There are no air conditioners in houses up there. Virtually unknown.

We may have 2 days of a "heat wave" at some point in late June-mid July. Lowest 90's day/ upper 60's night.

I have never laid awake hot & sweaty in bed at night there when the Baroness Vim Toot was not the jigglesome culprit.

Vim Toot!

Tootster gettin jiggy wit it!

You'd love it up this way today...mid winter

The EPA frowns on warm water. The fish love it and migrate to it and then when the plant trips off the water turns very cold and kills everything. EPA mandated a 500 million dollar cooling tower addition to a plant in PA to stop precisely this.

it is amazing how much cooler the water is just north of the plant outlet. the water is pretty warm all the way down to the hooksett dam. you can really see it with the fog coming off the warm water on cold mornings.

Event totals: 6.3” Snow/0.32” L.E.

Friday 2/25/2011 12:00 P.M. update: Burlington had accumulated about 4 inches or so when I left sometime after 11:00 A.M., and here at the house I found 6.3 inches at noontime. It wasn’t even snowing when I left the house this morning around 6:45 A.M., so the snow has been coming down at over an inch an hour on average. The snow to liquid ratio certainly isn’t low here, coming in at almost 20 to 1 for this round of accumulation. The flakes are very big, some up to 20 mm in diameter, so that is obviously helping with the ratios. The snow seems to be continuing at a steady pace of about an inch per hour.

Some details from the 12:00 P.M. observations are below:

New Snow: 6.3 inches

New Liquid: 0.32 inches

Snow/Water Ratio: 19.7

Snow Density: 5.1% H2O

Temperature: 31.5 F

Sky: Snow (5-20 mm flakes)

Snow at the stake: 25.5 inches

In Northampton now and pouring. Streets totally flooded. Fun when this freezes tonight.

Ride down from Greenfield at 10:30 was white knuckle for the first 10 miles. I-91 was slush covered.

Looks like snow swinging back towards W. Ma.

MP (or anyone else in Franklin Co.) what's it doing up our way right now? Rain I assume. It had just flipped to heavy sleet when I left.
