Who said this summer wasn’t hot? It just didn’t feel memorable...especially north of the pike. Sorry heat weenies. 

I guarantee I won't remember this summer for anything except maybe Isaias. It was hot. Summer always seems hot.

Winni was about as warm as you’ll ever see from June on. Just no fronts. 

I've fished it 3 or 4 times this year and the warmest may have have been late June. It got off to a crazy warm start this year...Main lake was low-mid 70s last weekend, probably still 80 in some of the coves

Feb 2015 was -13 Summer so far +3.5

What did the 3 months of winter end up combined?  I’m at +4.3 for the Summer.  My 3 combined winter months was. -3.5, so this summer has that winter beat by a solid 1F.  This doesn’t include today’s departure either.

I don’t know, there is something about a constant warm to hot stretch with no break. Sure it didn’t hit 100, but when it’s just no real break for days and days...it’s memorable for me anyways. We had those couple of cool days in Mid July I think where we got into the 50s, but after that...yeesh.

Exactly, run-of-the-mill.

It was definitely a hot summer, living in Sacramento, Dallas, Tokyo and Miami, this was impressive.  Usually here i can look forward to cool downs, not this year.  I will remember mostly for that.  But not impressive heat, just persistence of it.

We were comparing months but my coldest winter was 76-77 - 6.2

During the month of June (I think it was June) when SNE had that period of being under the influence of the mid-Atlantic cut-off lows and NNE was torching...had that not happened BDL would probably easily be near 45 90F days and you could probably tackle on several more for PVD...maybe a few for ORH and perhaps BOS too. 

Remember all those 20” snow storms that DXR missed/busted while EMA crushed...had that not happened as we tweaked the atmosphere to our liking, we would be referencing WCTATT instead of EMAATT.

People won't remember it b/c it's not blasted about in the media...that's what helps people remember events (weather or world events).

83F at 8pm 

what a tarred tarmac pit 69 here. What is the temp at your house

I have
also added my first wintry ptype of the season for the summit of
Mount Washington. MWN looks like they will sneak into the low
30s tonight in CAA. Moist layer looks very shallow and will be
capped by warmer air in the inversion layer...but that may be
enough to squeeze out some freezing precip on the summit before
things dry out.

Brrr

Not much to blast. People usually don't get too worked up over it being 67 instead of 61 overnight.

I guess we'll have to agree to disagree. Going to throw another Log on the Fire and watch the rest of the Bruins.

We’re due for some interior crushers. The classic 495 to 84 type storms. Haven’t seen a lot of those recently. I guess Dec 1-3 last winter was pretty close though down in your area didn’t get as much as like N CT to interior MA.

I think the argument is just dealing with differences of perspectives. Personal views (i.e. "how memorable") vs. outcome. 

Sure personally 67 vs. 61 nobody cares about but in statistical sense and historical it's a fairly big deal

Discounting a summer a not hot b/c there wasn't records seems kinda silly...that's like discounting snow winter as snowy b/c it didn't produce a historic snowstorm or a snow event that dropped above"x" inches. 

Perhaps we didn't have record high's...perhaps some of the top climo stations didn't obtain impressive thresholds of certain temperature readings...but IMO duration is much more impressive than a daily record. And the duration of the warmth this summer was quite impressive. Once that switch flipped in late June or early July we just didn't look back. Hell, we couldn't even buy a legit cold front to move through...at our latitude that is quite impressive (even for summer). The consistency of days pushing 85-90 was quite impressive. Even during our "hot" summers we tend to get days of crap mixed in. Those were very few and far between. 

 

 

you weren't around for 88

I was but I was only a few months old  

Sort of glad I didn't have to go through that with a memory 

[weatherwiz]

I know we use 90 as a bar for measurement during the summer but I would love to know where each major station stands historically with days between 85-89.

Last classic sne interior crusher was Oct 11 imo. If you take 84 and keep going NE through MA...and basically use that as your southern extent of the max zone. Anything SE of that line is a mix then rain while anything NW is deform. Mar 17 was close but too far NW..that was more NewEng interior.

My P&C has a high of 57 tomorrow and doesn't make it to 70 at all in the entire period. Hope that's wrong!!! Also hope we don't decouple or we get our first frost or freeze. Not ready 

I am.

Can’t wait to see the documentation of a first winter in likely one of the coldest/snowiest zones in NH, for someone used to a Maryland climate.
