HIPPYVALLEY

Yeah, it’s been weird how dark it’s been for the past four hours.

It’s like 8 PM dark in downtown Greenfield right now. Crazy.

Peaked at 84° today in downtown Greenfield. It was definitely humid, but steady breeze all day.

This isn’t the smoke I prefer to bathe myself in.

The sun is now completely obscured in the valley. I can taste the smoke in the air and the motion detector nightlight outside the brewery flicked on because it’s so dark right now. Killing a heat wave with smoke was not on my bingo card.

Greenfield actually got about .10” between the morning shower and the heavier afternoon shower. Very fortunate, good for the gardens and trees.

I believe that years ago, I read that a Carrington event would lead to the death of over half the populations of major cities within 6 weeks.

You have a better chance for a major ice storm than a major hurricane in SNE.

What a top 10 summer day today was!

It will be a classic “strong Nino” winter though.

Got back from Falmouth last night and I mowed well into the evening. Thinking I may not have to again for a few weeks.

I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a heat advisory this small and specific.

Greenfield had under .50" yesterday so not awesome but at least it was something for the fruit trees. We dry moving forward. Good for mosquito control I suppose.

Looks warm and boring for the foreseeable future.
