  1. Well, Halloween is reasonable I would say.
  2. You’ll need to post more, especially in the winter, because we don’t have many people from Hampshire and Franklin counties.
  3. Those are impressive rain totals for the Eastern folks. Greenfield was only around .50” for the two day total.
  4. Spectacular afternoon and evening in Western Mass. Mostly sunny and 70°. Nice way to end the last day of the Franklin County Fair.
  5. Rain ended here around 9 AM hoping for some breaks of sun this afternoon.
  6. I don’t think he’s played that live since the 70s. I heard that he is doing an acoustic set mid show. Clapton is awesome live.
  7. I mean, to be clear, today was a little disappointing relative to the modeled potential, right?
  8. Sun trying to break out here. Picked up. .25” in the thunderstorm.
  9. Heavy rain here now, but not really any wind to speak of.
  10. Well, that was a lot more impressive on radar than the ground truth observations. A couple of OK gusts and some rumbles but pretty benign so far in Greenfield.
  11. The Cell looks to be just about on top of me now but not much rain and just a few rumbles. Wind is starting to pick up though.
  12. The view there is OK. Top of Mt Sugarloaf is the place. Drive to the top and there’s a viewing platform.
  13. Any of the big farm fields in Hadley or Sunderland should be good
  14. You can go to the Rendevous in Turner Falls afterwards and have a three dollar pint of PBR!
  15. Like @radarmansaid, TF airport or Poets Seat tower in Greenfield is awesome. You can drive up to the top of that hill and there’s five or six parking spots and a stone tower you can climb. Great views in all directions.
  16. I had about 3.8" rain for July/Aug which is dry for this part of New England. I know some surrounding Franklin Co. towns are lower than that. Coming down Rt 2 tonight I could see premature leaf fade and droop, especially in that Fitchburg to Hubbardston corridor. There was also a few red lit swamp maples.
  17. I’ll take the under. We’ve been getting porked the past six weeks. Greenfield got lucky with a very isolated downpour two weeks ago that dropped over a half inch but it’s dry, the rivers are very low.
  18. I agree, but the distance between “official” reference points across the northwestern part of Massachusetts leaves a lot of gaps.
  19. Some years Orange airport never hits 90. It kills me that it is the only official station in Franklin or Hampshire counties. It’s not exactly representative of temperatures in W MA. I think it’s basically Orange, North Adams and Westfield with a massive triangle of area in between, with no official observations.
  20. Yeah, it’s pretty bad. Well into moderate drought state now.
