You need something to pop off the SE coast from a stalled front.

This is the year. When few are expecting it with a super Nino ( except me who thinks it the year)

You say the same thing every year. Never happens.

Beautiful day today. Sun feels strong. Hard to believe MET summer is just about 1/2 over.

Yeah. As I’ve gotten older, I yearn for more of these days.

Has anyone seen these before? They’re incredibly tiny orange big/insect…whatever. Sitting outside and feeling random spots of itchiness and I’ll see a super small orange looking thing and I’m guessing they bite or something because I’ll have a tiny red bite mark. No clue where they are coming from or what they are. They’re like those tiny red bugs that leave a blood dot but these are orange and even smaller.

The first 15 days of August 1988 were brutal in New England.  I think I had 13 of 15 days AOA 90 and the other two 89.  Then a strong cold front came through and the rest of the month avg slightly below for temps.

We lived in Gardiner from late October 1985 thru mid-May 1998.  August 1988 compared to averages for our 13 Augusts had 3 levels:
1-13:     74°   nearly 8° AN
14-18:   65°   average
19-31:   59°  3.5° BN

Modest temps compared to the real hot spots (instrument was within some pines), but impressive averages.

I do think we have to watch Wednesday for some strong storms, particularly south of the Pike, despite NAM showing zilch for QPF.

[ineedsnow]

Average high in Miles city is 90 though.. didn't realize that but still

hmmm I don't think so. they look like a super tiny worm. They're literally like the width of a finger nail. If I tired to take a pic of some, they're so small the camera can't focus to capture it lol

Figured @vortex95 would appreciate this SLC met using a photo of snowy mountains for the all-time hottest temperature since 1874… could’ve gone with flames and death, instead a tranquil April day photo of the Wasatch, lol.

Nice day for business suits.

Up to 75F already from a low of 48F.

What a gorgeous day. Played 18 and then my wife and I cruised up Cold Hollow Cider Mill and looped back through Stowe and Morrisville for a late Sunday afternoon ride. Beautiful out.

Difficult to say without seeing a photo....Hopefully it is not a deer tick...

To be fair, DIT lost power for like a week in the October 2011 snowstorm and not once do I remember him complaining about it, ha.

8 days. It was awesome and something I look forward to again . Power outages are awesome . It’s why you always see me saying “ YES!!” Or congrats !! When folks post that they lost power. It’s legitimately a happy feeling

We lost it for 3.5 days that next summer with the tropical storm and that was a bit more tricky with food , beer and refrigeration. But we made it work 

[WxWatcher007]

Well if you like outages don’t worry. A bona fide hurricane up here would collapse the grid.
