tamarack Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Looks like another night that tickled U50s. Same here. Thus far I've had 6 days which failed to drop below 60 this summer, 4 right at 60, one each at 61,62. I'm guessing that tomorrow and Wednesday mornings might add to the (rather modest) total.

But at least they have restaurantsThey're putting in a high end restaurant and a few other shops on that piece of wooded land next to Mobil and they just got approval on the south side of the bridge over 84 for a drive they so some sort of fast food place will open up down there where 7-11 used to be on 195 on way to UconnOn another note.. Highway to hell in full effect @TollandAlert: #Tollandfire & @CT_STATE_POLICE on scene of a MVA, 2 for transport. Expect delays on I84 east between exit 67 & 68.

When are they going to address that highway problem? Someone needs to add up all the time and resources spent addressing traffic accidents and figure out it's time to fix the highway design. Congrats on the ranking with other developing towns. Somers made the Money magazine list a few years ago as well. I still prefer Stafford/Union.

It's about time. https://madis.ncep.noaa.gov/madis_hfmetar.shtml They've been talking about this for years. The real question is will it be open to the public so we can finally argue about reaching 90 in between the hourlies in real time rather than wait for the end of day climate summary.

jsw Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Sitting at 88/61 right now in Brattleboro, after a high of 90F. Both my dog (Bernese - Swiss - Mountain Dog) and I are suffering. We hate summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Got up to 84.7 at the pit. Back down to 83.4/64 Magic of the Pit. We hit at least 89F at 750ft and 86F at 1,500ft up here. Even 74F at 4,000ft. It must take an act of God to get you to 90F. I can't even fathom how warm it would have to be upstairs to get you to 90F....maybe 80F at 4,000ft could do it?

It's not dangerous at all to drive..but with several accidents per week..most serious..obviously something is going on there Reminds me of that section of 95 through Old Lyme where LifeStar seems to visit at least once a week. I think there are just some sections of highway that lend themselves to people driving faster than they should or realize, and zoning out because they're in the middle of nowhere. Though I thought I heard the worst section of highway in the state was 95 between 19 and 24, but that may be shear number of accidents per mile as opposed to frequency of bad accidents. I know down this way you can bet on an accident between 4 and 5 in the left lane. It's like clockwork every day at rush hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have to be 80 at 4K or 99-100 at BAF or CEF for MPM to do the trick. 97 or so before ORH might do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damage In Tolland Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 It's so weird, I used to drive it all the time and always thought the road to UConn was far more dangerous but nope, only accidents were on that stretch. Well there's obviously some outside forces that are at play here. Some higher power is taking pleasure in seeing accident,s injuries and even deaths there. 2 years ago..there was a photographer from S Ct driving up to my daughters school for picture day. It was in September. Dude drove off the road and died instantly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
