We are finally got a garden loving .55" shower last evening. Our lawn mowing crew was not impressed and scattered. Fairly strong and impressive but no lightning with the line. We have had no appreciable rain in a couple of weeks leading up to this. Time lapse below. I had to drive down to Concord today. Gypsy Caterpillars are wiping some places almost bare along Rt 93. I hate these things. So far we have not had them in our area. https://video.nest.com/clip/1774e325d9d94744a6fadb051647a00b.mp4

Here in the NW section of the Lakes Region of NH it seems the bear population is definitely increasing. I bought this house in 89. Back then I rarely saw a bear. It was news if someone saw one. Now they are everywhere. Why has the bear population in New England increasing? On the other hand I use to see Moose fairly regularly. I have not seen one in 2 years. From time to time someone posts a picture of one on our face book group. I guess it is the ticks and climate change? Ticks are not killed off as much in the winter?

Stein continues to be stein. Watched showers pass N/S a couple of miles west of me all morning. 2 weeks without any real rain other than a few tenths here and there. 59F and overcast at noon

Thanks for taking an interest in this. In the winter NH has road signs along interstates warning of winter weather the next day, Winter Storm Watch etc. Even someone at the NWS conveying to other agencies of a hazard. If NH had those road signs on northbound Rt 93 Friday evening warning of hazardous weather over the weekend at elevation the word would have gotten out to many in the public that perhaps it would not be a good day for a high hike.

I didn't know if you were off or not but I sent a message to GRX through FB messanger at 735am last Friday. Take a look at what I wrote and what response I received back. I urged them to think about putting out a special weather statement for the weekend hazard. With cold conditions on the NH lakes people will be thinking of things to do. They said they would not be issuing a weather statement but would let the public know through social media. I can paste and clip the exchange if you would like to read it. Im GR65 if you need to find it.

Hey guys... I had not looked at this thread since last week. Now catching up. It is Monday evening. I just had New Hampshire's only TV station on and heard about the death of the of hiker. This got me very angry as some of this could have been avoided. Last Friday looking at the models it was clear that the weather would be very hazardous for hikers this past weekend. I don't know any of the WMUR TV mets other than messaging Hayley Lapoint a few times in the past. I didn't know if she would be on air last Friday but sent her an email saying that if she was she should hit this weather hazard pretty hard. She never responded, probably never saw it and in fact was not on air but Jackie Thomas was. I watched her. No mention of anything other than a cooler weekend coming up. No talk of anything out of the ordinary! I thought that was so irresponsible. I even sent Hayley a follow up email saying how I felt. How could she have missed this??? I feel like calling the news director and bringing this up to them. Am I over reacting?? Here is a copy of my emails to WMUR last Friday afternoon... ==================================== Gene Bank <[email protected]> Fri, Jun 17, 6:35 PM (3 days ago) On Fri, Jun 17, 2022 at 3:43 PM Gene Bank <[email protected]> wrote:

Yep that is the GT version. GTs have the black fronk grill and the regular models have a painted grill.

I bought one of those too. Two new cars this year. I reserved a hybrid Maverick when they first announced it since our truck was 13 years old. Took delivery in January. Love the truck and my Mustang Mache. You are exactly right, the hybrid only is FWD but the MME is all wheel drive. So I guess between gas and electric prices we have insulated myself pretty good. I hope so, as the pocketbook is pretty empty right now. Between the two vehicles we will figure NNE winters out. I made this You Tube video just after I drove it off the lot. for my nephew who loves cars.

Alex, that is the worst. I saw they shortened the Mt Washington Road Race to just the 1/2 point. Makes sense since the summit has been around 30F with winds gusting over hurricane force and driving freezing drizzle. Hope all the day hikers in the Whites prepared. The summits are a far distant cry from the partly sunny skies down in Concord where it is 63F.

It's 145pm on Saturday. My temperature has been in the low 50's all day. Up to 54. It seems that most NNE stations are a little warmer than forecasted. I saw something from the NWS at Gray that record low high day minimums were in the mid 50's. Concord is at 59F, Portland 63 and Augusta 61. We had a 10 minute drizzle shower this morning. I'm still hoping for a couple of showers over the next day or so to dampen down the pollen. As usual my manmade pond is getting very low and will probably go dry in the next week. That is ahead of schedule.

We all need to install solar panels for the house and to charge our EV's. Maybe buy the new electric F150 lightning. In the event of a power failure you can plug the truck back in to the your houses electric panel and it will deliver enough power the house for a few days worth.

Yep! I have the GT and extended battery so my exact model seems to have the problem. Metal contacts can melt under extended acceleration or heavy battery use. Perhaps my car is not the best to try to climb Mt Washington in. They say they will be able to do an over air update to correct the problem. Until they can do that no more Mustang Mache can be sold. You have to tow it on a flatbed too as it can otherwise it can damage the electric motors. If your in NNE and see a dead white MME with the EPONY plate and an exasperated hitchhiker, please pick me up!

I am allergic to grass pollen and I'm miserable right now. The tree pollen that was super bad the past 2 weeks is mostly gone and now it is grasses. At least .14" is enough for a quick rinse. I hope, perhaps a couple of the instablilty showers in the Whites can get down here tomorrow. I'll take .10" or so

Crude Oil down 6% today (Friday). Will gas prices follow? I bought the electric Mustang Mache this spring. Amazing car. 270 mile range. 0 to 60mph in 4 seconds. I am getting 125 miles on about $4 of electric. No more oil changes for me.

The Mt Washington road race is tomorrow. I just saw they have decided to shorten the distance to the 1/2 point. That makes good sense to me. I just watched WMUR weather for up here. Other than to say that tomorrow will be much cooler than today there was no mention out of the ordinary. Brian, did you score any rain today with those showers? Not a drop here.

Just to bump up this thread.. I posted this on the June thread too... Hum, this cold air means business in NNE. I know the NAM is the NAM but it came in really cold for Sunday night. If NNE could clear out in time and go calm the temperatures could really bottom out. The GFS and Euro are in the upper 30's but take a look at the NAM temps. Frost advisory for the north country? Alex better cover up those tomatoes.

Boy the GFS is stubbornly cold for us up here on Saturday. My Weatherbell site shows 44F for a max high for Plymouth NH during the daylight hours on Saturday. That has to be overdone. Showers in the Whites would be snow at the summits. Maybe I will take the 35 minute drive to Franconia Notch on Sunday morning for a look around.

Ouch, 18Z GFS is even colder than last run for me. 41F at 4pm on Saturday? I don't think so but even 51F would be extreme around the summer solstice.

Just checking in. I know most of you are hating the cold look but I will take this anytime over 95/70F. Obviously if I had a boat and wanted to be swimming in a lake I would feel otherwise. Give me a couple of heavy showers for the gardens and then open up the windows for 60F air for the weekend. No complaints here...

Today, the pine pollen probably reached it's peak up here in Central NH. When those south winds started to crank mid to late morning the pollen past through in waves. I made a 30 second time lapse from my weather cam. Pretty neat to watch. Glad we get a soak over the next few days to clean things out. https://video.nest.com/clip/1b7dd1b198494caa95df188caab98ca2.mp4

So sorry to hear this. WBZ always sent her out during bad weather.

Finally the garden gets a drink. Overnight thunderstorm and training cells have given up .58" Currently a cold 49F

Arrggghhh. Getting dry again. We have not had any rain in quite awhile. Models had forecasted about 1/2" from this system. CF is through. Grand total was .03"

89.7/62. Highest I have been in the last 2 years is 90.2F Will I break it? Station highest is 94.9F. Looks like a severe thunderstorm watch will be issued up here.
