With Canada torched like that, ain’t no cooling to be had Persistence works until it doesn't. I think it'll cool some but that's still probably mostly near or AN 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But days with abundant sunshine is going to be lower-to-mid 80's for higher elevations and coast and mid-to-upper 80's inland with the warmest days getting into the lower 90's. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be something if we can ever pull off a full summer month of like -2 again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We would probably need a summer like 2008 where we're dominated by cold pools. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dendrite Posted 7 hours ago Share Posted 7 hours ago People spray for ticks too? Terrible. Let’s just kill everything. Not scolding anyone here…I just hate what we’re doing to the environment and insects. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dendrite Posted 7 hours ago Share Posted 7 hours ago I’m well aware of the spraying. I just think I’d be shocked at how many actually do it…skeeters, ticks, grubs, etc. If I find a tick inside I take it outside and set it free. That’s how I roll. lol 1 1 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weather wise, it looks like we finally get relief from the humidity beginning later Friday and into the weekend. I’ll take it. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted 6 hours ago Share Posted 6 hours ago New landslides this week on Mt Colden in the Adirondacks from the heavy rain the other day. Two freshies from the DEC photos. One on the left and one on the right, lighter colors than the old ones. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s how I roll. lol Might roll differently if one hid in your short hairs and gave you Lyme or anaplas. We're in the woods with forest close to 3 sides of the house, so the tactic below would likely be futile here: Years ago I read of using drier lint (or cotton) mixed with pyrethrin - safely, with gloves - and stuffed into TP rolls or the like. We call the main disease-carrying tick a deer tick, but small rodents - everywhere in the woods - are the main animal vectors and they love that stuffing for nests, thus eliminating the ticks. However, one must place rolls no more than 10 feet apart near the lawn edge and cover them to prevent rain from soaking them. A lawn with 100 yards of edge would require 30 rolls, and they would need to be replaced every few weeks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nightime when your sleeping is when they most likely are bitting you. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
