Is it swampy at 990 ft in CT?

He has that lawn looking like Augusta National… I’d assume there’s no shortage of moisture either from a hose or the sky lol.

Dog’s black water bowl directly under his station in direct sunlight.

Toss the home dews

That's what it feels like here - the drier air blew in behind that juicy-looking band of downpours last evening.  That band split a few miles to my west, and we got a meager 0.08".  Friends 20 miles northwest had closer to 2".  Fortunately, the morning rain dropped 0.98", best drink since mid June.

Haven’t watered the lawn once . Just the garden during the Stein periods. Davis not in grass . The woods definitely helps dews. But where folks live, those are the dews. Just like the tarmac dries and lowers dews more than surrounding areas .

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.  

I stay at Gifford's woods every year for a week. Good Central location for visiting surrounding areas of VT, plus a good amount right in Killington area also.  NH mountains are much more rugged and impressive, but a lot busier IMO.

Thu should be some epic swampazz. Breathe it in folks.

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

Just picked up my new company car yesterday. I have to pick up the ceo a couple times a year at the airport . Well worth the trade off

Nothing like a company car!

No maintenance, comes with a company card for fuel, and when there’s an issue with it… not your problem!

Had a company truck for a few years. Beat the hell out of it trying to make deadlines.

No way I treat my own vehicle that way to satisfy customers.

If you spend any amount of time outside on a regular basis, you know when dews are high vs low.

I don’t need an electronic device to tell me whether it’s bearable outdoors.

It’s only a reference for those that hope for unpleasant conditions.

I was in Florida for the week after the Fourth, THAT was dewy and hot!

Still sat outside all day every day.

Funny how the peeps that work without ac aren’t the ones pushing for extreme heat and humidity.

Off topic but how about those Sawx? Durbin with a grand slam and then Duran goes back to back.

I enjoy his posts and discussions. Extremely knowledgeable and doesn't try to hype things up...just tells it exactly the way it is. 

i believe that his synopsis is tailored to Hampshire and Franklin Counties. As far as the Springield -Holyoke -Chicopee area the forecast temperatures he puts up are on the low side to say the least. I find Western Mass News and CH 22 news to be far more accurate. That's understandable since he lives there but as far as Hampden County goes he's too low on the Daily high's.

Now to get the RRFS added (i.e. the GARBAGE MODEL according to @CoastalWx!  I don't see it.  It did well for the R+ swath across New England for the last event, and actually was not high as the HRRR 8".

All set...weenies rejoice for this winter!

Somewhere in Gifford Woods is a stand of old growth/virgin forest. I remember reading about it years ago.
