  2. TK, thanks…Glad to see the word “sunny” in your forecast (although I had to search for it like a word puzzle!!)!!

  3. Good morning and thank you TK.

    Dismal out there this morning. Let us hope it brightens up a bit later on.
    At least it is not raining.

    Eric reported monthly totals to date from across the area and had a report of
    7+ inches for JP. It was NOT I that reported it. 😀

    2. FYI,
      Not viewable on my desktop computer (Windows 10).
      I had to view via my mobile device.

      Fore River Bridge. Shows the fog nicely.
      Did you stop in at DQ since you were right there?

      Btw, I “believe” this is a temporary bridge? Is that true? If it is NOT, it
      is not a very nice design.

          1. I NEVER eat ice cream anymore, unless I go by that DQ. I was there in the summers in the 60s and 70s and early 80s weekly, at least. “Small vanilla with chocolate dip, please.”

            1. I don’t eat ice cream very often, but when i do, it is mostly from that DQ. Ice cream is by far my most favorite thing to eat in the entire world. We have Häagen-Dazs at home for my wife, but I don’t touch that. I have weight issues and that is a NO NO. My Dr. just ordered me to drop
              20 pounds by October. And that is just a start as I really need to drop 40-50 pounds.

              I used to get a special order blizzard when I visited that DQ, Butter Scotch sauce with Marshmellow. Now I get a small vanilla in a dish.

              1. And seriously, if anyone likes blizzards, I HIGHLY recommend
                that special blizzard described above.

            2. I like the cherry dip but would also order a small vanilla. I rarely eat ice cream either.

              And JPD. I could see on My windows 7 desktop. How odd.

              2. Interesting. I was correct. I checked after seeing your post.

                That url Dr. Stupid posed is BLOCKED by our firewall
                due to an undesireable (for the office) website related to GAMES.

                Here is the message:

                I can change it temporarily to view it, but I don’t want to or need to since I could see from my smart phone. 😀

        2. I grew up going to that dq and spent many nights fishing under the old bridge. I have countless family members who use to work at the shipyard including my grandmother who was a welder there.

      2. It’s a temporary bridge indeed. You can see the permanent bridge they’re building off to the exact side of it in the pictures. It’s taller but still foreboding. lol

        1. Thought so, thanks for the confirmation.

          I hated it when we used to be stuck at that bridge with it raised, only to see some small sail boat with a mast just tall enough that the bridge needed to be raised. Of course, once in a while it was an oil tanker.

    1. Yes, I got a glimpse of a strange yellow orb lurking behind some thinning clouds.
      It has brightened up considerably around here. Still complete overcast, but the sun peeks through the thinner spots in the overcast. 😀

  9. The sun is out here casting FULL shadows at least for a moment. I can actually see
    some blue sky here and there. A vast improvement!

  12. To echo Philip’s comment. Indeed blue sky. It is mostly sunny here.
    Was 65 in JP and Car was reading 66.

    It is beautiful!

    So, now my question is: Is this air mass warming up more quickly than
    thought? Will we over achieve high temperatures tomorrow and Saturday?

  13. No sun yet here in Walpole. It’s been an extremely depressing 3-day stretch. Being in a 3-day risk management training might have something to do with that too…

    1. I suspect three-day risk management has a whole lot to do with it. Ugh. Hope this is the last of the three days

  14. I think maybe we caught a lucky break in Boston and sat under a hole in the clouds for about 1 1/2 hours.

    Seems to be filling in pretty much now. Much cloudiness with the sun peeking out
    here and there and still quite bright out.

      1. Wait – what? Sunshine? Not in Sutton BUT temp is warm enough to keep windows open and it looks great to me. I know you’ll all be very excited to know my new couch and chair arrives tomorrow also 😉

  16. Echo……

    I have an idea. Since no one wants to talk about weather, we can talk about my new furniture 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂

      1. No? Ok juggling…let’s talk about juggling. Sorry. Watching Big Bang and I’m getting desperate

          1. Poor Sale. Every stinken time he pitches, the sox couldn’t hit the boston garden if they were standing at the front door. I’d be mega pissed if it were I.

      1. Haha. I’ve been slyly using pictures I’ve taken day of as the backgrounds for a while now.

  21. Good morning, everyone!

    I guess I am the first one up!
    I will put the coffee on for all of you.
    One cup or two? I have danishes and croissants, too!

    Hefty thunderstorm underway just south of New London, heading northeast.

    Happy Friday and have a great weekend!
