Just a fukkin’ sufferfest up here for those poor kids. You just hate to see those partly sunny days with low dews and 75-80F. I never would’ve gone outside to play whiffleball or ride mountain bike trails in this stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 All joking aside, it’s nice to see the kids back outside. There’s a large daycare about a third of a mile down the road and the poor kids were huddled inside the A/C all week... finally was able to hear them on the playgrounds again today. They take big group walks on the Rec Path and such, so good to finally see them back outside enjoying the weather. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scooter has transformed into an old lady in summer within a period of like 2 years...wearing a shawl outside if it's not 95F. We were outside with my son biking today and I saw more people than usual. That' whats happens when its 80/50 vs 90/70. 2 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally get enjoying whatever weather you want, but I don’t see the reasoning haha. Unless kids are different now, we spent the 90/70 days in someone’s cold basement playing Golden Eye. 75F and partly sunny was like 5 hours playing whiffleball or street hockey with the neighborhood crew until your parents force you home. Without a doubt we spent more time inside during high heat afternoons, huddled in A/C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even this one is a short term drought thanks to the last month and a half. Otherwise we were running normal precip. If you are wiping out groundwater for multiple seasons then maybe your trees could get crispy. That's why it's typically surface fuels that burn and not whole forests. The birch-beech-maple forest, aka Northern hardwoods, is also called the "asbestos forest". However, a similar forest but with more oak burned for over a month during October (but mainly before much leaf drop) in NNJ back in 1963. Much of the ground was a glaciated boulder field with tree and mt laurel roots and duff down within the rocks. Fire would follow the fuel and a firefighter spraying a blaze would sometimes have another pop out of the rocks behind him (all guys back then.) Good view from our HS, could see by smoke intensity (and smell) how the fire had progressed during the overnight. (NJ also had about 200,000 acres burn in one day that April, but the Pine Barrens are a fire type ecosystem.) For NNE outside that "asbestos forest", one should read "1947 - The Week Maine Burned" before getting overconfident. And perhaps check PWM temps/precip for that October. But even in the spruce-fir country it's extremely rare to have a crown fire in mid summer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a bunch of threats about fines and citations but on July 4th they actually sent two troopers to investigate for low grade fireworks. They took what we had left too. I remember my uncle lost it on them... you came all the way out here from Tolland to steal some kids fireworks on the 4th of July...

In the winter it’s the “days and days” of snow that turns into one period of snow and some occasional flurries for most folks.

JakkelWx Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 I know how much it can snow up in the high elevations of NNE. A cow could fart in Texas and I would get an inch of snow on top of a mountain, when I went camping at the White Mountain National Forest area before I was a teen. I think it was this area, although I don't remember much as it was long ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
