gravitylover Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 What a beautiful day it was as you went north and uphill. When I left home this morning around 10 it was still grey and humid but by the time I crested the Taconics it was dry, sunny and breezy. It was gorgeous all the way up the Parkway, across the river and up into the high peaks area of the Catskills and then it actually got hot by the time I got back down into Kingston in the late afternoon. Not looking forward to a couple more dreary days ahead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juliancolton Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 These dews are already pretty brutal today, and the sun is starting to come out... impending steambath. My 5000 Btu bedroom AC is no match at all for this stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should be mostly, if not all dry, around here with slowly lowering dews which is good news. Rain would impede todays outdoor festivities such as horseshoes, can jam, and a camp fire, not to mention could water down ones drink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravitylover Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 Dry would also be good for the free show outside on the deck at the River Outpost Brewing Co in Peekskill tonight. Fresh beer, good tunes and an early summer sunset over the river sounds good to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juliancolton Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Was hiking in Kent CT this evening and bent down to get my camera out of the bag, looked up and was face to face (maybe 10 yards distance) with a grunting momma black bear. I managed to keep my wits about me and spook her away, but that always makes the heart skip a beat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravitylover Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 I've had that happen and yeah it's disconcerting to say the least. About 15 years ago I was riding up a long hill, it was one of those hot and sweaty late afternoons in the high 90's and super humid, I got to the top and stopped to take a break and it was dead silent with no wind at all. A minute later a big black bear walked out and onto the trail about 15 feet in front of me and I nearly pooped in my pants. I must have gasped a little and it turned and stared right at me so I lifted my bike over my head and it did that puppy thing where they tilt their heads and look at you all cutesy like. Right then a little breath of wind came up the hill behind me and my sweaty scent made its way to the bear, it wrinkled its nose and grunted then turned and trotted off. Stinky mt biker 1, bear 0.

IrishRob17 Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 A few years back I was hiking on the Lincoln Woods Trail in the White Mountains. After walking up the Franconia Falls Trail a bit we started walking back and when we got to the junction of the Lincoln Woods Trail again there's a bridge that shoots across the brook there but we were going in the other direction. Something made me turn around and right on the other side of the bridge was a large black bear standing on its hind legs checking us out. It wasn't as close as you guys were but it certainly still gets your attention. After a moment it ran off, it happened so quick that I couldn't even get a photo of it.

IrishRob17 Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 The conditions when I was on The Rockpile yesterday. Whenever I’m in winds like this I think of the people that say “it not a hurricane, it’s only a tropical storm”... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravitylover Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 Brrr it was a bit chilly up there. I was driving around the High Peaks area of the 'daks yesterday and it was in the mid 70's down in the towns and valleys but it looked like a whole different story up high. There were some beautiful lenticular cloud formations over a few of the highest peaks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IrishRob17 Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 I just found out about this new gage at work yesterday, its along the Wallkill River very close to the Orange Regional Medical Center, it should come in handy for the locals, https://waterdata.usgs.gov/ny/nwis/uv/?site_no=01370520&PARAmeter_cd=00065,00060,62614,72020,00062,00010,99904,99905 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juliancolton Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 The HRRR goes gangbusters with downpours later tonight between about 2 and 7 am, lollis to 2". I have about .4" in the gauge so far. The more the merrier if we must go into Death Valley mode for a week+. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juliancolton Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 That Euro run was insane. 95/77F on Monday afternoon, dews touching 80F in time for fireworks on Wednesday, and no highs below 90F or lows <75F from day 3 right through next weekend. There's a ton of room in those numbers to take 'em down before they get anything close to comfortable. Brace for impact? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you convert your snow measuring table to a heat index table. For today only picked up 0.62 in the bucket since midnight. Just missed out on the heavier downpours.

Juliancolton Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 Actually, it's a pretty sweet evening for fireworks down on Lake Carmel. Today sucked but it was normal summertime suckiness and not totally abominable yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
