it's raining

Did your neighbor get his acorns cleaned up before the naw'easter arrived?

Ouch. Looks like you were just a little too far north and east. 0.83 + 2.45 = 3.28" event total

There is a reason why 2023 had MC forcing despite having record anomalies in region 4.....warm pool was in the west Pac. This year, record anomalies are over eastern ENSO, but the warm pool is in the western half of ENSO. Look at where the seasonal models place the forcing...no shock.

Put your rain pants on and sneak around yards

1982 was very east-based early in the season, as well. The forecast is more east-based in terms of SSTs mid-season, but I don't know how much that will matter given the warm pool in the central Pacific. A large reason why 1997 was better early and 1982 was better later was the stratosphere.

My guess on Friday before this got going was just under 2" in total here, but I should sneak just over that.

1.43” since it began

0.58" Pretty infuriating given models had 2-3", but where then revised to 1-2", so likely won't even hit 1". not going to do much.

Plenty of missing data before 2000 at MPO including no observations at all from the record 93-94 winter in NEPA. The column on the right is total number of missing days for each year. Notice how this recent period since 2000 is the most complete. But since there is no contract snowfall observer at MPO, we have to look to the surrounding areas volunteer snowfall observations. The observations prior to 1960 may have been at a different altitude than the airport due to where the coop observers in the area lived.

Lost power here early Sunday morning when wind was at its strongest, came back on during the middle of last night. A large tree fell thru the wires and onto a house on my street, everyone is ok. Had 3.21 inches of rain.

What day is that? And can we quote you for credit when we get there?

Fay is one of the longest lasting storms that failed to reach hurricane intensity I can remember. We’re into the 30’s on NHC advisories. If that convection persists there’s a chance it retains storm status today too

^Thanks. Here is this morning’s NOAA weekly update for relative (for those who don’t know, this much better takes into account GW and thus became the official way of measuring by NOAA a good while ago) Nino anomalies for the average of last week compared to the avg for the prior week: this shows 1+2 still at +3.9 and the other 3 having warmed 0.1. Below that are the comparable weeks in 1997 and 1982: 16SEP2026 3.9 3.0 2.1 0.0 23SEP2026 3.9 3.1 2.2 0.1 24SEP1997 3.8 2.7 1.8 0.5 (the most E based prior to 2026) 22SEP1982 1.5 2.1 2.0 0.6 Compared to past years for the same week, 1+2 region’s +3.9 remains at its highest (weekly records back to 1981) for the 2nd week in a row, beating 1997’s +3.8. Next Monday’s release will likely be the 3rd week in a row at its highest. Nino 3’s +3.1 is its 2nd week in a row of being at a high with it easily beating 1997’s +2.7. Nino 3.4’s +2.2 beats 1982’s +2.0 for the warmest for that week and is its 3rd week in a row at a high. Nino 4’s +0.1 is way cooler than the other regions and also is significantly cooler than many years thus showing how much more E based 2026 is vs any other year on record as of late Sept including the prior most E based 1997: 1994 +0.9 1986 +0.8 2019 +0.7 2002 +0.7 2006 +0.6 2004 +0.6 2023 +0.5 1997 +0.5 https://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/data/indices/rel_wksst9120.txt @bluewave@OSUmetstud@40/70 Benchmark

Our biggest ACE producer of the 2026 Atlantic hurricane season to date, Finicky Fidgety Fleeting Fay! At a whopping 3.6 points, and still holding on...

Guess those crazy Euro amounts were not that far off?

The current forecasts have it more east based mid-season than 1982-1983. That one was more full basin than 1997-1998 during the winter. With it becoming most east based late spring into early summer 1983. Which was part of the reason that February 1983 was better than 1998.

I just want to clarify some narratives being played in the forum. If you were inland, like I am in Westchester, this was pretty much nothing but an annoying drizzly sometimes rainy weekend. An under-performer based on what was hyped by an always hysterical populous. As for beaches, and Eastern Long Island, this was NOT a standard nor easter. The beaches on the north shore have devastation that I have only seen one time since 1988…Sandy. A tale of two storms…with the worst aspect being prolonged, days long erosion with strong NE winds

Wow...sharp cut-off around this area over the weekend....I'm not far from MHT at all.

10-11” likely there

I was waiting for another loss in last 2 mins. But an ugly win …. Is still a win.

Btw, the bom forecast for roni 3 was spot on from last month. Like other agencies the roni 4 was a big positive bias fail.

Good, more warm weather before we fall into the abyss. US National Weather Service State College PA Favorites ·2 hours ago · Today will be mostly cloudy with a few showers around this morning. Temperatures trend warmer as we head into the middle of the week, with some parts of Central PA expected to reach 80 degrees by Thursday.
