HIPPYVALLEY

Same here. They had been few and far between through may. A bigger more aggressive population all of a sudden. I would gladly take a week of hot and dry right now to knock the insects down a bit.

That's a whole different level of aggression. Yellow Jackets and White Faced Hornets are not to be f'd with, at least as far as their nesting area goes.

Yeah, black flies have been pretty much a non-factor here, ticks on the other hand have been out of control. One of the worst tick seasons I’ve ever experienced. i’ve had multiple bites, but fortunately all were caught very quickly. I had a PCP write me a Doxy scrip just to have on hand.

48/40.

50/44. Everybody is ready for some warmer weather.

Pretty clear out too.

Wait, now the GFS is a trustworthy model for you?

Couple of raindrops! I was really worried we were gonna get through the day without precipitation.

I would love to hit upper 80's this week because right now it is 49F and raining.

Greenfield has had some 10-20 minute breaks but it has been precipitating for 30 hours

The day is turning into a washout here. Very few breaks in the drizzle and then steady rain at times. Hopefully people east of here are at least getting in and OK Saturday this afternoon.

You tried to tell him.

Just noticed the radar really blossomed along the I 91 corridor south of here.

We’ve maybe had 10 minutes of sun and it’s been lots bursts of low level sheet drizzle since 11 AM.

I am up to 1.3 inches but looks like might finally let up in the next half hour. Those areas west of the Hudson Valley are getting drowned this morning.

1.1” here. Had hours of moderate rain.

Yay. Local farmers are already complaining about powder molds and stunted growth with some vegetables. If I was growing commercially I would definitely want greenhouses or hoop houses.

So, we are starting to get a lot of poison ivy, showing up in the back, wooded part of our yard. I’d rather not use toxins to kill it. Has anybody here had any luck with more natural solutions? I was thinking of mixing up a big batch of sea salt and vinegar to spray it with. I’m pretty sensitive to it so I’m not really interested in putting on gloves and pulling it up myself. Also looking to see if I could borrow some goats for a day or two. I would love to own a pair of goats, but I’m not quite ready for that commitment and they are not easy to contain.

I am early to middle June every year.

Same in Northampton right now except there’s also mist in the air.

I think mid 80s with dew points in the upper 60s qualifies as HHH.

Totally feasible to have an HHH summer with zero heat waves. Lots of low and mid 80s days. I think most would be fine with that.

Let’s get that and some Stein and everybody will be happy.

I’m completely ready for two suns setting in my Tatooine back yard. Please give me a summer averaging 80/50 for daytime temp/dp.

70+ DP’s? if I didn’t know, better, I would tell you to back away from the bong.
