Did a downpour poo overhead? When I went to bed at 9, there was a shower line showing to the NW 

That line blew up at I-84 as it moved east; got woken up to FL like downpours around 10.

That spring and summer climate is generally brutal . Ocean temps prohibit swimming and now it’s a huge drought area 

Tghis from one who goes running in shorts at sub-50 temps.
During my first visit to Maine (Boothbay Harbor/Spruce Head 1952) I went ocean swimming any time I could get a parent down to the shore to play lifeguard.  Of course, 6-year-olds don't care about water temps until they turn blue. :D   When we lived in Gardiner we had a number of visits to Popham or Reid State Parks where I did some body surfing.  I will admit that I've only once found Maine salt water that was actually warm, near Otter Cliffs at Acadia on Hot Saturday (8/2/75) when BHB touched 100.

It’s typically chilly with temps in the 60’s / 70’s. Water temps in 50’s .Why would anyone want or like that in the summer at the beach ? 

Maybe at Cutler Harbor.  Midcoast and points south usually reach ocean temp in the mid-60s.

That month was really sunny as we'll I think.  Here is a chart of my solar powering my heat pumps and entire house and sending power out to the grid. I think it was on the same day as the other picture I just posted. 

My solar inverter is rated for 5kw and was actually clipping/reducing power to the 5kw limit.

Iirc a good portion of that Feb was a straight up torch in much of sne with a few days topping 70. I remember taking the dog outside late at night and was shocked how pleasant it felt. I wouldn’t  be totally surprised to see a few good surges of warmth next winter with the way things look to be setting up, at least south of Worcester.

Must've been absolutely frigid up at SLK. 

Hard to tell. The core of the coldest seemed to be in the rad spots of C NH.

The SLK COOP was 34°…MSS 35°

Not sure what the cloud cover or wind was in upstate NY, but the N NH COOP sites were mostly 32-35°

That's relief compared to what I've been paying. Gas was $4.89 at peak in SLK this summer and I paid $4.59 there yesterday. Brutal, brutal stuff. 

Yeah the other day we were at $4.29-4:39 but we also seem to have a bit of a tourist markup between Waterbury I-89 and Stowe.

Keep this talk up and we’re going to change Clinton, MA to LockHerUp, MA. 

I love how every few days he takes to social media and declares Iran dead, yet the war carries on and prices stay up. I should have went on X yesterday and told everyone that the Sox kicked ass in the Bronx and have clinched the division.

Chevon's share price up 2+% on the day, will be interesting to see who was buying shares of the majors before this latest Congressionally unauthorized military attack in the Middle East  

grifters gonna grift

But but but but all the "free"oil we got from Venezuela will bring gas prices down!
