Did you write “I love you “ on the pollen on the furniture to the family?

Hasn’t been too bad with the lighter bout of rain. But oak dong season is here.

Min 52.9°

Could get some showers although it’s mostly north of here

[dendrite]

Haha yeah the weekend turned into a mess.

Hopefully that fucks up everyone’s fireworks.

Yeah even from Southbridge/Sturbridge to Woodstock… elevation is only like 250ft to 750ft (but urban to cornfields/forests) and it’ll go from 90F to 83F.  Lebanon Hill Road drops like a degree every quarter mile, ha.

Same here. Forests definitely help with cooling. Really hating all the stripped Forests to put up Solar Panels farms

Was in Waltham and Brookline yesterday......car registered 88 and 99 in the two locations.

Meanwhile we hit 71* at the new Pit1 in Mattapoisett.  I'll take it.

My sister has a rental house out on Pt Judith in Narragansett. I spent last spring/early summer living there and working on it. Place is like 60 degrees all the time. I would drive up to Home Depot near Providence and its like a 30-35 degree difference.

Took this screenshot yesterday. Me and my brother in law setup a Wunderground station. Its the 60 degree reading on the bottom. Place barely even hits 80 in July/August.

2B people in 1950. Over 8.5B now. And they’re worried about the birth rate?

Breaks of sun now. Probably a late afternoon/early evening high as the WAA kicks back in. Then we steambath for 24-36hrs.

I haven’t seen any but there are a ton of the tiny green silkworms up there. Lots of holes in the Oak leaves already. We e had a lot of them the last few years . They have defoliated entire trees but do a number . Hopefully this is the year.

Where was that person from that posted that in CT? Probably Ginx area

I wonder if the polar jet is just going to continue careening straight through to the fall for fuck's sake

it won't stop.   So this is turning into just another prick tease warm up  - yet again.  At least it's more than a single day I suppose. 

But that's an October circulation ordeal after the front Thu/Fri. Then the weekend's obliterated by cold overrunning with a high banked N. 

F grade for very warm season respective -

Yeah. Northeast corner. That area always gets crushed by them.

Wasn't even a BD ... It was a N-S sag front.   But I mentioned this yesterday.  May not as warm in the E.

Do the temps still in the 60s E of 95 and 70s E of ORH for a while..  Winds are light behind this front and there's not a whole helluva lot of actual cold transport with that.  Shallow layer... Sun could eat it up by lunch, but with the winds in situ E and ENE already, I'm just wondering if the cold ocean anomaly might not be in the MOS/machine coverage very well. 

Day's long tho.  The NAM is insisting on a whip around collapse back NE with the front, showing a sfc SW wind burst at Logan in the 21 to 24hr period of early evening.  Late high for eastern zones.
