Dave is not a met, but he is very knowledgeable and a good commnicator.  Consistently voted as the best forecaster in WMASS by the Pioneer Valley Advocate and has a large following.  Understands the local climatology, topography, and nuances of forecasting in the region well.  His focus is WMASS but he extends into SVT,SWNH and NCT.  He's not infallible. but I find him very solid.  

I was just being a smart ass by calling him Mr. Nut.

They make you drive your own vehicle to deliver bread and cakes? Do you get mileage reimbursement I hope?

[weatherwiz]

May even have some decent severe potential next week

Lean-to at Big Dear next week Monday-Thursday.  I was hoping to get an on-water lean-too at Ricker Pond but waited too long to make the reservation.

Most companies now are going that route vs company cars for sales reps. Still a few left , but not many

Fleet cars vs personal has to be triple the cost for the company....

Thats a nice area too though.  My boss' parents live on Lake Groton.  I snowmobile in that area quite a bit and we will go to Boulder Beach a couple of times a summer.  I also take my bike over to the parking lot at Ricker and ride the rail trail out through the State Forest.

Last year we stayed down by Killington in Gifford Woods.  This year the kids wanted to check out the White Mtns. but NH camping options really lag Vermont in both quantity and quality, so picked a location where we could get there within about an hour's drive, and still be within easy reach of Burlington, which is always on my list when in the area.

My home sites are good... Have 3 sensors; all in the 57 to 59 range here in Burlington CT... 

[RUNNAWAYICEBERG]

82/58 for mid summer feels like coc. Spank it.

[RUNNAWAYICEBERG]

Basically when any outdoor activity is doable, it’s a coc.

May have to watch out for a few (rather isolated) strong storms across western MA/CT late Thursday afternoon 

got a marginal just off to the west with the new D3

Where folks live on home sites sensors have read 61-67 all day. Not dry, not COC , but not oppressive 

[dendrite]

Most home sensors are oversaturated. The. There’s siting issues due to less mixing and wet ground. So you get some pooled up moisture at times. So some if it is real, some of it is sensor error in the upper dew range. Home sites with better airflow and drier soil will better match the METAR sites.

My Davis, siting ~5 feet and over field grass is the highest dp with 61; 3 other sensors at 30 feet are all 57 to 58...
