BDL climo is 82/60 on Friday. A high of 85° is not a torch lol. 

Absolutely. Yesterday's beauty was -1.5 below normal at 81° and 59°. Nightly Lows giveth and taketh away.

I think it was last week dendrite noted that the majors were all between + 2.0 and + 4.0 above normal. Today Hartford is at +1.1 , Providence is at +1.2, Worcester at + 1.7.  Even the outlier Boston is at 2.8.

But but but the drought monitor says no worries. POS product. Meanwhile everything around here is as low as can be when it just has this area as abnormally dry. Earlier this summer under “severe” drought it was full as can be.

It's almost as if they enjoy effing with people.

Violently disagree with this. A torch is exactly that in late Dewst. Very warm pattern as we move into late week and into next week

Jan 2023 was 9° AN here, our mildest of 28 Januarys, and it had 29.9" snow (avg 20.2") and 101.2" total (avg 88.4").  Different ENSO (mod Nina) but the next winter was mod Nino, our mildest met winter (22-23 was 2nd mildest), and had 99".  Sometimes it's nice to be north.

Yea, temps aren't nearly as prohibitive at your latitude.

I'm with you on this...."cool" pattern was hyped up by some, it's really just warm instead of hot.

My grass is growing so slowly at this point...like night and day from April-June.

Yeah there’s no cool or BN pattern. Not hot either but pretty warm and fairly deep summer
