Doldrums of weather heading into June


CoastalWx

Recommended Posts

Pine pollen is among the messiest and most prolific, but the spores are larger and (at least in my case) I am not bothered nearly as much by it. It will make me wheeze a bit if I am engulfed by a cloud of it, but not the virulent reaction I get to the almost invisible maple pollen for instance.

Pines are about the last ones to go ...so the end is near. Until weeds in later summer....

Pine. I posted about it in the banter thread.

I am having an unprecedented, horrible reaction to pine pollen in New Hampshire. The spores are all over the cars and walkways here at Hampshire Country School, and I have been coughing, sneezing, wheezing, etc. It gets better with regular doses of Allegra and showers, but it's still pretty miserable.

Happy summer everyone! :sun: I'm heading to a friend's lake house in eastern New Hampshire this weekend. Sort of like my Memorial Day weekend since I had to work last weekend.

okx not seeing the disaster at all down here, but I think this is more to my northeast anyways. Might be one of those weeks where i am partly cloudy 72 and Scooter is sheet drizzle ne winds gusting to 27 and 58 degrees.

Low 60s...maybe mid-60s on Monday, overcast with moderate northeasterly winds and showers.

I'm sure I did. It doesn't matter though. The same people talk about snow banks up to their roofs when its going good in winter and how its amazing how cold and snowy its been if winter '04-'05, '08-'09, and '10-'11 are any indication from my time on the boards.

Data is usually the best judge of any weather in our dynamic climate. Most people are not aware of the data because we are humans...we like to think of the things that have affected us most recently. There is often "selective memory" when it comes to events and temperatures. I had to show Kevin that about March in New England in the other thread. I have some pretty interesting graphs too on New England summer temperatures.

I fall into the same trap too on occassion. But I always look at the hard data before making any drastic claims (which are few and far between)....drastic claims are usually wrong due to our human nature of selective memory. (I.E. I knew summer of 2000 was cold, but had no idea just how cold it was until I looked at the data...70/46 really doesn't change our minds much compared to 77/51 when talking about summer)

Good post...that's something I've been trying to do more and have noticed over the years about myself, is to try and actually use facts to form an opinion instead of some knee jerk emotional response. Of course we are all passionate about weather and emotion comes into play at some point (mets aren't robots), but facts are hard truth.

Then there are the times when data doesn't really show the whole story...ie an average snowfall winter but one that had snowpack from Thanksgiving till April Fools might feel a heck of a lot better in our minds than one on paper that was above normal snowfall but due to one record month and 3 other boring months.

But it's going to be hard to spin NE@20G25 with 54F as "nice" even if there are breaks in the clouds in a few spots.

Wait, are you saying you've been living at the HAMPSHIRE COUNTRY SCHOOL?

Well the Talkeetna crew is hunkered down. Low Vis is currently preventing a push for the summit. High pressure moving in should give them a window in the next few days. They've been in below zero temps for almost 2 weeks now. The good news is at those temps the snow is absolutely blower pow pow. Time is running short for the ultimate goal of skiing off the summit. Supplies will run out after three weeks. Godspeed men, godspeed.
