  1. I visit way the board much less often than I used to simply because it's the same tiresome banter of hyperbolic posts, usually generated by DIT. It's like listening to siblings bicker incessantly. At some point, you leave the room. My absence isn't a problem for the community as I rarely contribute beyond posting rain/snow totals, but perhaps there are members who visit less frequently, too, and that might mean a drop in ad revenue that helps keep the site running.
  2. That chilly air snuck in without much advance notice. It made it down to 49F in Orwell, and that felt downright cold after the recent smothering heat.
  3. Shoot, was hoping for a good, widespread rain event. 0.24 here, with 0.21 of it coming in 10 minutes at 4:15 pm.
  4. t's neat to see the pattern in your data, too. a 10-yr period is too short to draw conclusions, but I wonder if this alternating pattern would bear out over a longer time frame. I'd also like to see if temperatures do the same.
  5. It's been dry here at the southern end of Addison County. Here is how this year 's precipitation (inches) during the growing season (May 1 through July 10) stacks up with previous years: 2018: 4.51 2017: 13.34 2016: 8.09 2015: 13.18 2014: 6.95 2013: 15.78 2012: 9.20 2011: 12.01 2010: 7.51 2009: 13.26
  6. That's pretty impressive for Vermont. Any word on fire in the canopy? It looks like the flames are mostly at ground level, but this could be deceiving.
  7. Been getting this when entering the New England forum via iPhone SE
  8. I'm getting new tabs (State Farm ad) when I click on 'new post by ...." when using Firefox on a pc.
  9. Beautiful, eyewall. I could only see the green faintly. Was the pink visible to the naked eye?
  10. a little too much light still in the western sky here in Orwell. Sparse, thin clouds, but otherwise mostly clear. Fingers crossed.
  11. It's logarithmic. From NASA: " And then come the X-class flares. Although X is the last letter, there are flares more than 10 times the power of an X1, so X-class flares can go higher than 9. The most powerful flare measured with modern methods was in 2003, during the last solar maximum, and it was so powerful that it overloaded the sensors measuring it. The sensors cut out at X28."
  12. And that was followed by an X9. Top of the scale.
  13. There's time for this to strengthen by this evening.
  14. You're right, there are unique days in June where heat seems to be required. It was 51 and raining (0.72) on Tuesday, and the house was calling for heat. I turned it off and put on a sweatshirt. It was a very chilly day.
  15. Fixed your post. But you're right about heat in June being a waste of energy. On par with AC in New England at any time of the year.
  16. G2 storm in progress. http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/news/g2-moderate-geomagnetic-storm-progress.
  17. Things are pretty active right now, as we've entered a solar wind. http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/products/planetary-k-index
  18. And it's going to be clear tonight in many places. Besides standing outside in a dark spot, what's your go-to page for stats?
  19. G1-Class storm currently underway. I don't think anything's visible here in Vermont, but it's worth paying attention.
  20. it was cloudy this morning, as per agreement with the weather & borealis gods.
  21. that's a beautiful picture. How long did the display last?
  22. A severe (K8) geomagnetic storm is underway. Perhaps it'll last long enough for viewing tonight and the skies will clear.
