Summer's finally here...

[thetrailboss]

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.

Plus VT is very cloudy in, say, late October, November, December, etc. This explains the statistic (source???). It is NOT normally cloudy during the summer months. As you have seen, up here in NNE this has been far from a normal summer. There has been no summer.

x2, which makes the last two days seem like a blessing!

It's going to be friggin 90 today...so I figured I'd post this.

Friday and Saturday night: Low temps in Southern VT were in the 50s. I've noticed a few of the maple leaves are begning to change ever so slightly. Also, we did two "break in" burns on the new Jotul. One more to go, then we can run it wide open.

Forecast says 97* today. I should really go to the office, but I'm gonna work from home and turn on the a/c

If it makes everyone feel better, last Friday when I was up at the Mount Washington Hotel, I was supposed to climb the big Mountain with my Uncle + 2 cousins until the stomach flu took me out Well the three of them climb up from the Cog Railway side, and as they passed through the 5,000 foot level a squall rolled through and by the time they got close to the 6,000 foot level it was snowing!

Not much longer now! Plus, Saturday AM down at the hotel, across the street from Brettonwoods, the starter at the golf course told us that it 45 that morning!

Indoor pool was a nice comfy 85ish (with similar air temp) Brand new outdoor pool was the cause of many blue skin toned and shivering kids and wasn't being used by very many adults

Jotul stoke!

So what if it was 70F for break in burn 1...and 60F for break in burn 2. Gotta get this dialed in before the real cool weather rolls in!

Nice work Glenn! I'm sensing that we'll be seeing some pics of that stove along with some smoked meat and a bottle or 2 of Mich Ultra in forth coming TR's

 

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

Mich Ultra..lol

 

[Glenn]

No bottles...I buy 30 packs of slimline cans. :beer: I :heart: New Hampshire!

There is a pic of me smiling next to the stove after I hooked it up...with a Mich Ultra.

This will offer a nice view after a good day on the slopes. I can easly see myself dozing off in front of the warm fire......then waking up at 3AM and stumbling up the spiral staircase...then up the oddly spaced stairs to the loft. :razz:

Summer is here alright (and almost gone!), kayaked and camped on Lake Umbagog starting yesterday morning. Hardly a cloud in the sky, mid eighties yesterday, low ninties today. Around 11 PM last night we kayaked out to watch the meteor shower... no clouds! Saw a few meteors. Did not want to come back today.

Little over two months and SR will be open!
