ocean effect clouds spoiling the day here. had to send the kid to preschool in a winter hat and mittens today

there's a high pressure settling into GL and Northeast.basically zero chance in that setup for anything riding up the coast as a strong storm. only shot is the storm is slower and the trough digs in faster after the HP moves out

1.47". lawn is looking good

1.17"

I was too high From a coastal risk perspective, U.S. emergency officials should consider a plan involving a major hurricane – at Category 3 or higher intensity – every 30 to 40 years instead of every 100 or 200 years as currently believed.

1815 was close. so its a once every 100-150 year type storm based on the small 400 year sample size. Carol in 1954 was pretty bad too (Cat 3).

My ambient seems ok with the rain gauge - and my temps/dews run about 3-5 degrees too high.but thats due to the proximity to the roof. My winds are also junk (way too low) for the same reasons. I need to buy a 6ft pole to get it higher and on the opposite end of the chimney. Once I move and raise it, I may put it online.

I'm not 100% convinced of that. It was 80+ years ago

Heading up to Ashburnham around Columbus day weekend. Should be pretty decent by then

I'll see your and raise you .01

I'm punting days like today to the moon, though. I can do without the gray backdrop of late-April onshore puke flow

Have barely followed this storm..and nothing suggests its coming close. Save your energy for Winter!

I haven't used my hoodie yet. Maybe tomorrow morning will be the first time, if I happen to be outside at 5am - but mostly to protect against mosquitos.

I have an insect identifier app, and this is what I got. maybe if you can get a clearer picture of it, I can run it again. make sure to get real close
