CapturedNature Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 I just noticed we never started a summer banter thread and were still using the spring one for general discussion so I decided to start a new one just for organizational sake. Hope everyone's been enjoying the CoC weather for the most part so far this summer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spruce pollen (as in that tree) can be even worse. I've seen it 3" deep and rotting on a lee shore in N. Maine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Living in my new climate zone with my aspirated fan VP2 I wonder when I will hit 90F again? 90F here would probably equate to 95F Concord NH and approaching 100F in Metro Boston Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typhoon Tip Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Meh... some years ... months are different - shocking revelation! June last year has zero bearing on June this year. If anyone has a modicum of philosophical awareness, it may occur to them that the comparison really has equal value to that: Zero. It's tantamount to saying June last year is not June this year - right...got it. Thanks. We had a temperate June ... yay. While most of us in here discussed that as a very likely plausibility ... back at the end of May (btw), I guess now we are stunned that June was banal for heat? I guess.. Going forward, July very likely will start above normal. How much exactly remains to be seen... But, I could see the first 1/4 of the month finishing solidly above.

wxeyeNH Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 I was just reading about that crazy hail storm in Guadalajara Mexico yesterday. The NBC story that I just read said that more than 3 feet of hail fell. I don't believe that for a second, I'm sure that low lying areas where water pooled the hail was over 3 feet not a general 3 foot hail coverage. Never the less very impressive. The city is at 5000 in elevation which helps. We never have deep hail here in New England as they do out in the plains. I'm sure elevation helps in that regard. Here is link with some very impressive pictures to the hail story. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/weather/summer-hail-storm-guadalajara-mexico-buries-cars-damages-houses-n1025321?cid=public-rss_20190701 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dendrite Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Storm drains got blocked. My guess is the hail flowed and piled up in low draining areas as water drained out through it. Impressive either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dendrite Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 65/58 Warm but not warm enough here. DIT would be angry having to tie his B.U.M.

Looking at some of the Mexico pictures it looks like the kids were having fun. They probably get some hail from time to time but many have never seen frozen. About 10 years ago we had some visitors from Miami that came up around Thanksgiving. The 3 kids had never seen snow. Ground was bare but it started snowing. Lightly at first but then big wet parachutes that gave us an inch or two. Watching those kids was priceless. They were excited to see the first flakes but then with parachutes they were in awe. Fun stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My junior year at Lyndon there was a transfer student from Sunrise, FL (just outside of Fort Lauderdale). He had only seen snow once (late 70s) and that was falling. He specifically chose Lyndon because he wanted to experience winter. This kids response to everything was so funny. I remember the first night we had frost he came bursting in and said that everyone had to go outside that everything was covered with a dust that sparkled. Then when it snowed, I remember his first reaction to touching it - he said that it was colder than he thought it was. He thought it would be cottony and feel like air. There's nothing like an outsiders perspective on something! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
