Headway is good stuff if you ask me. A very solid IPA, differs from say a Treehouse or Trillium IPA. He was the head brewer at NEBCO so he has made some great beers in the past and no reason to think that will change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's diagnostic for the polyhedral virus that has ended some past outbreaks. (Otherwise, something else killed them.) I hate black flies more then ticks Blackflies are irritating, but the season here lasts only 2-3 weeks (longer when I lived up north.) Ticks are around whenever the snow is gone, along with possibly causing something much worse than an itchy couple of days. When it comes to biting flies, I find deerflies 10X worse than either blackflies or mosquitos. Can't outrun deerflies (I've had them pace my vehicle at up to 20 mph) and no repellent short of flaming kerosene has any effect. Note to dendrite: I've never been bitten by any of the thousands of blackflies that have wound up in my vehicles, tents, etc. Mosquitos are another story. We've thought about it. Nothing worse than one picking up your trail on the golf course. Hard to concentrate on the par putts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These were definitely biting. I had a few lodging into my skin while loading the truck up. I have about 50 bites on me from last night...didn't see one mosquito. I know there's only a few species that bite humans. I think I have all of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just had our yearly severe weather simulated warning event. Our SOO chose 7/18/16 for the event, so training may be the best event of this year too. It was the event that @wx2fish passed along damage pictures up in Pittsburg. So I did manage some small lead time on the tornado because I recognized that as I saw the couplet forming.

Hard to concentrate on the par putts. Glad I don't golf. Unlike blackflies, which usually become less ambitious when temps get to 85+, deerflies revel in the heat. (1996 was a glaring exception, featuring the worst blackflies of my experience, hordes swarming at 90+ and Ben's 100 lasting barely one hour.) When I would be cruising timber on hot days in the Allagash-St. John country, there would be dozens to hundreds of flies circling. Most would be non-biting "sweatlickers" that look like slightly downsized houseflies, but one could not tell which of the buzzing bombers carried knives. I rarely wear a hat unless it's quite cold, and though I'd liberally apply repellent, I could count on squashing a deerfly any time I smacked my head back where the hair whorls (where the flies don't have to crawl thru hair to reach paydirt.) After 8 hours of that, headaches were common, and when I got home I had to comb fly parts out of my hair. And concerning bugs-in-trucks, it's open season while one is loading the vehicle, but in my experience I don't get attacked by blackflies while I'm inside with them and the doors are closed. Mosquitos continue to hunt while blackflies (and deerflies, fortunately) look for a way out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typhoon Tip Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Well ... if we choose to believe the EDD product at NWS Taunton's site ...91 is popped at multiple locations. But I'm wondering, NAM MOS has 97 at KBED tomorrow, over a DP of 62. That should HI out at around 97 or 98... is that enough for a heat advisory?

CT Valley Snowman Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 HFD seems a bit low but their wind came in at South vs West at BDL. Perhaps a bit of cooling going on right along the river at HFD with a S flow that BDL, at 3 miles West of the CT river and 12 miles further north isn't experiencing.
