I'm betting there's a lot of things you can't do with gloves on. I wear gloves (thin ones) in the summer too. This biggest issue is dealing with trenches and PVC pipe and wire and flex conduit. It all sucks to work with in the cold. True... electrician here as well, although I can never quite get used to the dews at work. Give me 30 to 60 degrees any day and I'll be far more productive 84 in Simsbury, so far dews lower than yesterday by quite a bit 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick-02540 Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 86/67. Quite sure I'll blow past the forecast high of 90. Just stopped by my brother's new old house. Guy was in the attic installing central air ductwork. If you think your life sucks, think about that poor SOB. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamarack Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 1 hour ago, Typhoon Tip said: you think it's that shallow - interesting. I think part of the problem is that we are on a sloped curve. More importantly, the slope is not Y/X ... it is Y^2/X That affects people, and that interns effects their 'intuitive impression' of how nature is changing outside the window. Personally I think it's further along than one half of a single growing zone - intuitively. Because of the acceleration in which this shit is all happening, the scalar values may say 1/3 ... 1/2 ... 4/7ths... etc, but 1 year later those are too shallow. The full hardiness zones are 10° steps. IMO (and in the data I've accumulated), even the 5° half-zone is a bit of a stretch, though it's getting closer.

kdxken Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 89/67 at noon. Not a cloud in the sky. It's amazing how much better it feels with the dew point just a few degrees lower. Today is definitely doable to work outside. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LWM/BED from the 70s may be a better comparison. Last thing I would do is reference the growing zones to track this warming. November warmth hasn't helped us, as sun angle is prohibitive by November 13th or so. That's latitude dependent. And our climate has been most "normal" in early to mid spring, which means the frosts are common through end of april. We've warmed up a lot, but I'm still gardening like a New Englander... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoCORH4L Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 Did an asphalt shingle roof yesterday in Amesbury with the brother in law, think we both got mild heat stroke. Was 94° actual temp. I swear up on that roof in direct sunlight it was 115+. Couldn't kneel on the roof or your knee would burn even with with pants on. Never been that hot. He called out of work today lol. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I was confusing you're previous discussion with him with climate zones. You guys were talking about gardening/growing season climo - I guess. I think I even typed that while still having the former aspect in mind lol What I had in mind was about "climate bands". Like there's a distinction between lower M/A to upper M/A in both empirical data and sensible appeal, both. Just like there's a difference between the upper M/A vs SNE, C vs N NE. Having said that... these bands are shifting N - probably at the rate of generations. Although, like I was saying there is calculative reasons for wondering if that is accelerating. The other thing is that if you ...well, when "I" look these climate bands up I do not find them in codified NOAA/NCEP or NWS very readily. Results keep referring to global climate zone definitions. Like "Highland" or "Tropical" or "Desert" ... but not down to the discrete level whereby distinctions between ATL, PHL and BOS like that. I'm sure its out there somewhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dendrite Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 No I’m not talking growing literally. It was a casual reference to about a 5F rise in minima. Obviously it’s deeper than that, but we are not 1970s NJ up here right now. And disagree about the frost season. CON’s growing season has expanded dramatically on both ends.

grambo Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 I hope that Beryl’s remnants don’t play out here in VT and the North Country of NY as a worst possible scenario. They’d come pretty much exactly a year after the most recent catastrophic floods. While I don’t live in a flood prone area, I don’t know how much more certain communities, specifically in the valleys of the Green Mountains, can take in terms of repeat onslaughts of water. Looking at the tail end of the 12Z NAM3KM, showing ~1.4in over the first 3 hours from the onset of rain with already saturated soils, I have concerns. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's probably borderline irresponsible to say this but you're not likely to get that localized thing. Very high sigma events of that nature don't load that frequently. 6" of rain in 2 days into a topographic funneling was unique, not just for rain amts and rates, but into the circumstantial terrain. Just looking at the modeling and comparing, the event last year was an unusual low movement from PA to the ST L seaway. This imposed deep layer SSE inflow of high PWAT air ( relative to other thermodynamics), then impinging into the higher els and enhancing lift. Contrasting, this is coming over the NW arc of a coherent WAR ridge...which is along an anticyclonic curved trajectory. I have a feeling that yeah there'll be training but also a tendency to stretch Beryl's entrails along the contours of the flow ... sort of off-setting some of it, too. Obviously pay attention to it as it all nears - 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
