It’s tough at times, but we find a way.

Us and the bears.

A couple days ago a family returned to their multimillion dollar Robinson Springs home in Stowe and a bear was sitting in their kitchen eating food from their freezer.  Opened an unlocked door and walked right in.

We are having regular bear appearances down here to the point where it’s not even news - they are on peoples ring cameras every day.  We lock up because of thieves so no bear fridge raiders thus far.  In fact, they seem to stay out of the trash, too.  Must be some good natural vittles around.  Bobcats, bears, coyotes (millions of those).  Every day I see one of these on someones ring in my small town.  Yet to see a bear in person tho.  The others all the time.  And the rabbits, holy shit the rabbits.  Theres a million people in this county and somehow we have an explosion of wildlife thriving.  I’m cool with it.  Coyote fucked up a neighbors dog and chewed the guy up a little bit. That was on my block in the winter.  People carry because of the coyotes now.

It’s true, if you see a bear video on social media from a black bear doing something funny, it’s like either from VT or CT.

Theres a ton of bear content coming out of CT, mostly higher population and all with cameras now.

But yeah, I do notice it’s either VT or CT it seems like, and especially western CT into adjacent NY (like Columbia and Dutchess Counties).

I wish I could post videos on here.  My buddy has one of a bear a couple weeks ago chewing on his Amazon package on his ring camera… another one has a bear rolling his grill off his deck.

1.10” so far today. Most of that was this morning.

Dry evening, take

[CoastalWx]

That’s a lot of convection to the south. Hopefully not robbing the moisture.

I had a big bear in my yard two weeks ago, first time I've ever seen one in my neck of the woods, looked at me and my pup and just went on his way.

Hartford has a high amount of sightings for some reason.

Oh my lord, chop it and burn it! 

I've got a lady who wants a 'fairy' bridge though, a nice locust leaner would about do the trick for the main beams. I had a leaner white oak at my house I cut for it but I decided it was too small... Put it off anyway

You can certainly tell which way it was leaning.

Fun to be under it-- Heavy showers seemingly back building from the east (redeveloping?) this evening in Monson.

Great firewood, I would get a 12+ hour burn with a load of locust.

Jesus Nam is wild from HFD to BOS

[CT Rain]

00z NAM washes away southern ORH county tomorrow AM.

[CoastalWx]

3K a little more tame but still hints.

 

Key will be what tries to develop behind this convection tonight.

Talked about it earlier. Little low looks like it tries to ride the boundary and it’s just a deluge. Last few runs of the HRRR have been frisky too. 

[WxWatcher007]

I want to see what the HREF does tonight
