No, but I can tell it's definitely warmer, and it's only on blower mode in the AM I never hear the condensor run. Time to buy an inside thermometer I guess.

wxmanmitch Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 According to my thermostat, I have yet to exceed 70° F in the house. 68° F in here last check. It is in an interior hallway, so I think it runs a little cooler than some of the rooms that get sun. But, regardless, I haven't even turned on the fans yet, although I will open the windows in the afternoon to actually let some of the warm air in so it's not cold at night. It's amazing how cool it stays, even on warm, sunny days. #NoACneeded The black flies are waning a bit, but they're still a nuisance, especially in the early evening. I planted a row of 10 2-3 foot paper birch tree saplings that I ordered online from a nursery in upper lower Michigan on the side of my driveway to narrow it a bit. I also got a couple of white oaks from them as an experiment to see how they do up here. They grow naturally in the valleys, particularly in the Williamstown, MA (there's even a section of town called White Oaks) and Pownal, VT areas with some Black and Scarlet Oak mixed in too. I put them in the sunniest, driest location I could find. The more cold tolerant Northern Red Oaks fade out around 1,400-1,500' around here, so I'm not convinced they'll survive.

You will probably need the heat anyways if the GFS is correct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's so difficult to get rid of the sfc moisture. Cukes and any squash like plants have been ipossible for me due to powdery mildew. At least the kale thrives.

Damage In Tolland Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Not much rain next week as most of it stays Sw of New England, but the models are succeeding in 2-3 days of 40’s for highs. Unreal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unreal This is pretty crazy for June. Up here the Euro has 3 days in the 40s, another barely to 51F and then two days of low 60s. I mean that above is crazy cold. Here's ORH, a little better but not much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Another excellent day through early/mid afternoon before the clouds moved in. What a fantastic stretch of weather since the end of April though. Here's a view from Barnes Camp at Stowe, right near the 1,500ft snowstake.

Models keep bumping much of the rains SW. So I guess we can hope it’s mainly cloudy with maybe just a few bouts of showers or sonething . Cool temps, but dry and cool would be much more bearable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
