Snowedin Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 30 minutes ago, Hoth said: A few months of dews is fine by me. Gets old by September through, especially 75 degree ones. Yeah you def notice a distinctive heaviness to the air once we go above 70. For me, it’s just the vibe of being able to walk around in light clothing with very little discomfort, unless you happen to be doing intense activities outside. I’m a little more biased since when I’m out I tend to sit out with a nice cold drink and soak up the sun or I’ll take a nice slow walk in the woods with the old doggie. I always try to think of this weather relative to what we typically have in say mid January and it’s a world of difference for enjoying time outdoors, especially if you’re a slow mover like myself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes .No drought at all but with more than half my lawn newly seeded in spring , it has to stay moist . I’ve got a guy coming next week for over seed/ slit seed . It’s gotten dry short term and for lawns , that’s no bueno 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally at least one day it's bucketing but it would be nice if everything wasn't muddy ruts from trucks and trailers. What fair? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick-02540 Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 67.6/67.5 Thought it was getting better earlier on, but still dewy. Found a decent old pair of binoculars and looked at Andromeda. Amazing how many stars show up in a black patch of sky just with binoculars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIPPYVALLEY Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 Great late summer day. Twas' definitely on the humid side doing chores but nice. Not everyone here will find this amusing but... I went to a cookout and I was talking to a MA state trooper. We were casually discussing his job and I joked about profiling vehicles on I-91. He said, with no hesitation, outside of obvious red flags, on weekends they mainly focus on CT/NJ plates. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A neighbor on the Cape has a son who is a trooper. He said you're basically OK on I-90 as long as you're not going over 80. If it's raining, you can go as fast as you want- "a good cop is a dry cop." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I-91 from Northampton to St Johnsbury is basically, "keep it under 80mph and you are good". edit: Based on my experiences and advice from LE friends. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually set my cruise control to 74 in a 65, figuring the rule "over 10" applies. But doing so, I constantly run up to cars that must set theirs at 73.

We had continuous thunder from 6-10:30 PM on the 14th, starting with some spectacular C-C bolts 6-7, and 2 more hours more on the next morning, none closer than one mile but quite noisy. JJA had very similar precip: 5.74"/5.58"/5.65" 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hillsborough County Fair in New Boston, NH. https://www.hcafair.org/ FWIW, I help lead a 4-H club that has three competition robotics teams. You know the weather people that can give you endless amounts of information at the drop of question? It can be like that too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
