We've had 11.82" May 17 thru today (average for the period is 15.17", so not terrible) but the 17 days June 28-July 14 had 8.33" and the rest 3.49" - 2.59" over the remaining 88 days w/o Saturday's 0.90. Another CoC day, low 40s this AM to upper 60s this afternoon - w/o yesterday's wind, clouds and 60° max. Last 5 days' highs: 64, 65, 72 (low of 38), 55, 60.

My grandmother's house in RI was built in 1732, needless to say its a bit drafty. Even our home was built in the late 70s and one of the first things I did was stuff insulation and spray all around the foundation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of those old COOP forms from the 1800s had an indoor temp with them. I always cringed when I saw January days with temps in the 40s and 50s inside while it was -20° outside. Glad we live here.

Or maybe invest in getting central air. Hands down the best decision we made. We were luck that we had the entire house ducted when it was built so it made install that much easier. No more unsightly window units to obstruct your view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would I need new windows? My low was 56. I doubt any furnaces came on anywhere in the northeast . Why would they have thermostats set for heat? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginx snewx Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Today is the anniversary of Hurricane Carol 1954. One of the few pure tropical storms to hit us. One thing I never knew until yesterday was that the storm was exceptionally poorly forecast and came as a complete surprise. That morning all forecasts had it going way out to sea. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the saddest things as a weather weenie is knowing a "surprise storm" like in the past is now basically impossible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First fire in the stove this season (except for burning some non-recyclable papers) as the past 2 days' means of 52 and 54 had cooled the house to 63-64. (Thermostat set near 60 so no oil used.)

Ginx snewx Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Just a perfect day wxwise unfolding. Men in suits taking cover shots for the Chambers annual magazines everywhere.
