15 mins of 70+ in 1872. People would be losing their mind if this happened today. Comparatively BOS only had 8. So definitely put an asterisk next to some of that yore data.

My guess is some yore instrumentation, siting, or obs methods. The 1870s data for CON seems a little sketchy to me. 1938 though!

I93 up here looking like 84 in Tolland this afternoon. Hopefully Scoot wasn’t in that traffic.

Looks like the >60 streak was a record at CON.

Euro laughing at the gfs cool down.

For the confused

Goofus is really 1 hot day and then mulitple COC shots

Already 63F...wtf. I want my super torchy mins back.

Surely he’s just trolling us back now? At least I hope he is. We deserve it.

I can picture him waking up in the middle of the night sweating and worrying about potted begonias in Wichita.

Toss those temps for now. Looks like the GFS is overmixing at times again. It drops those dews in that 95-100 zone while keeping them up in NNE.

Looks like ISP from years back when they had a foot of rain in one morning.

“Only” 0.71” yesterday. The water table is back to the surface, but thankfully none of those insane totals south and west of here. We lush.

To be fair that's fairly representative of their surrounding natural terrain. Honolulu airport looking like the middle of the Sahara is a different story.

And yeah...I may move a lot of this to banter later. If you guys want to continue the discussion I'd suggest bringing it up in that thread.

Agree on some things, but I'm always in favor of things getting cleaner. Did people get pissy in the 70s when they stopped leaded gasoline? All of these mill companies used to dump all of their waste products down rivers decades ago before it was regulated. We actually have to have laws and fines against littering because too many people would rather trash up the planet. I'm old enough to remember seeing cigarette butts lined along roadsides wherever you went in the 80s. Sometimes people need a little kick in the butt to go in the right direction.

I fell asleep without making a follow up post to my original one, but I’m not trying to poopoo gas powered tools or singling out 2 strokers. But I do believe you have to start somewhere with making these products more environmentally friendly. I have a 2 stroke brush cutter, but only because an electric isn’t powerful enough yet to do what the product needs to do. The electric technology is there for a simple weed whacker or leaf blower though. The mowers are starting to get better too, but I have over an acre to mow with some brush in spots so I’m sticking with gas for now.

Yeah we gave it a shot. 12 hours. No improvement.

F&G is coming out to put it down. I think it has a pretty bad head injury. The rehab place I called said the state doesn’t allow them to directly take deer from the public. Bummer.

Alive but not moving much. Seems like a bad head injury. Waiting to hear back from the wildlife rehab center. If I don’t hear back soon I’ll call fish and game.

A fawn was just hit almost in front of our house a couple hours ago. 2 hours later we have it laying on our lawn. It's breathing and can move its legs and head, but it can't get up. Maybe just a bad concussion?
