Just went through the 11/15/18 snow event. What a great event for all except Diane.

11-26/27-14, out this way, was a great, early season event.

WTF is happening to this thread?  

#normal summer

Gee, it's going to be hot for a few days in July.  Wow, so anomalous.

I've had A/C on for less than 48 hours this week.

Tonight, fans in windows and I'm comfy, if not a bit chilly in shorts and tank top.

#what is not to like?

Look like you missed the heavy stuff, well done. Getting trained on now. 

Yeah, no interest in a Summer 2018, that was the first time since we moved here in 2008 that we ever had mildew and mold.

There’s not much rain left anywhere except maybe S CT coast to CC

Yeah, at least the garden got moistened.  I won't complain too much because less moisture to evaporate into the air over the weekend torch and I can always get the hoses out for the plants.

Anyway, it beats last summer's mildew fest.

Barely a drop. Brown grass easily noticeably around town.

You and I, although 80+  miles apart, just stepping in sync summer and winter with precipitation.  Desperately need rain here but also will take drought over repeat of last summer.  Lets hope we finally make up for qpf in the winter for once!

Nice event so far.  Lots of booming.  Quiet now but we wait for more.

When?  Next week?

Whopping .09” right now

Yeah, my yard has been bone dry for 2 weeks and I got just about .20" in the stratus when I was hoping for 1-2".   Hardly any thunder or wind either.  I bet tomorrow is basically dry.

The cells just kept training over me.  Things are quieting down for the moment.  Looks like about 2.80" over about an hour.  Should be interesting to see what happens with that stuff off to the west.  I'd imagine we could see some localized flash flooding (if not already).

I will miss most of that.

About 2.60" here so far.  Cells keep coming...lots of lightning and thunder.

What the hell, only .25" in Greenfield today. 

 Damn, dry ground in Greenfield! I have no idea how that line missed us.

Just now, radarman said:

Viee out the office winfow @ UMass

Not terrible for these parts

 Yeah I saw that coming up 91 towards Greenfield but nowhere to stop for a picture.  some very droopy dark clouds though.

 That line that moved through here it looked better on the radar than it actually was. About 10 minutes of heavy rain but very little thunder or lightning .

Looks like S VT Will be getting deluged soon.

Regarding Saturday HHH, we have an open concept great room with 20' cathedral ceilings. Total sqft including foyer and kitchen is 740sqft. Too late to get a mini split, so was thinking of 12,000 btu window rattler. With all the open space, I'm not sure how effective a window unit will be, so burning $450 may be a waste. Plus we have large windows that lets the sun in, so I'm thinking the unit will provide little relief for our BBQ guests.

 We have a similar set up at home that is 620 ft.² and do it with a 14,000 BTU portable with another 6000 BTU window unit in the dining room.  Those +2 fans and the ceiling fan usually make even the worst HHH days quite bearable.

Hmmmm, Think I'll throw the family in the car Friday and head for Falmouth but not sure we are going to get too much relief there either.

I was with Kevin once near his house and he showed me the elevation on his phone...it wasn't too terribly far from 1,000. 

He wouldn't let you come in?

A lot of cloud contamination here this afternoon.  78F

If i checked in all the beer brands i have consumed over the years it would rival the thickness of a bible.

Yeah, in my line of work I'm sure I would be in the thousands.  

I have saved a few hundred individual cans with, the qualification being, I needed to like the artwork and the liquid for it to be a keeper.  They adorn the steal beams of my basement and will go into the man cave when I build it.

I’ll take an 80 dewpoint. Thin out the herd

I've never seen/felt one before.  I bet we cap out in the low 70's at the major stations.

Welp, looks like the rain is a bust down here. Fizzling out as it approaches just like every deform band in the last few years.

Nothing here today.

A welcomed sight. I have spring planted evergreens but I’d rather water them myself if weather can stay dry. 

 Perfectly comfy summer past few weeks with the expected brief forays into hot and humid. 

Wow, unlike last year, NW MA is being missed left and right by the rains this summer.  Less than .25" the past 10 days.

Thur and Fri stank air then back to perfection. What a difference from last year’s debacle.

High heat don't mean a thing, if it ain't got that humidity swing.  High and dry we don't cry.  Vegetation could use a drink but we have hoses and water bills to deal with that.

 Perfect summer week so far, I really am not sure where the heat hype has any actual roots. 

70/60. Perfect.

All things considered it has been typical weather for July.

Certainly nothing out of the ordinary so far.
