powderfreak Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 Low of 41F last night... got a bit colder than I expected it would, although it was already in the 40s when I got out of work at 11 last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamarack Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 Close to 40 at my place this morning, possibly another 39 - would be 3rd time this month. Nice to have the 30+ diurnal range for multiple days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice to have the 30+ diurnal range for multiple days. Yeah these days are my favorite in the warm season...large diurnal ranges. Crisp in the morning and warm for a few hours in the afternoon before the temp drops again. Highest I've seen so far in Stowe is 82F today off a low of 41F for a nice 41 degree recovery.

dendrite Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 Seabreeze fizzled out over S NH today. When I left CON I could see the line of small Cu to the southeast. Max hit 75.3F here without a cloud in the sky...it was a perfect cosine curve on the solar graph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eekuasepinniW Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 I was watching fireworks last night and there was still a little glow left along the horizon at 9:55. One of the best things about summer. I wonder when the last trace of light finally fades from view when you're on the top of Mt. Washington.

Allenson Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 Well, another mid-40s June morning. 15 out of 16 morning lows this month have been in the 40s so far and the one outlier was 52. Glad to see some chances of showers, however low, starting to creep into the forecasts for next week. It's nice now, but we'll need a fresh watering before long.

Yup.. another cool morning. Actually got to upper 40s in NWCT and local spot on Long Island. This was the 6:15am temps. An hour before had a degree or two cooler in some spots.

Yep... last three mornings here have been 46, 41, and 45 last night. Just awesome sleeping weather. Dare I say I woke up last night a bit chilly with the windows wide open?

MaineJayhawk Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 Back home from Squam. 8 hours in the shell is kinda pushing me to the limit ... lol. But had a great time ... awesome views, crystal clear water, five-sun weather. Can't wait to make a visit during foliage season. Here's one last shot.

All of NNE is the real GC... we just don't have to repeatedly tell people it like some folks in *cough* western Mass *cough*. To be fair, if there is a GC in SNE its definitely the Berks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaineJayhawk Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 Did you see the Eagles nesting? It's such a beautiful lake. No, I didn't. I don't know where they are. I only paddled the western half today. However, I did see and take a pic of a bald eagle last week on Ossipee. One of those iconic pics where the eagle is on a limb of a dead tree on a point. Very cool. No comment on the Berkshire GC as I've never been there, but it would be difficult to measure up to the lakes region. Now I need to explore Maine's mountain lakes.

They're on a small island out in the middle of the lake. I think there is an Eagle couple on Winni too. Yeah the Maine lakes I would love to explore.

We have an eagle that can be seen several times a week in the winter when the water in front of me is open and the rest of the lake freezes. I find loons infinitely superior though. We've had a pair hanging around all through the spring but they seem reluctant to vocalize. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 Fantastic day in Vermont's portion of Gods Country Temps in the low 80s at 800ft and mid/upper 60s at 4,000ft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the Maine lakes I would love to explore. I Did umbagoag lake up there on the NH/ME border before. Is there a sign that says there's nesting eagles? I happened upon a loon nesting site that had a couple of signs requesting I stay the fook away. I paddled around many islands, so maybe I was in the neighborhood. I checked out Umbagog ... a bit more than two hours away, so I may have to wait until daybreak isn't like 4:50am. Much prefer the early morning hours.

I saw at least 30 loons together on the lake. Couldn't believe it. There are some vocal ones that I hear now and then. I love that sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are some vocal ones that I hear now and then. I love that sound. Those might have been mergansers, which are nearly identical looking from a distance and are commonly seen in groups, whereas loons are solitary and will generally launch into a fit of rage if they see another loon. However, you said it was fall and loons do sometimes form into small groups before migration back to the coast, so they could have been. Last year the lake had 26 loon pairs and only 7 chicks survived. Squam had 15 pairs produce 5 chicks, which is back to normal after the 2005 population crash. Umbagog had 14 pairs and only one chick. This used to be the most prolific loon lake in the state with 31 pairs in 2000. Lots of loons die because fisherman still use illegal lead fishing stuff. Gonna figure this is more than you needed to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonna figure this is more than you needed to know. You could be right in your first comment. Looked like loons to me at first but perhaps they weren't. In any case it is nice to hear loons. Never heard them in all the years I've been there until several years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dendrite Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Only hit 71F today with some SCT/BKN Cu at times and dews near 50F. That SE breeze made it chilly at times when the sun was behind the clouds. It feels like a crisp early September evening with it in the upper 50s already and 5-10mph winds continuing. Certainly no torch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
