H2Otown_WX Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 I don't get all this vitriol over such mundane matters. A lot of stuff happens in people's lives and worldwide to justify anger, but this stuff is silly. I'm sure Nate can forgive Pete for building McMansions at 2k feet in the wilderness and Pete can forgive Nate for contemplating the extermination of raccoons. They're nasty animals anyway...wiped out about 10 of my chickens one night. As entertaining as this thread has been, the argument between skiMRG and Nate should probably be taken to PMs. Oh well, I guess this is the miscellaneous thread..carry on!

Logan11 Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 The fun season has begun. Hurricanes to track, declining sun angle, westerlies dipping more south with early shots of Autumnal air, but also lots of beautiful pristine mild/warm days and nippy nights upcoming for awhile. Then it goes boring usually in October, first few killing frosts not withstanding, until the first snows in November for most. Definitely my favorite time beginning now. I just looked out my window and noticed my neighbor's tree the leaves are starting to change colors. Summer...over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup But I love October... sometimes we get big windy rainstorms... but even if boring, I love crisp nights near freezing, raking,etc Ski swaps...cider...apple picking...longer nights...bugs dying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowman21 Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 74 here is a below normal high according to Snowman21's calculations. Not to get into this silly back and forth for the umpteenth time, but those calculations were based on well sited representative stations. Even Peru MA at 1900 feet and further north reached a high of 76 today off of a morning low of 61. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in Peru, Hinsdale, and Worthington today all had temps in the mid 70's for highs. Below the highs you deem representative for normal.

It's northwest, so at a greater latitude than you hence my comment, never mind the huge elevation difference. Peru MA 42.44N, West Chesterfield MA 42.40N.

Peru MA 42.44N, West Chesterfield MA 42.40N. LOL, I live in the NW corner of Chesterfield. Peru is due West of me as you can see on the map. I drive through Peru at least twice a day. Our towns are not pinpoints on a map, they each cover many square miles. You haven't a clue about the lay of the land here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
