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.

It's 115 in Miles City Montana right now.. that's nuts! 

[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.

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.

When it happens ( and it will) and hopefully in my lifetime)…it is going to be a month or more in some places . If you throw a 1938.. or even a Connie or Diane or even a high end 1/ low end cat 2.. the damage will be catastrophic

It all went outside in the snow . Put everything into coolers in the snow which lasted for several days and even when it melted it still stayed in the 40’s mainly
