    1. May have to do with sun angle vs. sensor location. I used to get a too-quick jump on sunny summer mornings with one of my sensors.

      1. Could be. Others are up around 77 but closest one says 70. That may be incorrect also and the 77s closer to true reading. Acurite does have a sun correction as you know but my poor guy is never out of the sun

        I hope you had a wonderful day yesterday. And have fun vacation plans today.

        1. At the time the temps from the nearest stations in your area were middle 70s.

          Great time so far! Big fireworks display in Gloucester tonight. 🙂

  2. Thanks Tk . 3:30 starts a 4 day extremely much needed break of course the 3 days this week made it Harder with 3am starts the last 3 days .

  4. SE sea breeze at Logan. My only wish is that it would penetrate inland enough
    to catch my house. Even if it does, with SE wind, it’s like 20 miles from ocean
    edge to my house. Need East or NE wind to have an effective sea breeze at my house.
    SE doesn’t usually cut it. 🙂

  5. Wind of the water is your friend during the summer if your not a fan of the heat and humidity. In the spring wind off the water is not your friend.

  6. Thanks TK !

    Dp close to 70F here.

    Couple of heavy !! showers here yesterday. Torrent about 8:35pm last night driving back to campground from (PA Grand Canyon), yup, that’s what they call it. It was beautiful.

    1. I had not heard of it so looked it up. Fascinating. 45 miles long with depths of 1500 feet.

  10. SSK is right. It feels very warm today.

    By the way, the snow plows are out on the streets of Back Bay and Beacon Hill. A strange sight on July 3rd, especially when it’s so warm. Sadly, it’s a sign of the times, as the trucks with the plows are positioned to prevent car or truck bombs from approaching the Esplanade.

  11. Thanks for the birthday wishes Yesterday. Going to Tanglewood tomorrow with the family.

    I now avoid Boston at all costs July 4th weekend

        1. Fantastic. I’ve seen him play there on July 4th at least 3 times. He lives close to Tanglewood.

          “Now the first of December was covered with snow
          and so was the turnpike from Stockbridge to Boston
          Though the Berkshires seemed dreamlike on account of that frosting
          with ten miles behind me and ten thousand more to go”

          These lyrics play in my head every time I drive the turnpike out to Western Massachusetts, or on my return trip.

  13. Belated thanks, TK…

    First 90 (91.8 to be exact) degree day this year on my conservative Oregon Scientific.

    Was thinking about that silly story on the Bloomer Girls’ game from the Fourth of July, 1911. The funniest thing about that story that the Taunton team didn’t realize that some of the Bloomer Girls were men until their make-up melted off in the 100-degree heat!!! 🙂

    Wishing you all the best Independence Day ever. I hope you all have the day/weekend/week off to enjoy great times with family and friends!!!

    My country, ’tis of thee,
    Sweet land of liberty,
    Of thee I sing;
    Land where my fathers died,
    Land of the pilgrims’ pride,
    From ev’ry mountainside
    Let freedom ring!

    1. My country `tis of thee was was first performed in public on July 4, 1831 at a children’s Independence Day celebration at Park Street Church in Boston.

      It has the same melody as God Save the Queen, which is England’s national anthem, with very different lyrics (first sung in 1745 as God Save the King):

      God save our gracious Queen!
      Long live our noble Queen!
      God save the Queen!
      Send her victorious,
      Happy and glorious,
      Long to reign over us,
      God save the Queen.
      O Lord our God arise,
      Scatter her enemies
      And make them fall;
      Confound their politics,
      Frustrate their knavish tricks,
      On Thee our hopes we fix,
      God save us all!

      1. And Katharine Lee Bates of Falmouth and Wellesley wrote the lyrics to “America the Beautiful” in 1895.

        From Wikipedia:

        The words to her famous poem first appeared in print in The Congregationalist, a weekly journal, for Independence Day, 1895. The poem reached a wider audience when her revised version was printed in the Boston Evening Transcript on November 19, 1904. Her final expanded version was written in 1913. When a version appeared in her collection America the Beautiful, and Other Poems (1912), a reviewer in the New York Times wrote: “we intend no derogation to Miss Katharine Lee Bates when we say that she is a good minor poet.”[10] On November 11, 1918, a battalion of the 26th Infantry Division of the US Army (colloquially known as the Yankee Division) sang “America the Beautiful” upon hearing the announcement of the Armistice.[1]:xvii The hymn has been sung to several tunes, but the familiar one is by Samuel A. Ward (1847–1903), written for his hymn “Materna” (1882).[11]

        1. Such a beautiful song. I believe it should be our national anthem. Thanks for sharing the information, Captain.

      1. When our oldest was christened at the church, the minister at that time told us. Oddly, it is rarely mentioned
