I know what you meant...that wasn't meant to be taken as condescending or anything. I was looking at it from a normals standpoint, but if you look at it from an actual number standpoint...then yeah the low 80s stand out. I think that's what you meant.

I understand things can be all relative...whether it be on 2k or sea level, but if Pete only hits 70 at 2k, that is still +11 or so for a normal high. So yeah it's relatively cool I guess, but that's a big + departure for that elevation. I'm just trying to be real here with the facts.

Yup--we're on the same page.

I don’t think it goes too far out on a limb to suggest this operational GFS run is a complete and utter insult to weekender plans –

Nor’easter is a matter of fact. True coastal, with cutting off U/A low and big slug of DPVA in the mid levels to help rapid deepening as a low passes right off CC. This is a beauty in December. It’s a foliage killer in early October. And it is temporally situated perfectly to bone the entire weekend. The smack in the face is that at 204 hours, the best weather pattern in like 10 years arrives on deep layer drying WSW wind and thickness’ around 566dm – that’s like 78/54 with DP of 48 for 3 days in the middle of next week when you have to work and can’t use it.

Note the pictures I included in my post below. The foliage this year is really lack-luster anyway. Give me an early start on my leaves.

Good stop by Buffalo. Bills managing to keep it interesting.

Here are some pictures I took this afternoon here in Shelburne showing the muted foliage. Lots of drab yellows.

That sucks, Irene really did a number on it?

We lost all 5 bridges that cross the Dog River, all of the irrigation infrastructur that ran under them, a foot or so of sand and silt on some of the fairways, and the river went from 40 or so feet wide to 90 or so. And the road to the course was closed to traffic for about two weeks. Below is a picture of what used to be a bridge, right now there is no way to get across to mow the green, though I think the greens keeper may have made an unofficial ford. Overall, there is an estimated $150,000 in damage, which is pretty tough for a course with a $300,00 annual budget.

Wow. Does insurance cover that?

They just reopened the Iron Bridge in Shelburne Falls on Friday. My wife and I walked across it yesterday--it was amazing to see these boulders that must have been pushed down river rising above the surface just down stream of the bridge. Amazing the power of water!

This goes along precisely with what the Red Sox have had to deal with. It just like this, only in sports, it’s odd timing in perfect order to continuously f ‘em.

Buut… I’m not seeing a huge degree of agreement among the other runs just yet.

The entire week after Irene was perfect .

No insurance coverage. We have had an outpouring of support from members bringing their own tractors and other eequipment over to help so the fairways have been cleaned up and re-seeded for the most part. The hard part is replacing the bridges.We had several large I-beams bent. I can't imagine the force that did that.

I don't know where all this talk of low dewpoints cane from today..but it's 69 here...off a high of 71..Lowest it was all day was 66 lol.

Oppressive dews for like 6 straight days in late late September when MaggieMay really should be back at school.

They dropped off from ORH to PYM on northeast for a bit, but creeped up again. Down by you, they hung around. Hmmmm........sw-ne gradient pattern already.

Ginx said his was 61 :arrowhead:

Perhaps he has an easterly component to his wind? Most of Connecticut is southerly or southwesterly with dew points 65-70. Areas with an easterly or southeasterly wind have dew points generally 60-65, like BDL, for example, the only place in CT with a light east wind and a dew point under 65.

Yeah dewpoints were in the 50s here for a while today. You can feel the difference from the last few days.
