I agree, COVID has screwed up the passage of time for me as well, I'm usually fired up for fall starting around now but this year I don't know what day, week, month, or season it is, and that has nothing to do with beer consumption. I find that interesting as following the weather is one of the few hobbies I have that COVID has not affected in one way or another but its still hard to believe we are in mid August already. As far as the back of summer being broken, that is clearly subjective. In my mind, breaking the back doesn't mean no more hot days or warm evenings as it appears to mean to others, it means we get some breaks in that, like this morning with a fresh air feeling 57 for the low IMBY. I have no doubt my AC's will be fired up again this season, probably this weekend, but at least the streak of running AC is broken for me as we look forward to some really nice, windows open, nights this week.

That’s why I go to Hatteras Island OBX every couple of years, I don’t like the beach enough to have people all around me. When and where we go if there is another party set up within 50 feet of you it’s a busy day, that’s how I like to beach.

I did get to New Hampshire for a weekend in February but that’s it. Labor Day weekend I typically go to Vermont with my buddies for a guys weekend as Mt Snow has their Brewers Festival but it’s cancelled, thanks COVID-19. The last time we missed it was when Irene canceled it. It’s always a good time and it’s a rite of passage for us into the start of fall as we enjoy the cooler mountain air...and lots of beer and debauchery...oh well.

Lovely photo. Northern New England does late summer well pretty much every year. Oh, and don’t forget the sunblock...

Now you’re going to fire up the hot weather weenies

A bead of sweat formed on my brow just reading this, thats miserable, glad you found some relief.

@Juliancoltonstill have fireflies here...you?

I’ve been there, hang in there, the elation you’ll feel when it does come back will be awesome.

I use the extension cords I use for my outdoor Christmas lights.

You should move, that's all ridiculous. I just run the extension cords, not that big a deal for even a week to me.

Yep, lots of stories of bad things happening when backfeeding, which is why its illegal. Just have a transfer switch installed and you'll be good to go but keep in mind how many watts your generator is capable of in relation to how many watts your house calls for at peak. I've also heard stories of folks doing a number on their appliances because the proper wattage is not available for them to run correctly.

Pressure bottomed out here at 997.5mb at 2:46pm, I’m curious what you guys got down to so fire away

You turned off your main breaker into the house, correct? If you didn’t you and the power crew as are going to have an issue they are working on the line and when the power comes back.

I haven’t heard from Mom so I’m guessing she’s still waiting. A tree took three poles down on 94 across from ABC Pizza

You can rest easy knowing that my power came back.

I just fired mine up, no water here though until the power comes back, hopefully it comes back before I get too ripe...

1.58” in the Stratus, debris clogging the Davis a bit.

We have Central Hudson and their website is down due to internet storm damage, oh joy.

1.35” in the Davis, need to check the Stratus

Lost power about 30 minutes ago, lots of branches down. Not a fan.

He was in the eye wall as it ramped up to 85 mph last night, the lights flickered off and back on once and some sand got under the posts for the stairs from the dune down to the beach lifting them up. So that needs to be dug out a bit and that's it, no other issues fortunately. Of course everything there is built to stand up to hurricanes to a certain Cat, which one I'm not sure, which helps a lot.

Not sure if you you saw it buried in the main thread but my son rode it out in a beach house in SC, was in what there was of the western eye wall last night, and quite possibly the edge of the eye itself as the winds just went to calm for a 30-45 minutes after ripping all evening. He was underwhelmed for a bit yesterday afternoon but that changed quickly as the center got closer, it was fun seeing his videos and chatting with him while all of this was going on yesterday evening.

.08 here

@Juliancolton I just saw a couple trees in one of the wet areas on Greenville Mountain showing color...it’s coming
