moneypitmike Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 How was your trip? Lots of fun--lots of walking. No need for the car I rented. Neat to see so many places that one knows of via the news, but to see the places where things actually happen. Cooling off nicely this evening. 63.2/58 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 It was so dark at 8:40. I'm not ready for this early sunset nonsense. I love winter, but the lack of sunlight does get to me. I'm going to miss there being twilight on the horizon at 10pm at night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quincy Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 AgreeThere is just something about days getting shorter in October...maybe it's baseball, maybe it's the fact that the warm weather is getting old, maybe it's knowing the first snowfall us approaching, or maybe it's the feeling that the holidays are quickly drawing closer.In July though, as the great Reverend Kevin would say, "seasons in seasons" and we're closer to the first calendar day of summer than we are to the first day of autumn.

It's useless to me. Losing light with snow still far away. By November I'm happy anticipating winter but Labor Day to Veterans Day are saved only by baseball.

Mr. Windcredible! Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Agree I think we're in the minority around here. Most on the board seem to cheer on the steady march to shorter and shorted days as we move to August. I get that it's symbolic of the approach to winter...but I too find the gradual shortening of days to be depressing. If we could somehow have a winter with 14-16 hours of sunlight...I'd be the first to sign up! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moneypitmike Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 I love the fall. Leaving whatever heat/humid weather there may have been during the summer as a mere memory; enjoying the dramatic change of the landscape with leaves changing/falling; enjoying the chore of (the first few weeks) of keeping the stoves going; anticipation for the first frost/freeze/flakes/inch. And football. 55.7/55 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tornadomachine Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Slight Risk for NNE to MA for Wednesday, with everybody in a 5% zone. I post this here to revive the thunder thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT Rain Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 No heat on that euro run past Wed. With a nice coastal storm as well! GFS has some "bagginess" of the isobars off the NJ coast Monday so the GFS is probably a cooler/easterly flow setup. Sounds like a rough stretch for those rooting for high heat.

Sent from my iPhone Down here we hang on to mostly green until about Columbus Day and maintain foliage through at least mid November. I hate the look of bare trees. Northern New England I'm guessing starts changing in late September and bare by Halloween? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapturedNature Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Fall and spring are my second and third favorite seasons. Temps are ideal for outdoor activities and there's so much going on in the natural world to brighten things up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IsentropicLift Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Actually according to this map the first color begins around September 12th. That's really really early. By the last week of October most of NNE is already past peak. http://www.yankeefoliage.com/peak-foliage-forecast-map/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parts of NNE are peak foliage by late September and start changing in early September. Around here (NE CT), we are usually peak around Columbus Day and are mostly bare by the first week of November, except for some oaks that hang on to their leaves all winter it seems.

Damage In Tolland Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 No heat on that euro run past Wed. Yeah there won't be any high heat or heat waves this summer. but we knew that going in. The first week of August looks very subtropical with deep south flow..So it's probably just a wet, humid pattern as we close the month and enter August Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a brilliant show, but peak color occurs quickly and is gone quickly. Does not linger as long as it does south of here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does not linger as long as it does south of here. I meant to say past peak by the first week of October. It's interesting how coastal New England tends to hang on longer because of the marine influince. I was up in Salem the week before Halloween last year and very few trees were already bare.
