Yeah I'll be prebuying soon. Can't be remotely close the 200% increase in #2 oil.

My pellets remained the same price March through May while oil shot up. Not sure what they're going for now.

Sticking with my pellet stove. I may get a small electric heater for the basement to take the edge off down there.

Nice. Still gotta get you down to more of those SW FL beaches. Did you and Alison hit the shops in Naples before? The Gulf Coast from about your spot southward has to be one of my favorite spots in the country (minus Tampa).

Not gonna lie. I'd like a good stretch of rain as long as it isn't too cool. But as we get toward mid month I'm ready for some dews. I want my plants to grow.

Yeah…no. Think you’re in the dark here.

I was outside all day with the plant splooge. Breathe it in.

lol...this is something a 7 y/o would do. I'd feel weird taking a creature out of its natural habitat and raising it in a jar.

Juuuuuuust a bit outside

Scooter pig pile.

Pollin Definitely Tolland

I lived in APF for a little while...don't miss the ex, but really liked the area and weather. As I've said before, if I ever go south I'm going all the way. I don't think I could handle 4 straight months of Oct/Nov during DJFM down in the Carolinas.

Pretty sure he's a Marco Island fan.

lol...regular thunderboomers in May and early June? Good luck. Gotta take the synoptic this time of year when you can get it because in a few weeks we probably will be relying on the convective.

Not saying it isn't dry...quite the contrary. Just stating I'd like to see what the actual soil moisture is there and not view data from a broken sensor.

Glad we don’t live there. Tolland STEM needs to get their garden soil moisture sensor replaced. It’s been flatlined 200cb since winter. It’s a perfectly moist 23cb here.

Any drift pics?

Pollen is about 1”/hr right now. pushing 70° off of 47.8°. The landscape up here is plenty moist after the rain the other day.

Took awhile, but the sun is nice. Rhodies are poppin.

High of 59°…no real dews here

Somewhere in some dimension someone is posting how much snow fell at West Harwich, Barnstable, Massachusetts, USA right now.

ESE flow east of the terrain. NW flow into W MA/NY. Need to flip that flow.

heh...once I saw that mid level deck clear Jaffrey and there was that typical low overcast line not moving through the Monadnocks I knew this afternoon was going to be screwed up here. Yeah, I think we do get some breaks, but there's enough low level moisture entrenched that I think it'll quickly end up BKN again and give the mosquitoes just enough energy to get them really hungry this Friday evening.

But there may be a tipping point. I still think we're due to pull something more exotic off heat wise in the coming years. most of the rest of the country has done it. We just need to tap one of these near record mid level warmth airmasses with the right downsloping WNW flow. We've found ways to muck it up with North Atlantic junk or dews reducing the thermodynamic heating capabilities so far. But at some point one of those 98/75 days is going to end up 105/60. I know we had this convo a little bit back, but you were probably checked out then after winter was kaput.

It is what it is. With a warming planet we get an atmosphere that can hold more moisture and produce more clouds and precip. Our cool stretches aren't due to the mins anymore either...mostly low maxes.
