due to them

Boy, that would be a year from hell for you:  a cool, dry summer followed by a dud winter.  You might want to fire up your spring '18 lawn thread now and be done with it.

September is such a great month, all the tourists gone, kids back in school, empty beaches,lakes, water is still warm. 

And, it feels even warmer with the relatively cooler air temops.

Despicable month.  Losing light, traffic doubles, summer over.

The afternoon commute traffic this summer sucked the big one.  Don't know what was up with that.

Huh ... you really hate sun, huh - 

you've leveled like 10 posts in three weeks letting us know that the sun rises later and sets earlier every day after ~ June 21 ... got it!   Good to know -

Like clockwork.

To me, it's usually that style of airmass where it's something like 77-79F in the afternoon, and you all of the sudden lose 4-5F around 6pm even though the sun is still up...but it's dropped below that critical angle and the heat is now just radiating into the clear sky. You see the muted sun rays still hitting the tops of trees and rooftops but you can feel the heat escaping regardless. By 8pm it is mostly dark and you've dropped another 4-5F and by 10pm you might be threatening 60F.

beware the lowering sun angle.

During the month of August, we'll lose about 75 minutes of day light.  tick, tick, tick.

No.. no one had that .. though it has been AN, certainly not a massive heater 

I'm fine with a day or two like that at Pit2.  Just make it nice enough at some point to make it to 5-islands and I'm fine (sounding a bit like Jeff Spiccoli there).

Im hoping gor the best.   I have about 3 mile view looking north up the river.  Im keeping my fingers crossed.

September all next week seems like. Hopefully the crisp weather gets the foliage season off to early start 

I'm taking my COC week of 70's and running with it.  I'm flying to Maryland today just for an overnight.  It's going to be upper 80's there--I'll give summer your regards. 

Dank start to today.  Pea soup and 61.0*

It was in the 70s all day today.  My pool dropped 6 degrees in 2 days. First week of July, He can spin it but his HHH end of June first week of July did not materialize.  We are in a repetitive pattern with a normal temp low dew non HHH majority of days for the foreseeable future.

I managed to hit 80 or higher 6 times in the past month, 3 of those were the 3 hot days from June 11-13 when I went 86, 88, 85..  I had 4 days in the past month where I came in shy of 70*.

Well no one posts about that except you to yourself 

6 minutes gone already and by the end of the week, we'll be losing at a rate of more than a minute/day and well over 2 minutes/day by months end.  Let the foliage clock begin--they might even be getting some color in West Chesterfield.

High of 74F under partly sunny skies in the valley...tourists out in full force and lots of talk about how nice the weather was.  Didn't hear one complaint about the lack of dews and high heat ;).

Got to 76 here.  No complaints from me.

This looks one hell of a humid month. I mean many ER's jammed with ballz surgically removed from legs type stuff. Hope folks are ready for the massive , extended dew assault 

By the time it hits it will be close to mid-July when posts will begin about folks first noticing the later sunrise/set.

This summer has been tolerable so far, but the worst half is still to come.

Better one bad half than one bad whole.

Today is another one...upper 60s and low 70s right now up here while a large portion of SNE looks to be heading decently into the 80s.

Obviously we will have some differences of opinion on sensible weather if you are somewhere that is 71F with a breeze, vs. 80-85F already at noon and climbing.

 

74* with a strong breeze hete at Chez Pit at 12:45.  We call this COC.

in other words it summer in New England to stay, enjoy, hopefully we can warm the big pond up, body surfing is calling me, still have a month to recover from shoulder surgery but I'll be ready for the first overheads.

What did you do to your shoulder?  Mine's been messed up for about 3 months now.  Some type of rotator cuff and/or nerve stuff.  Lots of pain.  In fact, just came back from PT whcih is allowing me to work from home today.

Up to 67.5, approaching the midnight high of 68.5.
