HIPPYVALLEY Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Damn we could have used some rain, the farmers around here are starting to sweat it now. Several articles in local papers this week about reduced crop yields etc. I have never seen the Ct river so low, people were wading into the middle and it was only 2-3" deep. Seems a bit foolish since the folks I saw were just downstream from the Turners Falls damn which can have rapidly changing currents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamarack Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 18 hours ago, ORH_wxman said: Yeah white faced hornets are really nasty when pretty close to the nest...but they won't chase you as far as yellow jackets, and they also won't sting you as easily unprovoked as yellow jackets. Yellow jackets seem to sting just for the hell of it, but WFH won't. Usually only if you disturb their nest or accidently step on one (which I did as a teenage...incredibly painful and it bothered me walking for a day or so). Yellow jackets are definitely a more dangerous insect but the white faced hornets probably have the most painful sting of any of them. I've not noticed any difference in sting power, though I've never been nailed by both kinds of insect at the same sitting. Also, my lifetime WFH stings are less than 10, while for their smaller and more aggressive cousins, the number is well into the hundreds. (Not that I've kept score.)

Tricky for my 3.5 yr old, but they have natural waterslides. That road is awesome. I always get drawn into the majesty of the mtns when I'm there. I love the ocean, but the mountains always strike a cord with me. Probably my favorite spot in that area. Always head there once or twice when staying in North Conway. The pool at the bottom of the falls is pretty good for kids Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll say this, it is amazing how many ants come to the party and in the short term there is an increase in activity but after a few days...they gone, at least for me. I've use both the drops and the actual weather resistant traps which I leave outside in a protected spot. A protected spot because some kind of wildlife loves to destroy those traps, not sure what though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SJonesWX Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 i've been battling mice for many years at my dad's place where we keep our snowmobiles. every fall it's the same thing, pull out the sleds, fire up the shop vac to suck out the mice and their nests, then clean the belly pan of the sleds of all the mouse piss. worst smell ever. we tried out something new this year, can't think of the name of it but it is a bait trap with poison that the mice bring back to the nest, and they die within 24 hours. already found a few victims in the snowmobile trailer. ants are another story, they are all over the barn. just too much open area to make them go away, although we have thought about trying the Terro, just to see if it puts a dent in the population at all.

TalcottWx Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Some interesting radar features. Looks like area of convergence is being maximized over the ocean east. Heavy showers and you can see the flow feeding the line. Heavy isolated downpours out west. Could see localized heavy rain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
