  1. Got attacked by a Scissortailed Flycatcher in Texas today while climbing a ladder past her nest with 3 babies in it. Truly a magnificent bird!
  2. 2 days in a row with greater than 4" hail in the metroplex
  3. Just missed. Looked like small hail up in Leverett
  4. PWM may set a record low max today. Yesterday was #3 on the (roughly) midnight high. But the daytime high was 5 degrees colder than the record low max from 1915.
  5. Pretty good bet that somewhere in the Shirley Lake/Granite Chief area of PT will have snow into August this year. It's not too bad of a hike over from High Camp
  6. I'm not seeing it here Lloyd Nice storm though
  7. Yeah looking like it's weakening and ticking west also. I could have used the rain. Might get a few sprinkles.
  8. Congrats on the hail folks Here locally seeing some velocities on the UMass radar to 45-50 MPH in this cell as it drops down the valley. Not severe but not terrible.
  9. In lieu of installing I just leave the doors and windows open during the day when home. Hopefully I don't get an uninvited visitor dropping in, but it's not out of the question.
  10. This fella just wandered out onto the lawn. I saw my wife go running and thought maybe her phone was ringing. Big guy
  11. Our backyard firepit Mosquitos mostly preclude Last night, glorious
  12. This is why we've been going to Truckee in July lately
  13. My wife and I joke that the risk of famine is widely overstated in light of this fact
  14. Remember it like yesterday. 18-24" up high at KMart and tickets were free for all.
  15. Whatever you do don't mow it. The rhizomes will just get dispersed and it'll make it worse. IMO the best thing to do is just pull it out of the ground every time it comes up. Be careful how you dispose of it. The energy it uses to grow is not recovered and over the course of 5-10 years it looks worse and worse til it eventually gives up.
  16. After the caterpillars killed off several oaks woodpeckers of all variety have taken up residence here. It sounds like a construction site after 5 AM.
  17. Nice work. Per a friend Quabbin has been really good for smallies and they're just getting on the beds now. Salmon apparently have been tough, but the word is that there is a ridiculous amount of baitfish out there showing up on fishfinders... so maybe that bodes well for some big fish of all varieties down the road. At any rate, if you're pulling in 6lb'ers at Sebago you're probably not missing much.
  18. Nothing personal but here's to a nice big ridge over your head
  19. We water and cover and hope for the best. Point and click has 27 here, which would be less than ideal but we may be able to withstand it. Much lower and we'll be starting over.
  20. Lets hope that freeze watch is a bust thx. I know... should not have planted sensitive stuff this early.
  21. Nice well mixed breezy afternoon keeps them at bay.
  22. Will this be 18 straight days of BN highs for many?
  23. Good day to have a brush fire before the burn bans start. Otherwise fairly unpleasant.
  24. That cell SW of the metroplex headed generally toward Stephenville is a beast.
