tamarack Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Don't I know it. Sometime in the next decade we'll get another March 2012... Only if GW really accelerates. Prior to 2012, Farmington's warmest March temp was 79, set back in 1903. Then they recorded 80, 82, 83 on 20-22 (plus a measly 78 on the 18th.)

eekuasepinniW Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 I've never been stung by a yellow jacket even when trying to kill them. Bumblebees love to sting me for no apparent reason though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 76/56...loving this drier air with this warm-up. Low last night was 55F with nice sleeping weather. Dews in the mid-50s with heat FTW. Of course this evening when we start to decouple and it is 72/68 I'll feel differently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some mulch beds will likely hold onto mid-60s dews though. Gotta couple those dews with the BDL temps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You: bumblebees = me: yellowjackets (and paper wasps) I've only been stung on two occasions (3 total hits) by bumblebees, and I earned it both times. They are the most easygoing of all bees and stinging wasps, in my experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typhoon Tip Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 I was just going to say ... a bit of premature celebrating there? May even touch 90 here at a few of these interior locales, and though 58 isn't a huge DP, no... it's not hardly a processed air mass sort of day, either.

ORH_wxman Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 September is typically the most boring weather month of the entire year...and that is saying a lot given the dearth of exciting wx our summers tend to bring. But September is even worse. It is generally too late for any of our marginal severe threats and too early for big nor' easters that sometimes start to appear in October. There are some very occasional exceptions of course, but that is the general rule. The hope is always for a rogue tropical system. It is a great month for outdoor activities though...we usually have a lot of pleasant days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also had an 81° reading on 3/15/1990. March is a tough month for heat. Not much shade around and most folks aren't ready for for A/C yet.

tamarack Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 How did you do Mar. 29-31, 1998? I had 81, 79, 79 that year but I believe it was in the upper 80s and even 90° in the valley. I also had an 81° reading on 3/15/1990. March is a tough month for heat. Not much shade around and most folks aren't ready for for A/C yet. Close but no cigar, and the cutoff between early spring warmth and real heat was sharp. Farmington topped out at 71, WVL at 72, AUG (20 miles from WVL) had 85 and PWM hit 88 - no breeze off the 40F ocean that day. On March 30,31 that year I was working at the State's Scraggly Lake property, just ot the northeast of Baxter Park and about 130 miles north of WVL. There we had dz, fog, some IP, and temps low-mid 30s, with no clue that it was 50F+ milder downstate. It is generally too late for any of our marginal severe threats It's good that "generally" was included. The largest windthrow by far that I've seen since starting to work for the state in 1985 was a 600-acre area flattened by straightline winds on 9/30/1986, fifteen miles SE of Ft. Kent. It wiped out a strip 4 miles long and up to 1/2 mile wide, finally ending by blowing spruce trees into Square Lake. Perfectly sound midsize sugar maples were snapped off rather than uprooted because the wind hit so suddenly. I never read any official reports from NWS - don't even know if they surveyed it - but IMO the damage was consistent with gusts 80-100 mph. We salvaged about 3,000 cords following that event, despite not being able to begin until summer 1987 thanks to a 20"+ pre-Thanksgiving snowfall. (Blowdown salvage is impossibly dangerous for skidder-chainsaw loggers when the jackstrawed trees are covered in deep snow.) The abutting private landowner salvaged about the same volume. In a delicious irony, 5 years to the day after that event, the same area received 3-5" of snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Go Kart Mozart Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 OK, so my wife and I are beginning the process of looking for a retirement location, here are the key criteria: Must be a good deal cheaper than Fairfield County. The wife wants to be near a big body of water...Lake Champlain at a minimum. We just visited Burlington...nice city but not so cheap. We both like cold, dislike heat. Must have snow...we like Mystic CT, but it sucks for snow. Door County WI? Too far from the kids Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quincy Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Not that tropical systems are ever "common," there's a fairly close split between August and September landfalls in southern New England, depending on how you look at the data. If considering all tropical storms and hurricanes, then dating back to 1938, August gets a slight edge. (July: 2, August: 8, September: 6) If focusing on just hurricanes, then September (4) has a slight edge over August (3). (1938, 1944, Edna, Carol, Donna, Gloria, Bob) Used an 85nm diameter circular grid centered over the MA/CT/RI border. http://coast.noaa.gov/hurricanes/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Western Maine Sebago lake is nice and actually not that far from Portland ME...but not sure that would be big enough for their criteria. It's a pretty big lake, but not like Champlain. I'd pick Sebago if I was going by their criteria assuming it is large enough for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
