We've been down into the 20's as early as 8/22. By October we'll have had multiple nights below freezing. Summer doesn't persist here through September like it does in southern states like Alabama and CT.

You live in massa****ingchusetts brother, not hudson bay

The now defunct Chesterfield C0-OP doesn't give the year just earliest date a temp threshold has been achieved. The 28.5 temp threshold was met as early as 8/22. 24.5 has been met as early as 8/30.

I saw the data you posted a week or so ago (I think) and was confused by the readings... wonder why no year is given.

Was that by design or pure happenstance ?

A little of both. I grew up in Columbia County,NY (county bordering Betrkshire County on the West). I met a girl from Northampton when I went to college (Simon's Rock early college in Gt. Barrington), I graduated at 19 and we immediately moved to Chesterfield for the flyfishing and snow. She's been replaced but this place has been the perfect place for me, remote by east coast standards, lot's of snow and great outdoor activities, kayaking, skiing, fishing etc. Alaska is where I hope to retire to. Love Alaska.

lmaosmiley.gif. It's also gotten up to the 60s in January, before. As soon as the end of January hits I'll be sure to post how winter is ending and summer is taking over. sun.gif

It was probably in the 50s here and I had the A/C on.

Highs here this week as follows.

68

76

75

77

76

I think today will end up 79-81, I don't think we'll see anything warmer than 83-84 in the next 7 days. Time is running out for you heat fetishists.

Pretty average warm summer week. As you know, BDL averages like 85 mid-summer while your peak is probably 76-77.

Nice. You've got the best of both worlds so to speak; an alpine environment where you live and down below Noho for the arts and the nightlife if you wish.

DCA hit 104 yesterday. DCA is +4.9 for July 2011. Normal is hot. Those departures are infernal.

Historically, approximately six times during historically hot mid Atlantic summers, in August, sharply cooler departures have developed.

In those years, by coincidence the blast furnace heatwaves have broken just about the time of the Pleiades meteor shower on August 11/12.

Think of

1930

1936

1939

1980

1988

2010

At BWI, this season there have been

8 daily highs of 95 to 99

and

5 daily highs of 100 and above.

I knew a girl named Cari that went to Simon's Rock about the same years ...83-86 period probably... later transferred to SUNYA and was in my history and archives program. So long ago..... LOL

Gorgeous day here with sunshine , mid 70s and dew point hovering in the mid/upper 50's.

JB now says "not" a hot August north of I-70 in the Midwest and East. Cooler than last year.

Cari Palmer? Very nice day in progress here as well. Breezy, mid 70's, sun and clouds, delightful.

What was he calling for before? I cant see paying 30 bucks for the weatherbell site so all I get is the twitter updates.

There is a difference in perception about later winter (Feb/March) versus later summer is because we measure winters harshness as much by snowstorms as we do by bitter cold. More often than not the best snowstorms are after February 1st.

Whereas summer is pretty much measured by the heat intensity and in my area over to NE - the worst heat almost never comes after about August 10th.

So we tend to notice the increasingly cool nights as August progresses and that becomes the theme.

It is a nice set up. National Geographic rated the Berkshires at #2 0r #3 on their best places in the world to live list. How did you end up living on the surface of the sun?

I don't know ...I also haven't signed up to pay for him on wx bell..... just read his twitter feed. It's possible I'll break down and pay it in the winter, but we'll see.

I was thinking about that too. Maybe like Dec-March or something like that.

Well I was born in Spfld and wife from Agawam. Guess I'm locked in here for a few more years at least until son finishes college.
