CoastalWx Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Speaking of which... the nearby PWS has already lost 17 degrees since the high of 89F. As of 8pm its down to 72F as that mountain valley air conditioning turns on. This is when I used to remember living in downtown Burlington and on a hot summer day, temperatures would still be in the low 80s at like 10pm, while over in the mountain valley towns they'd be down into the upper 60s. You can see the BTV area heat island right now as they are still locally in the 80s at 8pm. August_18_temps.jpg I was driving down 100 from echo lake at 3pm and my car thermo was 81. I will give the valley/lush green vegetation helping, but it didn't really spike until after 3 when it hit maybe mid 80s? This is awesome. Already nice air coming off the 1600-1800 ft slopes to my NE. It was very warm in the sun/open area, but tough to find a large somewhat urban area around here. Very pretty area. I really enjoyed it, although perhaps a bit too quiet lol. Still, Ludlow is a cool town. Woodstock was a beautiful town as well. All areas still show scars from Irene.

CT Valley Snowman Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 92 here. Convective debris and outflow from storms put a halt on temps or we were going 94-95. High was at 1:40. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CapturedNature Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 It's good to see Eversource installing new transformer switches....hopefully this helps in the next big event. I'd like to see them installed in Connecticut which really seems to struggle over surrounding states when it comes to power outages. http://www.masslive.com/business-news/index.ssf/2015/08/eversource_installs_smart_switches_to_av.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baroclinic Zone Posted August 19, 2015 Author Share Posted August 19, 2015 71/67. Surprising with clear skies. The brewery is going to be a sauna tomorrow. That sucks. I've hung out at my friends brewery while they've brewed and it gets to be 100-105F in there. Nice workout with a sauna bath. 93F for my hight yesterday.

eekuasepinniW Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Eversource has been hacking the trees to death on my street. They did some last year, but really came back and went overboard this time. Parts of the road seem so wide now, and all that brush was hiding things nobody wants to look at. Sad thing is, it won't accomplish anything because their bucket truck can't even come close to reaching the problem pines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobbutts Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Good thing that sinkhole on I93 didnt occur on Friday afternoon....the traffic is already bad enough. Never would have expected a sinkhole there. Coincidentally I just watched an episode of Engineering Disasters about sinkholes earlier this week and was thinking to myself it's unlikely we'd ever see one here . New Hampshire, The Granite State, is more immune to the threat of sinkholes. “There’s a conspicuous absence of carbonate rocks in New Hampshire,” said state geologist Rick Chormann. “Our limestone has all been cooked and compressed over millions of years.” http://northernwoodlands.org/outside_story/article/sinkhole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That 3" in 1hr yesterday probably didn't help. Particularly if there's a culvert there. We don't get dissolving limestone sinkholes in NNE, but failed culvert ones aren't all that uncommon.

MaineJayhawk Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Heat wave in the interior up here. KLEW working on a streak of five days 90+, KSFM with four and KIZG checking in with three-in-a-row.

The beach is def the place to be - I chose Kettle Cove in Cape Elizabeth. Impressive for 5 days of 90F or more at LEW and three at IZG! We came close up here with 84F, 83F, 86F, 89F, 90F, 90F, past 6 days at MVL. Almost an official heat wave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whineminster Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Yup...article now says it was a failed culvert. If I had to guess by the pictures of the drain line, I'd say its over 100 years easy, probably late 1800s actually. Problem is most cities don't inspect their underground infrastructure until there's a failure..... Politicians love talking about roads and bridges but don't give two hoots about drain/sewer/water which is just as deteriorated. Little do they know most water mains look like this in the northeast.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
