Got to love this paragraph. If I'm reading it correctly eversource, if temperatures are similar to the warmest 10-year period on the face of the Earth I'm good?

 

"Last winter’s bills were higher in part because the weather was much colder than usual. If this winter’s weather and energy use go back to what's typical over the past 10 years, even with higher rates, we estimate your total bill to be similar to last year."

While we're at it why don't you quantify similar. I'm willing to bet you don't mean less.

I went to the BigE today.. I don't miss living in that area at all :lol:.. 

Because it's hot? I like it out there, more of a laid back valley lifestyle. Even where you and I are now is kind of connected to the Boston hustle vibe. RT 2 East is packed in the AM.

Franklin Co W of the CT River is where you really start to feel disconnected from E MA.    I mean, the Quabbin Hilltowns are pretty rural and isolated too but Greenfield and W is where you realize, you are not commuting distance to Boston and are not close to any populated areas.   I lived in Cambridge for many years, so I still miss the restaurants and entertainment, just not the crowds and traffic.

It’s not doing a whole lot…yeah there’s a little surface condensation, but it barely gets into the ground. On dense fog nights where we saturate early, at best I get a 0.01” tip of the black rain gauge. Maybe it helps your seed on the surface germinate, but that’s about it. You had some decent rains recently too so you’re in a different boat than me.

The 6” soil moisture here is back to the 90-100cb range after “moistening” up to 70-80cb a week ago. I’ll probably start hitting uncharted territory in the next week or two.

It has minimal to do with measured precip. 

 

Absorption through the leaves is the driving factor. With the near ideal radiational cooling, have had consistent 10-12 hours of dew. It is not a replacement for rain but it definitely has halted drought effects on most shrubs, flowers and grasses locally.

Meh…dew happens every night. I haven’t even had much fog here yet. The little bit of foliar moisture the leaves absorb is transpired out by mid morning. Obviously it lessens or temporarily halts the stress until the next day, but isn’t doing much. Sure, it’s better than a well mixed, dry night.

Every lawn here is scorched brown, but you’ve had a lot more rain than we have too.

Sell . No ensemble support 

I’ll sell that look, but most models do eject some PVA our way while a little lobe of an ULL tries to interact as it drops due south out of QB. EC, ggem, and 6z gfs all look wetter than they did yesterday. I don’t think that 00z gfs look is happening as it was phasing off to our SW and closed the hole system off under us.

Yes agreed on the rain difference vs your area. That said, I’m looking at landscapes relative to the drought monitor conditions…

In my experience the seacoast doesn’t radiate well, especially right in the cities, which is where I’m at.

Our higher dews than the interior may have made this affect more impactful on the local landscapes.

Again, a walk around town, it doesn’t look like severe drought. The drought conditions are hardly noticeable in most cases until, of course, you get to a river..Different world.
