  2. Thanks TK !

    Next week’s weather looking much better in the last 24 to 48 hrs. 🙂 🙂

  5. 48 degrees and drizzle at my house. Day 7 of misery.

    Hopefully frontal passage is earlier in the day tomorrow and moves this out to salvage at least PART of Sunday, or its day 8. At least next week look better, so it’s looking up.

  6. I was looking at data for the summers of 1983 and 1999.

    I picked these 2 summers, because if I was reading a table correctly, it appears we were coming off strong El Nino’s and went into low to moderate La Niña conditions.

    As best as I could tally, it appears there were 29 (90+) days in 1983 and 17 (90+) days in 1999. And unlike the past 2 summers, there were some 95-99F readings in both summers, with bouts of heat extending into September.

    I think TK has referred many times to 1983’s summer, but couldn’t recall if he referred to 99’s summer.

    1. Double checking that info reveals one error, in summer of 1999, it did not hit 90F in September.

    2. I haven’t brought that one up as often as the heat did not carry as long as it did in 1983, but it’s very notable.

  7. I know the summer of 83 at Bradley International Airport where the weather records are kept for inland CT that summer had the most 90 degree days at 38. Second was summer 2002 with 35.

  8. 51.8 here, yucky and miserable!

    If the weather were like this all year, I’d move the bleep out of here.
    I cannot Stand this weather! It sucks beyond belief.

    Let’s see what will happen to screw up next week’s supposed nice weather.

    1. I agree. As much as I dislike cold and snow, it is the cold season when it happens, usually. This cold and damp in May is useless.

  9. Here we sit on May 7th and the ocean temperature is:

    Station 44013 (LLNR 420) – BOSTON 16 NM East of Boston, MA Image indicating link to RSS feed of recent meteorological observations for station 44013

    Conditions at 44013 as of
    (1:50 pm EDT)
    1750 GMT on 05/07/2016:

    Water Temperature (WTMP): 47.3 °F

  10. Baseball didn’t get rained out but man, the cold and damp cuts right thru you.

  11. I just witnessed something very rare about 35 min’s ago, it was called the sun. This weather is dreadful.

    1. Could be a lot worse. Could be damaging flooding, severe storms, or something like that. We’ll survive a few days of clouds and occasional rain.

  12. I attended a dedication of an “Angel of Hope” statue and memorial today. Among the bricks in a “patio” type platform below that statue is one with my brother’s name on it. The bricks are to memorialize children that parents have lost, so my mom got one for my brother who passed away in 1997. The entire project was initiated and overseen by my sister in law’s sister and her husband, who lost their son to a tragedy during a vacation in Mexico. Also, another brick memorializes my friend’s daughter, who was sadly lost as an infant.

    Yes it was cloudy, cool, and damp out there, and the last 10 minutes of the event, including a laying of a flower by someone from each family (my mom did one), it rained pretty decently. Nobody cared. Yes it was wet, but sometimes real life overshadows the nastiness of an unsettled weather day. Anyway, we’ll have a nice break starting tomorrow afternoon and lasting at least a few days, so people will be able to enjoy that.

  13. Heavy rain squall just came across Lexington KY and completely drenched anyone not undercover at Churchill Downs. That was pretty wild.

      1. That’s the way i would love it. I don’t mind rain and clouds, but get on with it… “Like there”. I can’t state enough how much this drizzle cloudy cool weather for days is dreadful.

  14. Weather is about as bad as David Price. But, unlike Price the weather looks to improve. I have my doubts about Mr. Price, whose lost a significant amount of velocity off his fastball. This is worrisome, and could be a telltale sign of aging. Without a full complement of great non-fastball pitches, Price could fall into precipitous decline at the age of 30 and the Sox could then be doomed with yet another albatross salary. The deadweight on this club is nauseating: Craig, Kelly, Price, Sandoval, and Castillo together earn close to $80 million this year. The Pittsburgh Pirates have a combined payroll of $80 million and are a competitive team. That should be an indictment of Cherington, Dombrowski, and others. Owners blame free agency for skyrocketing salaries, but it’s much more complicated than that. Owners in baseball (and basketball) get caught up in phantom and real bidding wars. Many think that money will solve their clubs’ problems. Until they refuse to offer these ridiculous contracts, we’ll have outrageous salary inflation. And this does impact us as fans. For example, on my income I cannot afford to go to games anymore. I used to go all the time. Of course, I can’t go to Patriots’ games either, or Bruins. Sadly, they’re out of reach for me and many fans.

    1. I will add the Patriots have a 67,434 folks on waiting list. Unlike all 3 other Boston sports teams. 🙂

      1. Season ticket holder since 97. 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂

    2. Personally they should have a salary cap in baseball. I’ve never understood why they don’t. The red sox not that I watch even many games, but they are very poorly ran from what I hear. I also feel this building up of folks that can’t wait for Patriots season.

      1. Dont rush the seasons Charlie. Time passes fast as it is. I like the NFL as well as anybody, but we have a whole summer to get thru 😉

        1. I’m not rushing seasons, I just love football to much, maybe nfl football all year???? I’m sure many would like that?

    3. Not so much his age, but rather some sort of injury or breakdown.
      He’s only 30 and “should” NOT NOT NOT be losing ANY velocity at all
      at that age. NONE whatsoever. Something Is WRONG, very very wrong.

      I don’t know if steroids had anything to do with it, BUT Nolan Ryan was still
      throwing 95 mph at the ripe old age of 45. Yes, I said 45.

      Injury notwithstanding, PRICE SUCKS and is a COLOSSAL BUST!!!
      Another typical Red Sox BLUNDER!

  15. Guaranteed contracts are killing baseball. Baseball also needs a salary cap, badly.
    I usually only go to one or two games a year. I used to go all the time. Ticket prices are out of control. Since I only go once or twice a year, I take my son and we sit up in the State Street Pavilion behind the plate. All you can eat buffet, and a waitress/waiter at the seats. It’s outrageously expensive, but for 1-2 games a year, I don’t worry about the cost.
    Back in the early 90’s a buch of us would go at least 2 times a week. Tickets behind the dug out in the lower box seats were $20. You could pick one up off the street for less than face value after the game started. Of course they really stunk and Butch Hobson was the manager.

    1. I will go into the Wednesday 2 pm game. Park on the street – 2 hr parking- during the 2d inning. Buy standing room and stand high behind home plate, leave in the sixth, and head home. Do this about 2 or 3 times a year. That is how few afternoon mid-week games there are.
      I agree with you– the cost is ridiculous, so this is my routine.
      Of course when my sons were younger I broke the bank.

    2. Baseball is a fading sport, it’s nothing like football. I’m not even sure if it’s my opinion anymore. Everywhere I travel NYC Dallas, Miami, even London in March, and even Antigua. I mention New England or Boston, BRADY AND BELLICHECK AND THE PATRIOTS are what comes up. It’s curazy!!! 🙂

      1. The other thing with baseball especially in playoffs if your teams out of it people usually don’t watch where football even if your team is out of the playoffs people still watch. I watch the playoffs for all four sports NFL NBA NHL MLB whether my teams in it or not.

        1. Baseball has become very localized or regional,,, as football is national, and even world-wide in instances.

          1. I agree. Baseball to me is big in St. Louis, New York and Los Angeles. Those are the three cities to me that come to mind where baseball is big.

  16. I think way too much money for David Price a guy who does not have a good record in the postseason should not be getting 7 yrs 217 million. So far in this young season he is over 6 era. Certainly not a number for who is suppose to be the ace of the staff.
