tamarack Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 More on water year trivia: Checked on water year peak flow dates for 4 Maine rivers - St. John, Kennebec, Sandy, Carrabassett. St. John was by far the most consistent, with 2% in March, 60% in April, 37% in May, plus August 1981. The other 3 were fairly similar to each other. By quarters: JAM: 15% AMJ: 52% (Top 3-months: 57% for MAM) JAS: 5% OND: 28% Although February was the least likely month for peak flow (only Carrabassett in the mega-mild Feb. 1981), JAS was by far the lowest in peak flows of any 3-month span. Other regions may have different timing regimes, but for that trio of rivers, Oct. 1 makes a natural break point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kdxken Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 Cutting up a tree today and caught a huge kettle of migrating raptors. By the time I grabbed my camera they had hit an updraft and were gone . Must have been hundreds... Q: What makes a group of hawks a “kettle?” — Clair Van Buren, Bloomington, Indiana A: Hawks and other raptors migrate during the day. As the sun heats the ground, warm air rises from the earth. Certain geographic features, including natural topography or human-built areas, can vary the rate and location of heating, creating columns of warm, ascending air. Birds can enter these updrafts, and by flying or soaring in a circle within the column, they can be lifted high into the sky. As the birds reach a height where the column dissipates because it meets increasingly cooler air, they can simply set their wings and glide down into another thermal in the direction they are headed. Using this method, the birds can travel quite far while conserving energy, as it takes far less effort than constant flapping. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My place is outrageous with holding heat. One day this August I went to work without timing the AC and when I got home that night it was 93 inside. Brutal.
