Summer Weather 2024

[Peter Minde]

Glad the storm is clearing outta yer neck of the woods. I'm in Brattleboro VT. Memorial service for my late aunt and uncle this afternoon. 5 km race up Stratton tomorrow. Debbie ain't done here. I've also seen some serious state of emergency stuff about Essex County NY.

Northern lights too maybe if it’s not clouded out.

Northern lights dazzle Upstate NY. Will aurora borealis return tonight?

Sky watchers hoping to catch the Perseid meteor shower over Upstate New York were treated to a show from the northern lights overnight Sunday.

Locals are calling for tree out of the next 4 nights will be in the 40's. Yes!

It's also likely we'll break a record low high temperature for tomorrow that was set in 1922.

Pretty cool.....pun intended

Hmm, I may be wearing the ski jacket I brought for Big SNOW after I get to Lake Placid tomorrow.

Lake effect...rain the last couple days.

2024 NY State Fair opening day could see lake effect -- rain, that is

Opening day will feature an early taste of fall.

Golfing rounds have been washed out twice so far since Monday.
Got in 7 holes in 2 tries & my feet are getting webbed. Tain’t no roll neither.

Cuse didn’t get much of the normal lake effect snow the last couple winters.
Maybe 24-25 will be different.

Right? That LE rain was crazy yesterday.

It's still in the 40's at night. The hillsides have a twinkle of yellow to them now.

Now the puffballs have twinkles of dang slugs.

Do slugs taste like snails?

I didn’t taste it but from personal experience they smell absolutely awful when cooked.

Years ago my wife and I bought a POS of a house that was on a nice piece of land. We had plans for a new house in front of the old one. One night my wife heard a buzzing sound coming from one of the outlets. Smoke started pouring from the opening.
I turned off the breakers one by one till it stopped.
After removing the cover I found the smoldering gelatinous remains of a slug. Seems the metal box had an opening he slithered through and made contact with one of the receptacle screws .
It was a gawd awful stench
