It's a wonder of modern science that Kevin was able to predict that at some point during summer we would see HHH weather.

this summer seems to have been about as typical  I can remember, always seemed to peak this week with dog days of Aug the first couple of weeks. Can definitely notice the earlier darkness now . But plenty o summer left for sure

IJD is now in far NE CT

still amazes me everytime I drive down 14 through some of the most idyllic historical countryside in CT and then you hit IJD, although the hillsides of IJD are beautiful with the Victorian homes, the valley is a pit. Have to say it has gotten better over the last 15 years I have made the trip to the softball fields. Canterbury might be my favorite town in CT and a great weenie spot at elevation for ECT

I agree, I had a tower right off 14 in Scotland that I used to work on,was always a nice ride getting there. Rt 97 from Pomfret to Baltic and Rt 14 from Canterbury to Windham are some of the best routes to drive in SNE. Now I drive from Vero/St Lucie west to Okeechobee and see nothing but fields and Citrus groves; the biggest hills are the landfills! :(

I stopped at Samuel Huntingtons (signer of Declaration of Indp) place on 14 built in 1717 ( ring a bell?) Pretty cool history .

On the top of the hill on the right just west of the center of Canterbury isn't it? I liked the old house in Windham Center. The other route is Rt 169 from Southbridge to Canterbury.

Driving 169 just over the border in CT (Woodstock) southward has a very similar feel of driving a rural route in Vermont. The hills aren't quite as big but it has that rolling, farmland, old Victorian homes, dairy farms, etc. Pomfret is another classic town that feels like Vermont.

Windham county has a ton of farms...I'm always surprsied driving through there. It is in contrast to ORH county which feels more like NH with lot of woods...though you do get into Orchard country in NE ORH county....at any rate this is probably more for banter thread.

Euro and Canadian seem to like "engineer" nuances, though (as though they had an agenda to do so - HA!) that prevent the continental dragon fart from getting in here... 

 

The GFS ... yeah, it's more appealing in the 500mb height orientation - sure. But, if you look at it's surface PP evolution ...it's cutting in dry lines and frontalysis' boundaries like ... inside the hot heights. Those which also have a way of denting down the stench of the fart.  

 

It's almost comical watching these operational runs being forced to admit that heats coming... In the anthropomorphic sense, it's like "no, I don't want to!" so they create and try to sell us odd-ball fictitious fronts that shouldn't be able to cut in under heights (GFS), or... like the Euro seemingly inventing beta-scaled reasons to keep the flow too NW at mid level to truly allow the us to stink. 

They're conspiring... they both hate summer, and so keep us in their shared delusion of it not really being summer. 

 

Haha.  Can you imagine if that was scientific reasoning?   funny.

Now the GFS is doing it... It takes the remnant of Dolores now through the western ridge, conserving juuuuust enough SW genesis to dent the flow (eventually) over PA, ...thus, setting up a shunt and prevents the deep heat from every getting here (D7'ish)... 

 

It's like on and on and on with this nuttiness... The models just find reasons.  Fascinating.

there are other reasons though that don't have to be nuance ...more at large scale/rooted in statistics.  

 

Example, the MJO is fairly potent still leaving phase 7, and entering 8.  The composite temp correlation is quite negative over central and eastern CONUS, and that would fly in the face of bringing warmth very far N.  NCEP sited earlier in the week in their weekly press that the wave is in "constructive" interference with the base-line NINO state, which together "should" be a significant motivator on the synoptic evolution.   For one, I don't think Invest 93 in the Atlantic got that memo, but ... that is all interestingly diametrically opposed to any warm up.  We've seen MJO's fail to correlate well in the past - so there's that too.
