9-2 Summer

Well it was a pretty hot and dry July and August...June was rather wet . 9 of the 11 weekends in July and August were totally rain free. There were 3 different really hot stretches..or heat waves lol as attested to by electric bill. Here it is Labor Day and its super gross muggy...and starting Wednesday it looks to be cooler and drier..perfect for my camping trip comin up.

Well it looks beautiful and big but not pink.....here's a link to a site that lists all the Monthly Native American names of the full moons and why they were given those names. ;)

3-8-13

they really botched this call,  they were saying 3-6 from the storm way offshore  but it turned into a monster and stalled...some places got 2 feet....only 14" here in the Brook.....

Bigtime.

Every forecaster has his/her flub, but I can't recall one this bad in a long time. I was hoodwinked into believing a storm scooting into the Atlantic wouldn't produce nearly two feet of snow across the Commonwealth. And in my defense, that is true in many respects. How many times has a storm darted southeast of Nantucket leaving us unscathed? And who would call for those amounts with a storm hundreds of miles offshore?!?
This one was different. We were lulled into believing the storm played its best hand yesterday: snow fell and melted on contact. Big gaps opened up and the sun briefly poked out. Stay the course, we thought.
But the storm stalled. Then it hooked into a batch of moisture - perhaps subtropical - and catapulted it back into Mass. The curtain closed around 5-6am, the curtain closed, and we were doomed.
Not since Dec. 2005  (a much stronger storm mind you that hit in the evening rush with gusts near 100mph on Cape Cod) did I scramble to move the numbers, figure out what was going on, and figure out when it would end.
Been quite a season.
Anyway the bottom line is the evening drive is much better (but not perfect) than the AM drive. Snow shuts down from north to south, and we might even see some sun before it sets.
Weekend is looking much better (give it until noon Saturday before the wind shut down along the coast/Capes) with sun and milder temperatures.
Stop in and visit me under my rock.
