Had some nice standing wave clouds earlier...even some embedded lenticulars. 35F for a low but up to 43F now with partial sun. Looks like a pretty crappy week.
To the gypsy
That remains
Her face says hunger
For a little leaf
She has to feast
On the Tolland oaksss
And if there were other trees
And the oaks were not enough
Enough for her to eat
She would eat them...allll
It's weird up here with the rapid warming of the soils. We actually have summer weeds coming up with the cold season grass and the maples are already starting to leaf out too. I can't really recall seeing my red maples leafing out with the forsythia blooming. his rain is hurting my american chestnut trees though. It'll be a miracle if they avoid the blight and/or don't rot out.
I'll get the cold season plants out there soon like kale and cabbage, but my warm season stuff is staying under the grow lights awhile longer. Monday morning could be chilly if we rad a bit.
You've been gone so maybe you missed it, but summer has already been declared here. I think a gypsy moth caterpillar in Tolland came out of it's pupa and saw its shadow.
Hopefully the wedge verifies a little more south and convection can rob some of the mid level moisture from making it up here. I’d like to verify on the low end of these 1-2” model runs. We were just finally drying out.
I can't even fathom a July like this.

1k in Tolland is a nice place to be to escape the extreme summer heat across most of CT. All of those 95F days at BDL while, sipping on Coronas at 1kft, in the NE hills it's only 89F.
More power to you Nick. I couldn't deal with that this time of year.
I mean a freak icing event would be cool, but it's like you guys are 30-45 days behind here. 40s and drizzle in June would make me grab the uzi.
