Lake Champlain expanding?

Prime weather on Middle Sister trail near Albany NH yesterday…



Daughter picked a bunch of blueberries…they are peaking now

58F this morning. First <60 since 6/23. Back broken.  Thankfully, looks perfect for camping and hiking near Mt. Chocorua this week.

Can we go one week without somewhere in NE getting turned into a bayou? It seems like the norm this summer. Meanwhile, avoiding the floods here with "only" 5.90 inches this month.

Cam close yesterday but June 23 was last low in the 50s here. Still only 3 90+ days so far. One each in May, June and July. Camping middle of next week up north...fingers crossed the drier look on the models works out. 79/68

I got rid of all my gas-powered tools last year and went with Toro's battery-powered system. Mower, string trimmer and snowblower. I don't have a big yard or driveway so it made sense and they all do the job just fine. The snowblower doesn't cut through 6 inches of paste as easily as the old Ariens but I plan on getting another battery for an extra boost in power and duration.

Seems every town in New England named "Waterbury" literally is getting buried in water. Just .06 here so far under tornado watch. Afternoon looks interesting. 73/72

82/77 steam bath. Whatever we get tomorrow seems to have a lot of potential moisture to work with.

One of those breeze-less evenings when nothing is moving. Meanwhile, noisy little storm to the north over Dover. 81/73

Low clouds and light mist have rolled in. A comfortable 72F now. Actually love this kind of weather while sitting outside by the grill.

Finished landscaping and soaked through now. 84/75. Ready to clear this out of here but I'm sure we'll be stuck in the soup for a while.

90/78...brutal

Pretty smoky out there to the point I could smell it, but got in a little hike at Locke Hills in Gilford NH...

Anyone's eyes feel like there's glue in them? Pretty sure it's mold spores from all the rain

Same here. Did some yard work which rends to kick things up and trigger my allergies. I take an antihistamine but doesn't help the eyes. Good point on the mold/fungal blooms that must be on-going in this swampy pattern.

Sump pump got stuck overnight FTL. 2.86" since yesterday and sheet drizzle this morning. Not the best way to kick off a couple weeks of vaca but hope springs eternal for later this week. On the upside, garden and lawn are pristine in their greenery.

Trying to plan a camping trip and the windows of opportunity for halfway decent weather don't look promising over the next couple weeks. Think we'll shoot for end of July-beginning of August when hopefully things have changed a bit. Long range GFS painting blue pixels over N Quebec already...summer's almost over.  

I had pegged June for turning on the AC here but we'll get through the month without it...sitting at a nice 74/69 at the moment.

83/73 on the Davis. Planted 7 small bushes/grasses in the yard...feeling every bit of it. 

Stein fighting hard here. Light showers while the sun is trying to burn through the overcast.

64 and clammy...the wonderous June weather continues. Sun is trying but ultimately ineffective.

Still running heat through the heat pump to keep the chill out. Doesn't look like I'll have to switch to AC mode for a while. Pretty dry despite all the murk lately. Just .82 so far this month.

High of 70F here, which oddly enough came as a temp spike at 3AM. Great day to plant a tree and a couple perennials in the yard.

First 90F of the season on the home station yesterday. Pleasant and 66F now. GFS and Euro look like they were trying to bring something tropical up toward Nova Scotia later in the period...guess they could use it.

2.5 total

2.10" as things start winding down here. Good to get the landscape a drink and wash the pollen away. 58F
