Japanese Beetle is also now offensive I read. Interesting
The Japanese Beetle is native to Japan. Not sure if that’s a good comparison…

I like a cool day on the 4th, hate to be outside with sweat running down my asscrack.
I’ll totally take 70’s on the fourth. There’s nothing worse than roasting in the sun for two hours at the Bristol parade. Not as much shade as there used to be do to trees dying…

Single species green grass is horrible for the ecology. The healthy balance of the latter requires a bio-diversity in every direction, that which cannot be footed by grass, alone. If there are gardens? They do much better if they are adjacent to this competition, which brings in pollinating insects - that's just one example in how the ecology requires diversity. ...Duh. But, in particular ...when neighborhoods are developed with bifurcating asphalt streets/divisions, where the abutting lands create a patchwork of exclusive, excessively maintained grass/lawn care .. you are thus contributing to an unhealthy natural setting and ecology. This is making the 1980s "Stepford" lawn look increasingly outmoded.
There is a reason why in progressive 'state of the art' regions, where awareness of this has led to cultivating low elevation pollinator flowering species, and is becoming practice. And it's not just "weed" - it's choosing Japanese Iris, and alpine Delphinium sub-genres to grow with the grass, and allowing White Clover to integrate, along with grass. That is a vastly, vastly healthier lawn ( as just an example). And by virtue of stunning flower displays, there's no aesthetic contest.
Those that don't know about this/that it is happening ... probably live in a cultural mindset that is older, but are unfortunately on the wrong ( and getting wronger ) side of history.
I know there is a lawn thread, but since it’s being discussed here, I’ve been gradually reseeding my lawn with a mix of mini clover and drought resistant grass seed made of mostly tall fescue and perennial rye grass and been pleased. For reference:
https://www.outsidepride.com/seed/clover-seed/miniclover.html
https://www.scotts.com/en-us/products/grass-seed/scotts-turf-builder-grass-seed-tall-fescue-mix
I work two jobs and don’t have time or money to water or fertilize on a schedule, so mowing and trimming is the most amount of effort I can put in. Other than the few weeks where the clover is flowering the lawn looks decent even in the warmer months. I cut on the higher side in July and August and it helps prevent the crab grass and other weeds from establishing themselves. YMMV…

What do you grill food on?
He grills on Euro +10 temp anomalies. Gives the food a nice char.
Happy Father’s Day!

If you wanted some good yard work weather to get ready for your Fourth of July party(s), this is it. I’ll take it. Partly cloudy and 70 here.

Ended up being a pretty good storm for southern RI… no Stein today…

Yeah I'm right on the fringe. Still some moderate rain here. Fine by me. It's been dry...

Big cell in RI. That's a good one.
Yeah we got it pretty good here. Nothing severe, but a nice classic summer storm with heavy rain, thunder, lightning, and some wind. Just what the lawn needed.
-
Anyone else's RadarScope down? My feed is out of date on KBOX and KOKX... dang.
-
INCOMING!
Let's see if this line actually hits me or does the strong cells do the usual end run around me. Been doing yard work all day, just got everything inside.
-
Would be nice if that line made it here... could use some rain... but it's falling apart as it makes its way east...

Just curious, what is the radar detecting here (circled in red)? Cloud line? Wind shift?

Not the best night for KBOX Radar to be down…
Down to 65 here doubt that line makes it here as anything more than a brief shower.
-
I totally understand people liking warm, even hot weather. But why-the-f$!? does anyone like high dew points? You people enjoy ball dripping sweat all day? I honestly don’t get it. Dry heat beats swamp ass dew points by a mile…
Down to 67 here with the breeze. Quite pleasant! Only got to about 80 here but humid. Glad to be near nature’s air conditioning… was in Brooklyn CT for a party today for a few hours and it was 90!

Yup. I would say that about 75% of the time the heavy cells jump either north or south of me. RadarScope often has a line going right over me then they change direction slightly. Must be some sort of interaction with the bay or something. Sometimes we get a direct hit, especially if the storms are moving N or NNE direction. The more east they move the more they jump lol…

Hearing some rumbles in the distance. Quite surprised the line made it this far southeast. We could use some rain here too, it’s been on the dry side last couple of weeks…

Not sure if the OCtober snow = bad winter situation applies to summer warm temps...lol
Well in a general sense, if you get locked into a warm, above average pattern early on, it may change to something else less desirable by the summer lovers down the road. Whether that’s a more average, warmer, or cooler pattern, who knows…

Well, it’s going to fall where nobody lives. I bet Savoy Mountain SP is probably good for 2-4”.
Yeah there might be some surprises when people wake up. We have had some “fake” spring snow events last couple of years where the temps were marginal and it happened during the daytime hours, so they were duds. With most of this event happening mostly overnight there’s a better chance of accumulation in the places where it can happen…

Air fryers are glorified convection ovens. There’s ton of recipes and directions online. Many “Instant Pots” are also pressure cookers in most cases. I don’t think they are difficult to figure out, though you may need to do a quick read of the manual to figure out how to switch between different modes. Enjoy the free appliance!
