  1. In my dreams I own a house large enough to have a golf simulator wing.
  2. Must’ve been the debris all over the runway helping to absorb some solar. *
  3. I can picture Dendrite and his chickens flinging rocks away from CON.
  4. Between this and the snow database BOS is a bit of a hot mess. I'm guessing it's far from the only first order station that has issues though.
  5. Technically PWM temperature records only go back to 1940, but the threaded data goes back to 1870 something. July 1876 also average 73.1, but the thermometer was 82 feet up on Exchange Street so who knows how accurate that really is. So definitely the hottest official July and month for PWM, but unofficially tied for the hottest.
  6. We average 69.9 here. Closer to 67 as you move up towards Bridgton.
  7. Good news is that PWM tied the all time warmest month, even in the threaded database with iffy 1870s records. If BOS was the only site that did it Scooter would be wandering around the Seaport chucking * at random strangers.
  8. Prefrontal trof and the cold front itself
  9. Based on the TDWR I can see at least three separate microburst signatures.
  10. Nah, we attached the thermometer to a cup anemometer and let it spin around.
  11. Big, big fan of the SSE peak wind at BOS. That's a real sign of a microburst, doesn't align with the mean wind.
  12. What happens when lightning strikes a yellow jacket nest?
  13. I don't like that MCV, not one bit. I'd watch that convection associated with it. Central MA into SE NH.
  14. Looks like it has a little twist to me, so either some type of vorticity max or remnant MCV.
  15. All I'm going to say is the WSO was at Bradley, so that's where the records were tracked. Well if we're hot and humid, the jet is most likely to our north. So in the absence of significant surface based instability to sustain convection it is tied to synoptics. And that would all be tied to the upper jet forcing. So it tends to be north as well.
  16. I had seen in NWSChat that it was 5 kayakers that ended up in the water during the storm.
  17. It had a wicked signature over the lake. Not a good time to be on the water.
  18. I'm still waiting for Dendrite to pay me for the black market ASOS.
  19. According to the station metadata they are still using a max/min thermometer and not the ASOS hygrothermometer.
  20. Not sure why xmACIS is missing 2013-2015 but the last two summers have not been close to normal, nor were 2012 and 2011 since I moved back.
  21. The closest we came was probably 2017 which was just a hair above normal (+0.2 at BOS) or below normal (-0.4 at BDL) depending on your locale.
  22. I would guess you've probably discovered it in the middle of the growth of the nest. End of summer numbers would be in the thousands of individuals.
