HIPPYVALLEY

I thought the Euro looked pretty warm overall for next week.  Talk about boring weather but I'll enjoy the warm and dry pattern while it lasts.

Just an absolute banner September for yellow jackets this year. I've never seen so many in so many places.

Did anyone uninstall? Honestly? That’s crazy 

No but more out of laziness than anything.  

If it's 80!s in Sept and humid I'll turn em' on for a few hours. 

Gorgeous today.  Did the corn maze and hot sauce fest in Sunderland and it was 80F at the farm under blue sky.

Was up in Manchester, VT area this weekend for a wedding. I thought it was rather remarkable just how much color showed up in the higher elevations between Friday afternoon and Sunday morning. BTW, I'd forgotten what a beautiful area that is in general. 

That's interesting because opposite here,  some color is definitely starting to pop here in the valley but coming through Savoy Mt Pass in the Berkshires yesterday, it was mostly pale green, leathery leaves.  It was kind of surprising because often they change first up there at 2k.  Might have something to do with precipitation this summer?

Today ended up being a wet rag. 

Great, raining here.  Who doesn't love a rainy Saturday?

Yup.... we are the hockomock here. I’ll keep everyone updated on any Bigfoot sightings or animal mutilations 

Chupacubras sightings are the money shot.

The family room was once a porch.  It has two walls that are entirely windows.  At least it has basement below it.

FWIW, the stove here is a gas one so easy to use to take off the chill and turn off.  Plus no mess.  That said, I do miss cutting and splitting wood.

Up to 56* now.

You are welcome to come stack wood here if you miss it.    ;  )

You’ll be in a good radiation spot with the swamp monsters.

Hockomock hell is cold and creepy.

First morning for the stove.  Came down to a 58* family room.  Need to get that chill off.

You need better insulation.

47F. Noticeable drop in mosquitoes. 

We were sitting by the fire tonight, watching how they receded by the 10 minute intervals.

Warm is not far away next week, hoping Southern WNE gets in on it.

Serious ass rain by Springfield.

South of pike jackpot.

GFS and Canadian both throwing highly anamolous temps over Hudson Bay next week.   Weird looking pattern, not sure I buy it. 

Next week looks warm. 

West is best for rain tomorrow?

Lol its 61 degrees out.

Ya' great summer night after a few cool ones.  Looking forward to an AN Sept. Going to head up to Lake Wyola tomorrow after I pick the boy up from school.  Next week looks great!

Alex what was your approximate snow total for last year ...130-140ish?

Stowe area or Crawford Notch are your best snow bets.  NEK is great but isolated.  Carrabasset Valley has the longest winters but is only a jackpot every 4 or 5 years.  Not sure how much you ski but Stowe and Sugraloaf are hands down the best mountains on the East Coast.

Next week looks pretty warm. Nothing crazy, but probably lots of 80s. 

If it's going to be boring it may as well be warm.

The EEE outbreak is making me dread every mosquito bite I get.

You are right to be cautious but just remember, the odds are very low that you will get it.

Zero people are cranky in this forum about not having a cool September...ZERO

There may be a couple I could think of but yeah, I'm fine with Sept heat.

Highly recommend "Thirty-Eight: The Hurricane That Changed New England" by Stephen Long.  Lots of details and pics.  My only (very parochial) lament was that it totally ignored the considerable damage to forests in western Maine - many thousand acres in that area hold trees dating from that event.

Also, New England Hurricane, A Factual Pictorial Record  By the Federal Writers Project is pretty good.  It was published in 1939 but you can find acceptable copies for short money.
