  1. My dad was the first person in MA to get Ehrlichiosis. Same deal, soembody from CDC flew up from Atlanta to interview him.
  2. Confirmed to be on Cape Cod and possibly the South Shore. Not enough information to confirm for other parts of the state. The Lonestar ticks are pretty discernible from deer ticks and dog ticks. Obviously, it becomes a more tenuous situation if a nymph bites you because you might never see or feel it.
  3. Days over 90° should probably be double what they are in Greenfield this summer but it’s just always cloudy now.
  4. That's their jam. W MA has had a lot of precipitation at the wrong times the past few years but our dry periods have timed well with regard to stinging/biting insects. This year there are more mean pests than the past few but my Vermont friends have been chirping loudly about them the past few weeks.
  5. Except for some localized flash flooding two summers ago, Franklin County has gotten screwed with precipitation summer and winter. Even that stretch of a dozen rainy weekends in a row it was just crappy weather without a lot of precipitation..
  6. It’s definitely accurate for most of W MA. Have not really had good rain for a few weeks.
  7. I'm in Falmouth so hoping the axis of heavy precip is from central CT through Boston tomorrow morning. Comfy night here.
  8. I like where I live and I'm glad most people don't live here.
  9. Heh’ soil starting to get that powdery feel here. Let’s Stein the rest of the week and bye-bye mosquitoes and gnats etc. maybe I picked a good year to forgo doing a vegetable garden?
  10. I’m not sure MPM ever broke 90° when he was at his old location out in Shelburne. I would consider moving to that area more for the winter than the summer breeze, but not many houses and certainly nothing affordable for us, that I would ever live in.
  11. I’ve only had one heat wave so far. Several close calls, but we get stuck in the upper 80s because of cloud cover.
  12. High of 87° so far in Greenfield. I’m sure we would’ve broken 90 but it’s always mostly cloudy now.
  13. Lawns around here are actually starting to brown out a bit. Very little rain so far in July.
  14. It’s been a warm but overcast stretch here in the upper Valley the past few weeks.
  15. I’ve been hanging at the town swimming area for the past hour and the breeze with mostly cloudy conditions is delightful. 84°
  16. We had about an hour of sun this morning and cloudy ever since. Low to mid 80s on all of the local stations.
  17. NW MA has had a lot of clouds during these hot days the past two weeks. I’m guessing our daily highs would’ve been a few degrees higher.
  18. Wow, I just saw that the death toll in that Texas flood is over 80 now. It’s crazy to have a death toll that high from flooding in a relatively small area. The water must’ve come in like a wall.
