July has arrived ... the Meteorologically defined mid summer month


Typhoon Tip
 Share

Recommended Posts

Somewhere between hints at a phase change in the GLAAM, ...seasonal expansion of the HC, which is clearly identifiable in the polar stereographic layout of the geopotential medium, and these indexes flirting with a positive AO/-PNA tandem telecon,  exists a potential to balloon a substantive heat ridge over the mid latitude continent latter in the month.

Not saying it will happen, but having those three aspects in play is intriguing for heat.    But for the time being the operational runs keep placing a SPV N of Superior in the latter mid range, while still hosting 582 dm hgts from ORD-BOS.  Fast flow MCC's ?   ... The 850 mb thermal layout is +15C while that excessive gradient ( particularly for summer) attempts to anchor down.

Not sure I'm buying the depth of SPV behavior in those runs, anyway.  Both the Euro and GFS are guilty of over lowering for different reasons, in the D6 -14 range.  The Euro tends to "wash" perturbation out of the field at D4+, which results in a single events being free to go bonkers, while the GFS tends to cumulatively aggregate cold hgts on the N side of the ambient westerlies.  It's ends up gradient rich in that range much of the time, regardless whatever else is going on...

Don't laugh I have a jerk neighbor who blasts his gas jet engine lawn blower at 630 on a Sunday.  Just happy I was up. He's far enough away from me but bet his other neighbor with the new baby doesn't appreciate it. Some people are jerks

Our neighbor’s landscaper has the loudest mower I have ever heard.  It’s disturbing any time of day.  It’s not the annoying drone of a mower. It sounds like an outboard.  We have a well insulated house and are used to sleeping through noise because we live under the flight line for BdL about 2-3 miles away.  We had a window air conditioner and two large fans (one a box fan and one an industrial size round fan) all on high at the time  They fired up the mower about 35 feet from our bedroom window Saturday morning at 6:30am. It woke us up from a sound sleep when we went to bed at 1am.  All my life I have waited until at least 9am to mow out of consideration to neighbors. So I asked on the “locals” town Fb page if there was an ordinance on when you could mow and explained why I was asking. I did find out the ordinance is that you can’t start before 7am.  But  I truly HATE CT.  About 30+ people in my town gave me an earful about how I was a jerk for asking.  Apparently instead of being mad I was supposed to bring the poor Ass landscaper water because poor working guys have to make a living and it’s hot (yes, get out of bed in my pj’s at 6 am and run over there ‘cause that’s what they would do)  Never mind I have a difficult job and work a lot too and really needed sleep after a hard work week myself.  I was told that I should be wearing ear plugs (preemptively? - makes no sense) or that I should have been running a sound machine (again preemptively?) and then I was made fun of and threatened.  A guy on my street told everyone that it was too bad I was upset they were breathing my air.  They stole a picture from my fb page and cut it on to a mower and posted it and made fun of me.  They claimed to be organizing a “dad” lawn mower parade to go by my house next Saturday at 6:30 am.  These people are supposed to be adults.  They all have little children and look to be around 35 years old as per their FB pages.  There were no less them 30-40 people pig piling on.  I literally hate these people in CT, on this street and in this town. Why would any community treat a fellow community member that way? I have never interacted with any of these people.  I did not know any of them by name or by face and they certainly don’t know me. I’ve done nothing to provoke them other than ask a question. I basically don’t even live here. I asked a simple question about a town ordinance and got threatened. It’s just mind boggling.  I finally just tried to play it off and said that my husband would enjoy the parade and would be there to greet them and their parade just so they would perceive me as less vulnerable and less of a victim (because yes he exists and yes he won’t put up with their crap).  They accused me of threatening them!?  Seriously WTF.  As a couple of you guys know, I am a VT resident, I’m pretty close to retirement age and in reality I am only in CT getting the house ready to sell.  But when I contrast the way people are in VT with the way people treat each other in CT it’s a pretty sad stark difference.  I grew up in CT but people are just plain mean here now.  It’s very good incentive to hurry and GTF out of here quickly.  Whatever happened to being neighborly and community minded?  Apparently that is gone.  

At least from reading this thread I know that I am not the only one who thinks mowing at 6:30 am is rude.  Totally unbelievable.  People need to do better.

Well in this part of CT 99% of my neighbors agree with me. Sorry your area is that rude. I don't say anything to him just mind my own like the rest of us around here.

Thanks.  I’m glad to hear that.  I was really shocked.  I did not say anything to the guy mowing or the neighbor either.  I honestly just wanted to know what the rule was.  I did sort of expect people to say something like, “the ordinance says 7am.  They should not be doing that.”  To me that would have made sense.  And it would have been something I could casually mention to the single woman that lives in the house where the mowing was occurring next time I happen to see her.  Like “your landscaper was here mowing last Saturday at 6:30am and woke us up.  The town ordinance is 7am at the earliest.  Could you please speak to him about that?”

I do landscaping on the side for one of my buddies who owns his own company. We never have started before 8, and usually try to start somewhere that isn’t sense with houses.

Some things can’t wait though. One of our neighbors sent a text out to all the neighbors asking if anyone had a problem with a construction crew demolishing an installing a new patio starting at 630am. It was a weekday, and a one time thing, nobody cared.

It’s not hard to be courteous.

Call the cops - they’ll respond. Pretty sure there is noise ordinances before 8 am in most towns. It might be 7 …

But make it clear

Depends on how much of a good ol' boy network the town is tied into.  I've seen shit go sour for folks in some of the hill towns around here because they were "outsiders".

If it were a weekday and an emergency id be fine with it especially if I knew.  Heck…..  In a true emergency any time is fine. But this was a routine weekly mowing of 1/2 an acre.  The only person out of the huge group being mean that backed me was the guy who lives two door down.  He, ironically, owns a very large landscaping company and he made it clear that he felt it was very unprofessional for the guy to mow at 6:30.  But he was the only one.  I got called a Karen. I was told (as if I don’t work) that people need to work for a living. I was told I was being childish.  I was told I was not a good community member because I was intolerant. It went on and on.  I finally reported the whole group for harassment and threatening and left the group.

 Facebook opinions mean nothing, as the saying goes everybody has one, delete the account and don’t worry about people who have too much time on their hands, you won’t be missing a thing, there’s a product called Indows and they make a version specifically for noise, just measure and they will send you a perfect fit that installs in minutes
