Can quote the backyard under-the-forest-canopy dews with the BDL temperature for maximum hype/effect. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s calm and serene at times yet damaging and dangerous at other times. It offers great privacy and higher dews . Of course if the woods are all 90% Oaks, that brings another set of issues . Here’s the same shot this morning. Lawn def scorched That does look rather dangerous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea trampoline needs to come down, branch fell and ripped the base during Izzy. April storm was one of the worst. Oct 17 was definitely scarier when I had all the oaks surrounding the house. Thank God I took down 8 trees. But being surrounding by forest on 3 sides is still pretty sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoarfrostHubb Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 We were out in Pete-country yesterday. The Savoy/Cheshire area is so beautiful. Some pretty nasty looking residences, but mostly amazing countryside and properties. I hadn't spent much time there before. Jiminy Peak is a pretty nice resort, too.

Typhoon Tip Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 We need some DP/theta-e to re-pool and well up into the boundary layer ...if/when that happens, these next three days, today through Sunday ...could feature some entertaining cloud scapes. Crispy TCU days with some glaciation ... I was looking at that the NAM and other guidance and the blend has a kind of BD or amorphously so stalling from upstate NY to BOS or SE NH... and that could support some theta-e pooling ... So SPC has Marginal hashed out and that's just about exactly what I was thinking too so... hey, something - Boy did the temp respond ... 53 was my low, just touched 85.... we could be over 40 diurnal today - not bad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianW Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 I highly recommend if you have trees that can fall on your house get them removed. I know of 2 people that had huge oak trees fall on their homes in the recent storm. They are being told to find somewhere to live for up to 4 months. There is nobody available to fix them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am having 4 cut down in the next couple weeks that are way too close. If I had my way, I’d cut every tree on my property within 200ft of the house. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
