    Was up in Wonalancet yesterday for a nice hike along a stream with guys I’ve been hiking with for 50 years. Actually was decently warm. I was staying in Wakefield and by the time we got there for dinner it was lightly raining. I drove home last night snd rain increased once south of the Merrimack. Pouring when I got home. It’s trying to clear today but the garden got a nice long drink yesterday.

    We might as well begin with a smattering of snow in Siberia. Another winter looms.

    I have not started my annual and we begin thread. Maybe tonight or tomorrow.

    By who’s climate data?

    You could but unfortunately you won’t…

    I love way above normal late September into October with a flip around Halloween. That type of pattern often bodes well for winter.

    I used to do that but I now have been setting it at 79 on the pike. Have been doing that for 5 years with no issues. It sounds like troopers validate that strategy.

    It may be too early but a wooly bear caterpillar seen by my wife had an extremely narrow orange band indicative of a severe winter. Not a prediction-just a folklore observation.

    Take the blizzard out and you still have a record breaker 2 weeks earlier. But I get the point.

    Regarding Hazel which was mentioned a page back, that had the most impressive winds of any that I’ve personally experienced. Not much rain but my vivid memory of the tops of railroad utility poles cartwheeling down my street a mile from the tracks has been indelibly etched into my consciousness for the past 70 years despite Hazel being over land after landfalling over the SC/NC border and then rocketing NNW. I also have a less vivid memory of snow falling while we were trick or treating 2 weeks later.

    My school decided to keep us there until the worst of Donna had passed. I used to walk to and from school-I was in the 8th grade for Donna, but in this case my mother came to pick me up and we drove home. Watching the winds and rains unexpectedly nail us while we were in school was amazing especially since I had science class and the student teacher we had was kind of a wx weenie. 3 months later we were entering one amazing winter!

    For you and me, Carol, Edna, Hazel, Donna. Nothing really has approached that 1954-60 experience since in my lifetime. I was not here for Gloria.

    I traffic light-in a city of 21M up to the 2020s.

    Never ever sell assets during a steep downturn. In general, unless you’re a day trader, stay the course. A diversified portfolio will protect against extremes. But locking in losses is simply dumb. If you’re > 5 years from retirement, equities should dominate. Heck even within retirement I have a healthy % of assets in equities. But I have protection with other instruments available to avoid a catastrophe. Always think big picture.

    It’s considered one of the big 4 and to my knowledge the official climo site of Hartford.

    I just came in from a 7 mile walk. Schvitzing like a muthufukka.

    I think the summer pattern has been mainly dews and above normal temperatures interspersed with breaks of dank and a few nice days lasting 5-6 days with a redew on the other side. Rinse repeat for another few weeks or more.
  20. weathafella
    Unfortunately I can no longer run. But I walk…a lot. However between the dews and ultraviolet and the fact that my wake up time is pretty late I walk many miles just about every night. There literally hasn’t been a walk this summer that didn’t leave me drenched in sweat. It’s been epic tbh.

    Well done!

    Unfortunately the earlier sunset is now noticeable. With that said, looks quite summery as far as the guidance can see. I’m hoping for a flip in October.
  23. weathafella
    I’m feeling cocky today though. Weekend wx is irrelevant to me.
  24. weathafella
    A few days of COC and then we rock.
  25. weathafella
    Smart move. I’m the same way. Most of my outdoor stuff is in shade or near and beyond sunset.
