I see 4.5” at PWS just up the street.

Spots in Wareham are over 4". Seems to be the jackpot.

Rains have been unrelenting. Heavy nonstop. Must be closing in on 4”

2.10 inches storm total so far at my station

At the moment, the nearby PWS are showing event totals showing 5.64".and 5.26. We wet.

Still gusting 40-45.

Yeah lots. Must be over 6” down towards south coast. Gonna be near 4” soon.

Rain?

Hello central Vermont!

Getting slammed

3.65"

Road survived the night, but barely.

Anyway, in other news pseg long island is struggling badly, we'll over 22,000 people without power ruby now with well over 1,000 active individual outages! Looking at tide forecasts, we still have 1 big tide to go it looks like.

Oh your a troll, surprise you're allowed to post here. Yeah roads nearly gone, with photos of it actually happening. Half of fire island is still without power it shows on pseg map, that's a lot for a tiny island, Scanner report from Bronx? Bronx was about death from tree, news article. I'm a first responder i have endless access to information most don't. Yeah early on had not reached 40 mph yet on the north shore, that's just called observational reporting. Before that I was helping look at model runs, analyzing them and relaying what was seen here. You like to complain on here ive noticed about having multiple threads etc. Maybe it be best you just sit back and relax a little and analyze better?

Still only 35 ish though. Euro wind clowns are getting better and better pretty much nailed this.

It's roaring good out there now

That rain is still Inbound from the northeast, DMV! It's not dyin out, it's getting bigger!

Temp down to 41 degrees!

Very gusty at home but noticeably less in leominster but still windy.. people were wild in the stores yesterday hopefully they all stay home today to.make my day easy.. I dread working the day before we get a legit hurricane up here if everyone went nuts just over this but it would be worth it i guess.

Here is a short paper I cam across recently that was eye-opening to me. It shows that it goes beyond just absolute SST values and OHC depth for TC RI. Paper attached. Why Do Eastern North Pacific Hurricanes Intensify More and Faster than Their Western-Counterpart Typhoons with Less Ocean Energy? We show that eastern North Pacific hurricanes reach a given intensity 15% faster on average than western North Pacific typhoons despite having half the available ocean heat content. Eastern North Pacific hurricanes also intensify on average 16% more with a given ocean energy (i.e., air–sea enthalpy flux) than western North Pacific typhoons. As efficient intensifiers, eastern Pacific hurricanes remain small during their intensification period, tend to stay at lower latitudes, and are affected by relatively lower vertical wind shear, a colder troposphere, and a drier boundary layer. Despite a shallower warm upper-ocean layer in the eastern North Pacific, average hurricane-induced sea surface cooling there is only slightly larger than in the western North Pacific due to the opposing influences of stronger density stratification, smaller size, and related wave-interaction effects. In contrast, western North Pacific typhoons encounter a more favorable oceanic environment for development, but several factors cause typhoons to greatly increase their size during intensification, resulting in a slow and inefficient intensification process. The NW Pac has the most widespread high SSTs and high OHC than anywhere else on the globe, yet the ern Pac "beats" it in the TC RI dept! The takeaway I got from an overall perspective, you can't always treat atmospheric phenomena and the system as linear and intuitive. Complex systems do not work that way. Also, the more you learn, the more you realize there is a lot to learn! That is accurate, and a good thing. No matter how long you are in a field and well-versed, there is always more. bams-BAMS-D-21-0131.1.pdf
