dendrite

3 drops here after he tried to flood us and Stein himself the other day.

Low of 54F. Back broken!

CON’s earliest freeze on record was 32° at midnight. It fell to 29° by morning for their all-time August record. 7+ hours at or below freezing in August…brutal.

Ditty purposely breeding gypsies and lantern flies in Tolland. We need to get him some of those hammerhead worms for his lawn.

They’re in S NH now. Not sure why there’s such a push to have the public kill them. It’s like gypsies, japanese beetles, EAB, etc…once they arrive they’re there for good. A lot of reports from further south are that they go wild for a few years and then the numbers drop off quite a bit. Not sure if that’s a case of other insects and animals learning that they’re tasty or if there’s some other factor at play. The continents will all be back together again in 250M years so we may as well mix all of the insects around the planet together now.

At least they had Lake Ontario then

Lots of witches back then…can’t trust the data.

Imagine 850 temps like this the morning of 8/30. 0C ALB, -3C PWM, -4C CAR

61 years ago right now we were advecting in, arguably, our coldest August airmass in recorded history.

Is that your version of Live Laugh Love?

A is colder than B. So that would be 7a creeping in down there. (0 to +5) Still a 5b here which makes sense. My average extreme min is probably around -11 or -12 here…cooler in the valley. But growing zones are kinda dumb because it only takes one cold shot to go well below your zone and kill plants that you’re potentially zone pushing with. Feb 2023 is a good example with -10 and wind at BOS.

Because SC. j/k I lived in SW FL for a year. It was nice, but I missed it up here. This is home. And a lot of the fruit I like to grow doesn’t do well in the deep south. I love the seasons, but as I get older winter just feels longer and more grueling. It’s different up here than a lot of SNE too. The CAD foils a lot of the warmups and often keeps snowpack in place for months without much of a break. That may sound like a winter weather humble brag, but it isn’t. When I need a weather mental health break and it’s 33F and fog here for 48hrs while it’s 55-60° from BOS to BDL I want to break things and ban people near the Pike.

Yeah...like I said this morning, we get a little wedgie up here. 9 months of CAD hell incoming.

Da da da da da It's the motherfuckin Weather W-I-Z

Yeah you live in the tropics
