Great pictures eyewall.  I'll add one of mine from last week.  Interesting that the low Cu don't form over Newfound Lake, more stable atmosphere right over the water.  Love my drone, just amazing technology.  I saw that Parrot has a new drone coming out.  Totally different design.  What is neat is that it comes with some kind of special goggle.  You put your smartphone in it and when viewed you are totally immersed in what the drone is viewing.  No more fighting with bright outside light on the smartphone screen.  I'm sure DJI will come out with something like that when it releases the next generation Phantoms.

Love that shot and a classic case of the weak updrafts not able to get going over the cooler more stable lake.

Reported 0.01" this morning, may have had a bit more later, though Augusta had just sprinkles from the 2nd batch.  It's the summer of 0.01".  Met summer brought 34 reports to cocorahs of measurable precip, which is 8 less than my average, and 8 of 34 were exactly 0.01", which I'm sure is way above average for that amount though I don't intend to mine the data for a check.

I really like tropical meteorolgy.  Really fascinating to watch how the models are trying to figure out the path of Hermine.  A day or two ago it was just way OTS.  Yesterday some of the models had her hooking back towards us.  Now today a huge model shift west.  Trys to come up but the high blocks it.  Depending on what model you look at all kinds of different outcomes.  Love the new Euro.  Comes up towards the Chesapeake then stalls and makes a couple of loops.  Would be about the craziest path we would ever see.  At this point we stay hi and dry.  I don't know alot about PRE's but wonder if somewhere there will be a deformation zone.  It's all over my head but fun to watch how it will play out.

Had 0.26" rain this morning.

Stop it PF!!  Looking at radar just more training echos over N VT.  Goes on and on.  I'm thinking that any moisture from Hermine never makes it here.  10 day Euro total rainfall is nill to .10" over the next ten days for most all of C/N NE  except along the Canadian boarder.

I'm noticing that quite a few trees are getting that lighter green/yellowish look.  Not the swamp maples but the general tree canopy.  Wonder if it will be an early foliage season down here with such low water table.

I did the run. The bike looked harder (although much more fun for them going back down). Either way I definitely pushed myself and did a time of 1:22:58 (I am definitely not in the elite class LOL).

 

Nice work. It is fun event, everyone is in such good spirits there.  My 4th time, it never seems to get easier :)

 

Another soaker today here, still dealing with some rumbles and lightning.

Mile 3 was the worst for me but yeah definitely not easy. Anyway I wish we had weather like this morning for it :)

I’ve got the August and meteorological summer precipitation numbers for my site now:

 

August delivered 4.17” of liquid, which is bang on with the average I’ve got to the hundredth of an inch.

 

Meteorological summer brought a total of 14.09” of liquid, which is 83.5% of average.  So, the past three months have been a bit on the dry side at our site as a whole, but I never saw any issues with the lawn losing its green.  Presumably an average amount and distribution of summer precipitation at our site is more than the lawn needs, so dropping below that somewhat isn’t an issue.

Hopefully CNE gets some PRE and N VT gets shutout. ;)

Met summer over.  Total rainfall 8.23"

Hermine down to 982mb. and still falling.  Stronger than most models had predicted at landfall.  GFS seems much more intense as the storm festers over the Gulf Stream to our south.  I have been hoping that maybe we could get Hermine far enough north to get a PRE up to CNE.  Seems like a long shot but with the storm stronger than prog initially perhaps it will be more intense and make more headway into the high over us??   Sure looks like a strong east wind gradiant for the south coast of New England.  At least something to watch during this long boring but beautiful weather stretch.

Perfect weather here too.  Blue skies overhead, high clouds just to the south.  A cow moose and her 2 youngsters have been hanging out at the pond up the road.  Took the drone over but off course couldn't find them.  Did fly lower over the pond and bothered some ducks.  Pond water level is way down.

What a perfect day in New England.  Not a cloud in the 6 state region except a few Cu in the highest mountains and some low Cu down in SE New England with the northeast flow. 

Day 9 without a drop of rain.  Lawn did green up with bit of rain in late August but turning brown again.  A friend of mine visited yesterday and also has a drone.  He was flying it a few days ago over suburban areas of Boston and it is amazing to see the brown lawns.  Not patches of brown but lawn after lawn of totally brown grass.  Rain chances look very low over the next 10 days except (yawn) along the Canadian boarder.  It almost seems like climate change is causing such along spell of dryness but I'm sure its just the pattern.

Leaves are definitely taking on some color. This is looking up the Bretton Woods West Mountain slopes from my house

Yeah I've noticed some change on Mansfield too (mostly going to a light yellow right now).  It's odd as its down lower on the mountain that I'm seeing change, like 1500-2000ft.
