  1. Probably another mini heat wave shot for some Thurs - Sat next week.
  2. I’m not confident I get anything in Greenfield either. A quick shower isn’t going to do anything for the vegetation at this point.
  3. Enjoy the crunchy lawn. It’s the only crunchy lawn you have.
  4. Oh, Incandescent Brewing. Friends of mine, they make some tasty liquids! let me know what time you might be there.
  5. I'm gonna' say that looks like 7-UP with a kick. Just not sure what because of the light filtering through the red cup. Could be Gin, Vodka or Whiskey...
  6. My area would’ve had several heat waves by now if it hadn’t been for the constant clouds. No rain of course, just clouds.
  7. Can’t buy a thunderstorm in Greenfield this summer.
  8. Hoping we can pull off a week of highs in the single digits with no snow on the ground. Really get that pond ice established!
  9. Fans in open windows tonight. Nice to take a break from the AC for a night. I love warm summer nights, just don't really care for AC.
  10. Correct. Praying Mantis are tick killing ninjas but they also will prey on beneficial native insects when the pest insects are mostly devoured. You can buy their egg cases on-line.
  11. 69/64 finally shed those tropical DP's the last hour or so.
  12. Nice night! Great for yard beers on draught. The Allman Brothers are all time favorites of mine. Nobody but you and I know what "rare GB" copy means. Is that mono?
  13. My dad was the first person in MA to get Ehrlichiosis. Same deal, soembody from CDC flew up from Atlanta to interview him.
  14. Confirmed to be on Cape Cod and possibly the South Shore. Not enough information to confirm for other parts of the state. The Lonestar ticks are pretty discernible from deer ticks and dog ticks. Obviously, it becomes a more tenuous situation if a nymph bites you because you might never see or feel it.
  15. Days over 90° should probably be double what they are in Greenfield this summer but it’s just always cloudy now.
  16. Greenhead and "horsefly" bites hurt like a MF though!
  17. That's their jam. W MA has had a lot of precipitation at the wrong times the past few years but our dry periods have timed well with regard to stinging/biting insects. This year there are more mean pests than the past few but my Vermont friends have been chirping loudly about them the past few weeks.
  18. Except for some localized flash flooding two summers ago, Franklin County has gotten screwed with precipitation summer and winter. Even that stretch of a dozen rainy weekends in a row it was just crappy weather without a lot of precipitation..
  19. It’s definitely accurate for most of W MA. Have not really had good rain for a few weeks.
