tamarack Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 River is super muddy this morning, though hasn't risen much. Combo of freshly plowed fields and yesterday's TS. A friend with a scanner heard lots of calls about trees down, wires down, Farmington, Wilton, other towns. We had 0.42" but the real action passed a few miles to our south. Low of 45 this morning, first sub-50 since May 14, real CoC stuff, with enough breeze to make the black flies work for a meal. The month's first 13 days were almost exactly on the average. 14-23 was +9.3, pulling the month up to +4.1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sn0waddict Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 78 out on block island already. That’s cooking for them this time of year. Hopefully that’s lasts though the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spanks45 Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 82/47..... Just installed a whole house fan yesterday....our valley radiates so well, even on hot days with lower humidity, it was almost a no brainer. Wish I was familiar with them sooner. In 2 hours, it took the house from 80 to 70, had to turn it off, it was actually getting too chilly inside by 10 pm last night. We got one that works for our 2600 sqft house and on high only uses around 500 watts. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherwiz Posted May 24 Author Share Posted May 24 The breeze is a bit much but this is phenomenal. Would be 10/10 perfect if not for the breeze (or if it was lighter anyways). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may get held way back across NY/PA. I'm not even sure if we have a shot for thunderstorms with the current look. Don't even see any elevated CAPE getting into the region. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Typhoon Tip Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 I think it's perfect with the breeze. It's value-add. It reminds me of a perfectly tempered swimming pool in the air. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Open a few windows downstairs and it's sucks the outside air inside, pushing the hot air up and into the attic. With the right attic ventilation it will push the hot air into and out of the attic. Cooling the house and eventually the attic as well. I didn't expect it to work so well, sort of a hard to believe deal, but our neighbors have one, so I got to see it in action before I bought one. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamarack Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 1 hour ago, Damage In Tolland said: Is this an attic fan, that pulls in outside air? That's our strategy. On warmer days the fan gets used as soon as the outside temp drops below the inside. The AC mode of the heat pump is used as needed when the outside temp is the warmer, and daytime only while we're relatively near it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our house has one of those too. Almost never use it . Maybe 10 years ago was last time. It does cool house down when it’s cool outside but man .. it pulls in crazy amounts of pollen. You’ll have white counters yellowed in 2 minutes this time of year. It gets all over everything 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Air Condo this time of year. Windows are for fall. There’s been posters on here over the years ( some prominent ones) that refused to install until June or July and had small children that were warned about the effects sleeping covered in pollen and on sheets etc has a on the children as they get older in terms of developing allergies. These same posters also would teach their children how to write the alphabet in the pollen on the furniture. 1 5 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 Feels like we went through the whole year of seasons in a few days. Deep summer near 90F and humid and now it’s September with maxes struggling to get to 70F and low dews, breeze and puffy Cu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 SNE takes the cake +1 today though, damn, low 80s and dews in the 40s is like the holy grail of businessmen. Widespread RH below 30% across interior SNE. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next house I build or buy will have one, the house I'm in now has C/air but would rather try to get by without it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
