Glorious weather today . Most comfortable 80 degree day I can recall . 

Last year Nashua had one of its latest “starts” to summer according to (i believe)  one metric .. where GYX was saying the first day where the average temp was 75 or >  which (last year ) was around late June .

looks like this year we may dew that in late May .

Where’s the misery back door and days of North Atlantic Puke? And this is for BOS. If that’s a misery backdoor, I’ll sign up three times from Friday 

 

ironically it might be nicer in Boston than in Tolland Sat afternoon .. if it rains down there like some guidance suggests, temps could fall into the 40s :(

Very neat to watch the green march up the mountain. Really exploded over the last 3 days. The contrast with the snow is cool too. Is it weird to be sad to see it melting day by day? LOL

 

I hear ya there.  Just got back from a late day hike and the snow level keeps creeping higher and higher.  Tons of water getting released above 3,000ft... waterways are flowing like it’s raining an inch per day.  

But this weather is unbelievable and the black flies are staying away for now.  Green level has shot up about 1,000 vertical feet in like 3-4 days.

You’re gonna love mountain weather, so much cool shit going on all the time.

Down to 3.5 feet at the 12-foot Stake on the local bump.

Yeah sell hard. We’re already on N fringe and it’s 36 hours out. Suspect tomorrow it trends towards NYC Sw for any meaningful rain. I’ve never seen a more overhyped weak back door . 70’s and sun Sunday and Monday ain’t a backdoor . Sorry

Maybe not in Tolland but Eastern Mass/New England will certainly be staying in the 60's Sunday and overcast with spotty showers and temps in the 50's on Saturday.

That 68 degree high Fisher had for Saturday will happen in the morning with miserable temps in the 50's/40's in the afternoon, like Will said

Monday/Tuesday the warming trend does commence though, thank god

I don’t disagree that there’s a backdoor. But Tip went nuts with long posts about 3 days  of stratus , cold and butt banging. It’s literally a couple hours Saturday afternoon that are chilly. Beaches are 60 Sunday and interior is 70+. That’s the gist

Yeah interior def does better in the temp department.

Hopefully these cold nights also start warming.

I was not prepared for the size of the mosquitoes or the anger of the large local hornets. LOL

Oh you have no idea living out there.  Wait for a warm humid July evening and turn your flood lights on.  The size and volume of the insects bouncing in that light will be astonishing.  Especially with that field out in front... and bright light will bring every insect from a mile away to it.  Moths the size of your fist will feed on those insects.

When do the bugs taper off around these parts usually?

Earlier where you are than most of New England, lol.  First frosts seem to do them in.  September?  

June, July and August though are buggy.  You’re in the wilderness now, bug spray becomes your friend quickly.

OK, appreciate the info. Yeah, I am realizing that about the bugs. Plenty of ticks out too. Already pulled a few off me and the kids before they settled in.

Luckily it cools off enough in the evening up north that sitting out by a fire pit in a hoody or pants is comfy and saves you from the skeeters.  

But yeah, bugs love the wilderness.  I had a tick imbedded in my neck earlier this spring that resulted in 14-days of antibiotics.

While this won't work for any pets, you can use a lint roller for a quick tick removal when you come in the door. It'll pick up some of the really little ones stuck to your pants. It doesn't remove the need for a tick check though. 

Also, deer and horse flies are summer staples here in southern NH. Not sure if they're quite so prevalent in your area.
