tamarack Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 I want to go all mountain man and hike the 4ks, but I have yet to get started. Ha. Sheet drizzle commences here at GYX, but a balmy 53 on top of the hill. 1.15" as of the 18z ob. Still a bit more than dz here, temp 50-51 (AUG 51/49 at 3 PM), and a fire going in the woodstove. , Today's high will be the 59 at my 9 PM obs time last night; doubt it topped 55 during the daylight.

We're just a tickle above 50 now (50.5). Pretty brutal for 4 PM on June 28th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoarfrostHubb Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 55.3 for my high today. I think Monadnock is the second most climbed peak after Mt Fuji. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoarfrostHubb Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Third most. A place in China is ahead. There is a guy who has hiked it almost every day Since 1992 http://www.themountainpath.net/larry-davis-one-mans-passion-for-mt-monadnock/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damage In Tolland Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Well we've done the unthinkable here. A high of 58.9 on June 28th. Absolutely God awful.

There is a guy who has hiked it almost every day Since 1992 http://www.themountainpath.net/larry-davis-one-mans-passion-for-mt-monadnock/ Doesn't the one in china have a road most of the way up? That's cheating. I read about this stuff a long time ago but don't remember many details. I've never even seen Mt. Monadnock and it's not on the to-do list. I really want to see Katahdin though.

My soon to be father-in-law has suggested we do that hike together and make a weekend of it. Though I'm not sure if that ends with me taking a swan dive off the Knife's Edge.

HoarfrostHubb Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 I had not heard of that one in China until today I would recommend Monadnock if only for the Kimballs Ice Cream not too far from the base 52.3 here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dendrite Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 My high was 55.6F. That's on par with 7/4/92 considering it's 6 days earlier. The drop is on. 53.1F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 1.39" in the stratus gauge How much in your Davis? I've noticed lately in a lot of these events my Stratus gauge can run as much as 20% higher than local PWS automated gauges. Normally it seems to run in the 10% range from a relatively close PWS. Is that normal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't explain it..but I love them Yeah just busting your balls...everyone wants nice warm weather in summer. No one actively "wants" 50s and rain...though its semi-interesting from a weather standpoint. But your posts when you first came on here were definitely not in the "heat camp" but you used to find ways for backdoors to go down to NYC, or for heat to avoid SNE. The posts are there, haha. See as I age, I find that I don't mind warm or hot temps at all, but almost dislike dews more than I did 10 years ago. I'd take 90/45 all summer long. Though I will say, dews are what makes a "summer" feel to me. Heat and low humidity feels like an April/May or September/October heat wave...where as even 74/69 has a more summery appeal than 88/45 to me. Still doesn't mean I like it, haha. Most of my work is done outside on the mountain, everything from supervising operations to manual labor, and high dews just suck for that stuff.
