I think of my grandfather (rest in peace) being 85 years old and freezing cold all the time. The only time he could get warm was sitting on his porch in central NY when it was like 90/70 at SYR. He’d be legit cold at like 80F if the dew point was in the 40s/50s... just like DIT/Kev. Complaining about “cold evenings” when it’s like 70F outside, acting/dressing like it’s about to snow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen her wearing wool socks, heavy stockings, and a shawl wrapped tightly around her in some crazy high temps/dews. I would definitely succumb to heat stroke in the same setup. It seems like if there is any kind of "breeze" hitting her (like from a ceiling fan) she starts to shiver even if the ambient temp is 80+. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowedin Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 I thought 2014 was exceptionally dry, 2016 as well..but if this type of dryness continues through August, we might be making a run at one of the driest summers in recent history (at least in this area). At least some of the morning fog/high dews have kept things moist some of the time lol.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep saying I want winter QPF, but recent summers have been so dry and we try to keep a fair share of plantings going in the warm season. Can’t we just only get rain at night when we sleep? LOL.

When I thought about it after, sounds like N VT, N NH or NW ME...in the right years. I could never convince my wife to move up there now or after retirement though so I just have to visit and dream.

powderfreak Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Cabot cheese and dairy land led the state of Vermont for water in July. 9.15" and 8.48" is a wet month. Pretty awesome consistency between two stations near each other, to the east of the Cabot Village center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like 8.33" in Randolph over the past 30 days. 4.43" of that came in a few hours on 7/14 when my driveway turned into a river. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
