Usually I see them more in winter because it's easier to spot them with no foliage/undergrowth. But this summer, I've glanced into the woods many times and saw them moving. Also on a brighter note, the yellowjackets this summer have seen quite a bit fewer than normal. I'm wondering if some of the ground nests got flooded out during the heavier rain events. I'm sure I'll step on a nest in September now that I said this. You fucking Ginxed me. I just ran over a nest with my lawn mower. Got stung twice. I fired those bastards up. 1 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fired those bastards up. Yeah they're still around. Took care of three nests a week or so ago. Not sure the nests are as large as most years. This however is large. Noticed it today. Bald-faced nest in the wood. Judging by the traffic it's a doozy. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right along and just north of the warm front is going to get smoked with rain. That may end up being over the Sound or on Long Island through extreme southern Rhode Island and outer Cape, but there is going to be a swath of like 3-5'' of rain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, although 3K was fairly far to the north too. I'm still leery of this getting to the S coast...but not impossible. Kind of hope it does because it's been boring lol.

ma blizzard Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 Typical super over amped NAM run right before go time .. 3km solution seems a lot more believable than the 12km Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One very close to the sfc warm front/SLP track and perhaps a second farther inland closer to the H7 warm front? Based on where the NAM/GFS are developing and tracking the sfc low it seems very hard pressed to believe the sfc warm front will ever make it to the coast, but the outer Cape I think would have the best shot.

Yeah probably an area with the 850-700 WF and then near the srfc WF. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

78Blizzard Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 I see the 12z GFS finally threw in the towel on us getting into the 90's. First run in a while that I've seen without anything even approaching 90 here for the entire run. That probably means we will see some. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay with me as Public Lands' peer review field trip is tomorrow and Wednesday, downeast this time, overnight at Lubec. (Of course, a noted forestry professor while I was at U.

powderfreak Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 Euro tries to build the ridge into here only for it to get beaten back by more troughing. These models are finding any excuse possible to not let ridging establish itself in the Northeast. Better blocking than we see in winter on some of these runs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that is a brutal white faced hornets nest in that pile. My guess is several hundred hornets at minimum based on the frequency of the traffic in and out of the nest. Dig into that wood pile on a 20F November morning and see how big the nest remnants are. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torch Tiger Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 At the moment, **and certainly good news**, is that forecast instability values are too paltry to support a risk for severe weather; given rather strong flow fields, severe weather potential would then be increased if greater instability values can materialize, though it would seem this would have to be through more sunshine/warmer temps. Ugh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar to getting your hand mashed in a revolving door.” 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
