Maybe not totally surprising the NNE is getting the big heat when northern Siberia is putting up 100s.

68F and looks like the ocean is trying to reassert itself with clouds starting to fill in

Things are popping up to my north

Looks like it.  Sandy River at 190 cfs, 25th percentile 310, record low 131 so it's probably about 10th percentile.  22 years ago the flow was 22,900.

Odd question - anyone else having an abnormally high number of bird strikes on their windows?  It's probably 5X the usual this month, a lot on the north side of the house where we're still putting out suet for the woodpeckers (and the hogging blue jays) but also on east and south sides.  Haven't had any that failed to fly away, yet.

Having an AC company coming on Wednesday to give us an estimate on a mini-split installation. Done with the window units (still haven't installed yet). Now watch us get it in and not have to run it once.  

Parts of lawn have turned to dry hay where it's exposed to full sun. Doesn't look like any relief for a while. I expect we'll snap back the other way once tropics heat up again.

Beautiful 66F and breezy today. Let's hold off the HHH for as long as possible.

Pool time with the kid earlier...got out just before the thunder started. Lawn is parched and just getting a quick shower now...barely enough to dampen the ground. This is mid-summer dryness around here the past couple of weeks. If EC is right things might flip after next week but looks dry until then.

Wow, wish I made the ride up to the family place in Lakeville...11 inches as of 8PM.

36F after 10am on May 9. Some flakes still flying but main snow band has moved out.

Jealous of what VT has seen the past few days. Leaving Crotched today. Conditions pretty bad after the rain Thursday but improved yesterday. Despite that we had some fun. Just getting up high for the views makes it worthwhile...

Spent several February vacations at Saddleback back in the 80s. Will always remember that t-bar to the summit. Used to joke it was like a black diamond t-bar. I fondly recall a day the conditions were pretty rough, like heavy squalls with temps in the teens and going up that t-bar with ski patrol. Most everyone else had called it a day by that point. Looking forward to getting back up there again.

I have a distinct memory of a report on NBC nightly news from some time in the 80s where they said Mount Washington recorded a wind chill of -200. I'd have to think the -107 is more likely but maybe I'll try to find it in the archives somewhere.

I'm afraid if I go snow blow now that band just to the west is going to drop another 6 before morning. Seems like it wants to slowly come east. 30F, light-mod snow

Ripping. 28F

Dumping. 29F

Starting to feel effects of that band pivoting in from offshore. Down to 29F

31F with mod. to heavy snow. 1/2" down

Sleet showers, 35F
