Be careful what you wish for. Last time I said things were getting boring around here, 9/11 struck a week later. No $hit.
Now I keep my mouth shut and I give thanks for each day.

Hurricane Ivan taught people that building a house along the Deleware river wasn't the best idea..

Straight from cold and rainy to hot and humid. This is the kind of weather that makes me hate the NWS.

Why the NWS? Because I feel more often than not Intellicast, Accuweather, WU and hell, even the Weather Channel produces more accurate forecasts and I need a place towards which to direct my anger.

Sun!!! Waa-hoo!! I know I have complained a lot about the rain, but, the rivers are running awesome right now! Creeks that flow off of the Pemi that are normally long time dried out now are still runable!

Some folks unfortunately put their guard down, expecting this to be normal waters at this time. I am hearing more of this each day.

Deefield river is running more than 10 times its average flow for this time of year.
Very sad.

It is very sad. There were four rescues in NH over the weekend. A body was found in the Merrimack River yesterday afternoon. A rescue just happened on the Pemi in Woodstock, not sure what happened.

The river can be fun, but it is always dangerous.

Well, you are more than welcome to take all of the rain we have had in here in VT. This has not been summer at all up here.

This is good to hear...have the family camping trip in a few weeks and we don't want a replay of the endless rain we had last summer. :-x

Isn't Vermont typically one of the cloudiest states??? Everyday it rains..I don't feel guilty sitting on the internet..which I prefer over most summer activities..

You're probably thinking of state of Washington. It gets so gloomy there, even in the summer. A friend of mine moved there, and fled the place after 9 months because it so depressed him.

If you want rain, please come to my house and take as many mushrooms as you want from the lawn, all the moss that is growing on the roof and the mildew from the exterior walls. :-o

No.

I was watching a meathead film about this one extreme boarder who also dislikes summer. He's big into jumps, flips etc. Says he gets so bored in summer. the cure was to go out and buy 2 trampolines and master various moves he can use when on his board.

Dry weather? TB, I love you.




Strictly platonically, of course.

Unfortunately they are probably not the kind of mushrooms I enjoy..

Yeah but most of Burlington's weather crosses over Champlain first, probably accounting for Burlington's cloudiness, and Jay Peak's snowiness.

Not all of Vermont is like that. I bet the air dries considerbly by the time it gets down into the NEK. Foehn winds and all that.

Yipee! Nicely timed to go along with the usual cooling off starting in mid-August. Looks like we might avoid serious heat this summer while still getting some dry spells.
