What year was that ridiculous May heat… was that 2020 or 2021?

Like 95F at SLK at 1,600ft.

May 22, 1977.  The day I chose to add 6" fiberglass insulation to the attic of our first house in Fort Kent.  Fortunately, it was a small house - 2-story 18x20 - and I was done by 11 AM.  Temp was probably 120+ up there by then.  CAR temps 22-24 were 96, 95, 94 and the low on the 23rd was 69; that 82° is just 0.5° below their hottest mean.

O.K. Damage-Devas-- The scene from Monson after Saturday's violent down-burst. The smoke in one of the pics is from a live wire--

Looks like 65 mph type stuff. Wish that could happen here . Shed looks salvageable?

2-3' on the GFS end of the week into Saturday. Deformation and ratios TBD.

CT should be ok by Sat late morning but AEMATT may have a wettie

1.2” today, 3” MTD

[Damage In Tolland]

.71 so far. Radar looks anemic for now We’ll see how the 3-6” forecasts here some had and flood watches work out . Time will tell

Perfect track Fri/Sat for SNE.

I don’t want to hear any bitching come winter now.

Plenty of time to trend north which seems likely

Biggest heat this summer will mostly be well west of New England.

Luckily, the shed structurally came through pretty well. Just need to add a some roofing once I figure out how to remove our fallen friend.

that's the only model that looks like that and the  radar does not look like that will verify.. congrats on hitting the wrong nail

Even 1:1 ratios would be great

And of course West. You know how those stupid models are always too far East. Western New York into The Great lakes is more likely.

I would use a chainsaw. But that's my solution to most everything.

Undercut the lower limb at the v standing on the uphill side. Might get lucky and it rolls off with the first cut. I can't see the end of the upper limb but gravity always wins. If it doesn't come off , keep undercutting until you get to the wall. Cut shorter pieces as you get closer to the wall it's likely going to slide towards you. It's a lot easier rolling something off when it's on a wall then jammed in the dirt. 

Forgot to mention, If the upper limb is being supported by the lower limb (not hitting the ground) cut as much of it as you can going slowly cutting small pieces (Don't cut over shoulder height). The less weight the better.
