    depends-I've seen people cancel their plans when there was a chance of PM storms then complained when they didn't materialize...those phone forecasts are the worst thing to happen to weather forecasting...people see a raindrop and think the whole day is gone...

    I agree. They are terrible
     

    But I’ve also seen a lot of OCMs half ass a forecast and never really nail down the timing or placement of the showers. Anybody who is capable can do this. It’s not hard.

    I always tell people to ignore phone app weather . I outforecasted every single one of them last week in FMH. 

    I had no idea how detailed the phone weather app sh.it had become until seeing it on my girlfriend's new iphone.  She was so excited to see it "forecast" down to the minute, complete with colorful, and fancy looking graphics.  We were standing outside one day last week and she says, "It's going to rain in 16 minutes".  I was like, "really?"   I stood and waited, and nothing materialized.  Same thing on Sunday.  Her phone said there would be showers from around 2:32 - 3:39 or something like that.  Sadly, it never came to fruition.   People at parties are doing the same thing...Calling out the impending rain that sometimes happens, or not.

    Most of those square/rectangular townships were surveyed before many/any people lived there.  Of interest (to me, as I worked there 10 years) are the WELS towns (west of the easterly line of the state) which, unlike more southerly towns, were laid out at true north rather than magnetic.  Many have no names beyond the township/range numbers.  My favorite trout town, Deboullie (25 miles SW from Fort Kent), is also labeled T15R9.

    Bigfoot lives there.

    This is from a couple of days ago but pretty sweet

     

    That is pretty awesome.  I am usually thinking of drones, and footage looking down, or out over landscapes on sunny days, but there is definitely a place for them to view awesome weather events in the sky.

    We didn't have them growing up either, They had originally popped up in the mid coast area in the last 10 yrs or so and have migrated further inland in the past several years here.

    With such a jagged, freeform state outline, and rough topography, I didn't realize so many town borders are orthogonal looking.

    Very dry weather and heat plus anomalous blocking pattern is exacerbated by CC. 

    Of course conspiracy theorists are going rampant on Twitter that this was all a setup. The entire world could be on fire and they'll always claim that. 

    Hopefully the sane people win out though.

    Yeah, I can see the tag lines now. I picture a post like this...Canadian smoke and mirrors show purposely distracting us from the "Big Picture".

    I’ve had them around here off and on.  Super annoying. 
     

    And last night I went to let our dog out and there was some bizarre animal noise.  I put on my head lamp and there was a rabbit.  Made a super loud sound

    Fisher Cats make the ultimate bizarre noise.

    I would like to express my sincere condolences to all the Bruins fans. A record setting season snuffed out in the first round. 
     

    I can’t really do that though. As a Canadiens fan all I can do is laugh. 

    Blunt, and honest.
