WinterSnow

I see storms beginning to form in NW CT. Oops, may have waited a little too late to get out and get things done.

94F / 82 Dew point. Yikes. My A/C is holding up so far, though, so all good.

I'm always counting down to the Winter Solstice. Glad we start losing daylight after today. It will be hot AF for a few days, but we can deal.

So, wow. That wasn't a lot. Just one small cell came through a couple of hours ago. Someone on social media reported that it hailed here but I didn't see it.

I looked her up and found a GYN that specializes in menopause. Now come on, I'm not that old yet! And then I realized you might be referring to slang instead and I looked that up and... uh. No thanks. I can't stand the smell of that stuff!

I was born and raised in this kind of weather. I'll be fine! (Just kidding. It was only like 72 degrees outside and once the sun came out I was suffering. I know you all like to make fun of me, but I think the low heat tolerance is probably medication related, and yes, I'm talking to my doctor about getting off of said medication).

Looks pretty! I hope to get to visit someday!

I came from the South. And it wasn't even Florida. And even there I was indeed very sick of the relentless heat and humidity. Where I came from, mid 80s in the summer is considered a cool day. And if you have a single cloud cover the sun for even five seconds it's a major relief. I cannot even fathom Florida. It sounds like Hell to me. Anyway, I cannot understand this whining about a couple of cloudy, cool days a week.

I saw this and panicked a little, as a lot of my family is in Oklahoma still but thankfully not the SW part of the state. I still follow a meteorologist from the state on FB and yesterday he posted the worst stuff should be to the south so this tracks. Looks like the tornado warning in the NW corner of the TX panhandle is an active tornado. Seeing lots of active tornadoes in these storms this year.

I think you ended up doing just that. I don't think even a drop of rain fell in Bristol. I don't want bad severe weather with tornadoes, but a small thunderstorm and some rain would have been pleasant. It just all just went around me.

84 degrees (one reading says 86, I can believe it) and nasty outside. Can confirm, I just walked in it. Hopefully the storms don't fire up too strong.

I know, it's really not that far. CT's such a tiny state and all. But I do not currently have a car, so I'd have to rely on public transit to do it and it would take like 4+ hours to get to the shore by bus. It's insane out there in some areas. When I took a walk yesterday I saw it was accumulating in the grass, it's crazy! I'm so grateful I'm not allergic to it or I'd be having a very rough time right now.

I agree! I temporarily lived closer to the coast late last summer and got to visit a lot. Would have chosen to permanently live there, but I wanted a little more snow so I ended up settling a little further north. Possibly no beach visits for me this summer. Sad.

Hey now, I relocated to here a year ago. I have experienced a CT summer already. I know that it can and does get into the 90s, I just got the impression from last year that it wasn't something that happens a lot in a given summer like it does where I came from (and last summer was above normal, apparently?), so already being hit with this at the beginning of June is yucky. Just hope my A/C can keep up with it. I can't afford to get a window unit for my bedroom right now.

The only good news. The weather's so amazing right now it's darn depressing that it could be months before it happens again, but I remember seeing a couple of overcast days with highs in the 60s last summer, so... Hey, that's one reason I moved here. Those projected mid-week temperatures are a big yikes. Feel like I've gone back to the south.
