powderfreak Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 It was def warmer up there anyway. ORH only hit 86 today. Maybe better mixing up this way? Temps at H85 and H925 looked fairly similar region wide, with a few pockets here or there. Maybe we got into a warmer pocket. I think I'm just trying to make this more interesting than it really is, haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spanks45 Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Hard to see, taken a bit out of an iphone reach...this was taken back in July in our backyard in Newtown. He pounced on a squirrel that was eating seed below the bird feeder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherwiz Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Fully convinced people who don't work and play outside for extended periods are the only sickos who enjoy HHH and all the bugs and manky smells that come with it. I mean what's the redeeming value. I understand those who like the heat but just don't think anyone who spends hours outside wants high dews. Useless I work outside all summer and love HHH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT Rain Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Reminds me of that section of 95 through Old Lyme where LifeStar seems to visit at least once a week. I think there are just some sections of highway that lend themselves to people driving faster than they should or realize, and zoning out because they're in the middle of nowhere. Though I thought I heard the worst section of highway in the state was 95 between 19 and 24, but that may be shear number of accidents per mile as opposed to frequency of bad accidents. I know down this way you can bet on an accident between 4 and 5 in the left lane. It's like clockwork every day at rush hour. That stretch in Old Lyme is brutal.

weatherwiz Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 There are some, what's your job. Well since 2009 I worked summer camp at the skating rink and the majority of the day is spent outside doing activities...and since spring I've been doing facilities maintenance at a local museum which is outside and inside work. It's just all about packing yourself and drinking that H2O. I will admit though...the heat/humidity is taking a toll on me more as I get older Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thankfully there are only a handful of truly oppressive work days in the course of a year. Cities are much worse, having natural cooling from forested environs really helps.

Most disgusting heat I've ever felt, not to mention the stations are basically toilets. There was some work being done on the Lexington Ave line this weekend and everyone was squeezing into the 4 trains like sardines. That train is packed in general, but in the summer when it's hot and you have people packed in so tight that you're up against someone and someone else is up against you it's just gross. Definitely not fun on the morning commute if you're in a full suit like many on that train are heading down to the financial district. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allsnow Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 That stretch in Old Lyme is brutal. Took that trip on a Friday up 95 to jewette City, by far the worst drive I ever had. Nothing in North east jersey compares to that drive by Old Lyme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginx snewx Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Regarding our cool season discussion from a couple of days ago. The Iowa State site is one of my favs for climo stuff This shows the BDL Mid Oct to Mid April period is the coolest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherwiz Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 What new children's museum? I'm intrigued. That's what it's called. It's been around sincekke the 1930's but I guess they renovated somewhat recently. I've only worked for them since late April so I don't know much.
