NY-SY-11 Dundee... 8.75" NY-SY-12 Dundee... 6.38" That's some serious rain in 24 hours. You’d think it was from a slow moving TS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The neighborhood has become a mosquito-loaded swamp in the past month given the 8"+ of rain. Everyone west of the SE MA holy land has been taking it on the chin. I saw three coworkers on my run during lunch and all they were doing was sitting there soaking in the sun because, “this is a miracle we have to soak it in when the sun comes out...it won’t last, it’s gonna rain soon you can feel it.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got heat exhaustion (always kind of figured it was a joke) last week while working on a landscaping project, not something I ever want again.

It is much worse on the respitory system then hotter but drier heat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my old profession we had to do physically demanding tasks in protective gear sometimes in hot weather (and in brutal cold). The heat was the worst and we always had to watch for signs of heat stress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She always cooked with a silver dollar and if it tarnished she threw the batch out. Probably old wives tale but she lived until 85 She got lucky. The poison in mushrooms will not tarnish silver.

I’ve seen local forecasts in CT with 70’s for 3-4 days next week and low dews. I’ll sell both hard, but dews will be lower in the 60’s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The warm spots like your location will be in the lower 80s but it will feel nice until Tue midday before the dews start creeping back to high 60s late in the day.

dendrite Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 You can just tell the sun is losing its oomph. Past 930am and still sitting at 72F at home despite mixed sun and clouds and a warm launching pad of 67F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
