Awful last night, can't count how many times the heat kept kicking in. Was literally like February with how much the heat kept consistently coming on. At least its warmed up out but that wind negates it a bit. 

Quite the snowstorm about to unfold for Denver too lol...bufkit spitting out a foot of snow on NAM/GFS for Denver lol. 

You weren't warmed by the thoughts of the Canadiens advancing in the Stanley Cup playoffs?

Haven't used the heat in a few weeks and just gutted our way through some cool weather. Oil is way too expensive now. I think the worst is over though and milder times are ahead.

I would have been on fire had the Bruins advanced too, setting up a B's/Canadiens second round matchup.

What sucks about the current playoff format is the Bruins/Canadiens will never face each other in the conference finals...unless the league goes back to 1-8 formatting which doesn't sound like will be happening anytime soon.

34F in July of 1956 and 34F in August of 1956.

9 of the first 12 years of that Coventry station back in the the 1950s and 1960s saw July min temps in the 30s.

Good luck with that today.

Looking at that reminds me of when Dendrite posts the old CON data and it just looks so far fetched to what we see these summers at night.

Yeah there’s some yore with those temps. May be the Maple Hollow guy.

The wind is capping the mild today. hovering in the upper 50's/low 60s

More standing wave BS this afternoon. We’ve been blocked by a thin line of clouds for hours.

The format sucks and is nearly incomprehensible.

Yeah not a fan of it at all. Who knows, maybe this will be bought up during the next CBA meetings which will be shortly (they've already been addressing some topics).

It is sooooo depressing when you see big CAPE building into the upper-Midwest and Great Lakes region then watch it just get destroyed and shunted to our southwest when you loop it. Very depressing
