As long as we’re posting stuff that nobody cares about I’ll go- I live in Vista, NY in the point of Westchester that juts into CT. If you’ve ever been to Vista you might wonder why the name if there is no view in Vista? This area was almost completely deforested in the 1700 and 1800’s for dairy farms for NYC and the view to Long Island and the Sound was said to be spectacular. People would travel to take in the view and picnic hence the name. Around the turn of the 20th century the dairy farms were gone and the trees grew. So why post this on a weather board? Our trees are all the same age 100+ years and it doesn’t take much to cause havoc -multi day power outages: 4 days Irene, 6 snowtober, and 9 for Sandy! So away from the coast it still matters.

BLD on top of the recent loss of the ash trees is just heart breaking. At least they working on the American chestnut! -
Same in northern Westchester!

I pulled 5 dog ticks off my dog after being in the back yard only and found one on a jug of pool chemicals- just crazy for July!!! -

That front last night was no joke!

Am I the only freak who loves the time change? For the same reason I don’t live in Florida where it’s the same all year. I look forward to change and not feeling stagnant!
