His story reminded me of my grandmother's encounter with yellowjackets while raking leaves in the yard of their lake community home, and your "venom" comment added to the memory. She felt the "fire" on her legs, looked down to see them nearly covered. Tried to sweep the little monsters off but they wouldn't let go. Fortunately she was less than 50 yards from the lake. At the Dr. or Hosp. (happened before I was born, so some details I don't know) they counted 70 stings on one leg and 90 on the other - on a woman who weighed at most 110 lb. Back to weather: After the sunniest month I've recorded here, August is 3-for-3 and not much cloudiness on tap for tomorrow/Monday. May dip to low 40s that day. Finally me clouds mid-week.

Honestly, it has felt like a warm, dry, slightly above normal summer here. Perhaps the lack of humidity has me unimpressed? I am pretty mank sensitive and really have not had too use the A/C that much. Electric bill running way short of last summer. Fwiw the Amherst coop had July as the 7th hottest on record going back to 1893. 1.7 degrees off the record from 1955. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it's been warm for sure but I think maybe the dry factor has kept me from being bothered as much by it. Lot's of upper 80's but not too many 90's here.

As I said, I felt it surging up into my lymph glands, especially groin. Ice cold shower water gave little relief to the burning sensation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even my torchy station at UMass only briefly touched 95 which has not been terribly uncommon in its lifetime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s pretty impressive for that period of record. It came up in the BDL discussion, but I think a lot of folks think SNE climo is higher than it actually is in the summer. Some folks were surprised the highest average max temp at BDL is 85F and that a normal July is like 84F-something for an average max. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Typhoon Tip Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 When I was 10 years old I was balancing along a felled log in the woods behind the house/ Unbeknownst ...what was once hollowed was full of European honey-bees ... Foot punches through, air's a whir with a hideous irate scream...I'm running home in a square-mouthed rage. 14 stings... two of which were on my forehead and my brow line swelled enough to star in a Geico commercial... Oh...and three stings below the waste, above thigh - ...mm hm. Yup. Along with their dead bodies. The rest were back of neck and forearms. Contrary to the fairy tales honey bees are not fun lovin cartoon Disney bugs - I didn't go to the hospital... just sorta hung out on the couch with cold compresses.

Typhoon Tip Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 We're hotter than normal around here and any record breaking is always edging out to do it... for the most part. How come we are not "smashing" them...like they do every else in the world. Put up a 108 at Logan or go f itself... This protecting the biggest environmental pig culture from first hand account of their own shit is really annoying... Norwegians don't deserve it... we do.. just sayn' .... What's going on is that we're barely breaking climate temperatures monthly this and that... but just packing in a lot high nocturnal lows with 93 uninspired days 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No reaction beyond anger - My honeybee adventure cam at age 4, and I have no memory of it beyond my mom's account. The house next to her parent's summer place in NNJ had a huge honeybee colony within the building's inside corner. Early one morning, probably before anyone else was awake, I wandered into the odd-sounding area. I'm sure my screams awakened everyone, my mom said my hands swelled up as big as hers (she was 5'4" and petite, but still...) and I slept for 30 straight hours. Was never told how many stingers they had to pull out, but if I'd done that with a yellowjacket nest I'd have slept for a lot longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Temps up here are still into the 80s and upper 80s valley torch spots, but the dews are 15 degrees lower. I’d guess it’s the boundary this morning that had some storms in CNE like CON latitude?

dendrite Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 Front dropping through up here. Should be a couple days of chamber then we start dewing it up a bit toward Wed. May take until tomorrow for true COC in SNE. Then more chamber wx in time for the weekend. Def not last August. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moneypitmike Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 It appears that winds at ORH had shifted to NNW at 8:00a.m. Was that the front already passing through? I didn't think it was due until this afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STILL N OF PIKE Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 C.O.C city 59 degrees. I’m dreaming of fall cold fronts and then first flakes around Mansfield . Prices for Ownership of a one bedroom studio on the mountain at 1500’ def have my interest. The amenities and views and annual snowfall make this something of a dream for me . Additionally the ease of renting these out (Coordination between Spruce peak ) for a few days a week makes this interesting 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
