One eyed pig and SE ridge replacing it. You can sense the anxiety in all the winter lovers posts . Some just express it differently . Like you in your previous 2 posts. lol...normal for who? I'm running top 5 coolest since 1985. How is that normal? I thought normal to you was 95/75 every day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sugarloaf1989 Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 And if the pattern was the complete opposite, would there be concern it would not change as well? Its the same nonsense every year as we head towards winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamarack Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 2 hours ago, Baroclinic Zone said: Makes 6 days in a row now for me with lows in the 40s. Last 6 days' minima: 44, 42, 38, 43, 37, and prob. 39-40 this AM. Highs were 67-71, unless today was outside that range. About avg for the equinox. Nip of frost for my garden Sat. morning? Maybe, if the wind quits soon enough. Too early for me to try and relate current temps to the coming winter. I'd rather wait until Oct-Nov; Farmington snowfall shows a slight negative relationship with BN temps in Oct, slight positive for BN in Novie. Summer temps are all over the place. Both my warmest JJA (1999) and coolest (2009) were followed by ratters, while the 2nd coolest (2007) preceded my snowiest of 19. As Will noted, the cool 1986 summer was followed by a snowy winter. So (in NNJ) was NYC's hottest (until 2010) and driest JJA on record. 66-67 was 2nd snowiest (behind 60-61) of my NNJ winters, with the outlandish 3.0" on 4/27 tipping the total over 100".

I do worry about individual events when we're 48hrs out. Good way to look at it. I think I'm in the same boat. I can do NW fringe worry with the best of em.

eekuasepinniW Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Just looked outside and had a stroke. The mega-group of turkeys that has been loitering all week got brave and came out front to dig around in my garden. Naturally I slithered up the back side of the gazebo and ambushed them. If you haven't been in the middle of 15 turkeys taking flight, you are really missing out. More wind than Irene. Turkeys are terrible parents btw. The 3 adults totally abandoned the other medium sized ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a male that had roamed from South Dakota. Pretty crazy. I think all previous reports in New England have been escaped cougars from captivity. There's been maybe one or two that were a little more ambiguous. Most sightings though end up as mistaken identity bobcats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damage In Tolland Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Shut all pools down. Even in a hot September, no one swims once school starts, early darkness, sports schedules. Summer ends as soon as school starts. Weather or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course I've never had a mega pool with a heater. If I ever paid that much, I would be making my family swim even when the first flurries of October fall from the sky.
