monadnocks Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 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. You know, property owners can walk the street with the tree crews and discuss which trees need specific types of trimming. We did and they did a decent job. Of course, if you've got a ton of frontage, it's going to be a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moneypitmike Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Awful. Glad none of us were there or live there It was lovely. The pit torched to 82.4 today. Hopefully it will be a little more tolerable than that when I get home tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 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. Dryslot begs to differ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IrishRob17 Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 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.... Truth. I remember sitting in a meeting right after the first round of Stimulus came out and the discussion was which roads should be paved, and could be paved in the short window provided to get the job done in order to qualify for the funds. One of the local city engineers commented exactly what you are referring to, there are funds to fix the roads but no funds for the deteriorated pipes below grade. He asked whats the point of paving the road only to have to come back and rip it up on a regular basis to fix the pipes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know we've had Cantore up here during storms (he did an October broadcast from 2,500ft one night with just the lights of a snowcat behind him as it pounded snow), along with Eric Fisher. Gotta reach out to Trout. Anyone that loves watching snow fall, especially on a mountain or chases snowstorms is a good guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be surprised if any crossings on that highway are that old, since the interstates were mostly built in the 1960s-80s and essentially always set new crossings, if only because any existing ones were way too short for the new roads. 84, 83 last two days, fairly warm for my transpirationally cooled yard. The 85 in late May still reigns but only by a whisker. Unless we get some modest-dew warmth on W to NW winds, I think that May reading has a good chance to remain on top.

tamarack Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 That's pretty awesome. Agreed, and the fact that my daughter and family now live about 15 miles north of his hometown makes it moreso. If he was back there in January, I'd guess he was mega-bummed when the forecast 12-16" verified with an inch or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, those pics are just of a tuberculated nasty water main, which many pipes around the northeast look like since they're cast iron, its harmless, but it just looks gross. The below picture is of the culvert (or so it says on Patch.com). Officials from Concord General Services were not available for comment at post time since they were at the scene inspecting the drainpipe. The age of the pipe is unknown but probably dates back to long before the railroad yard was turned into the Capital Plaza Shopping Center on Storrs Street in the late 1950s and early 1960s.
