That video isn’t from this year. I think it was actually on the Corrotoman River on July 4th, 2022.

Twitter feeds some of these folks to me too (I assume algorithmic engagement bait doing its thing), but yeah, agree that most of them are hobbyists. That said it's not totally hopeless if the forcing moves far enough east to sneak in some stuff late in the season. And we're kind of in a n=1 space if it comes to say, the warm pool making it to 120W (instead of 160-140W, heck it's *already* at 160).

have yet to water the lawn this spring/summer

I guess this is good for the lawn fert.

Into RI and the Cape. Today they ride he outflow from earlier convection. Stein exhaust here.

Yep - I've had less than 3" of rain since June. This map is typical it seems for the past 6 weeks or so:

I’m not sure it can get any greener

I’m 10000% ready for fall

That's a problematic looking rain train from from Providence down to Old Saybrook.

grass will be more green after this

Everything is green...including the crickets in my basement. Could do without them honestly.

Every scout in water . Ginx there ?

double-digit amounts?

Classic El Niño summer. Everything is lush and green.

Have a friend in Old Lyme who is at 3.50 inches with plenty more to come it looks like.

Radar looks like a benchmark snowstorm.

Don’t laugh, I drive by there all the time on Rt 138; was gonna take a pic to post. Deluge currently in n Cranston

I hear the train a-comin, it's rollin' round the bend. Yikes, it's been a deluge at and near the mouth of the CT River.

Southern CT year. Big snows. Big rains.

South coast summer

Wouldn't be shocked if some of us in the interior west of the heavy rain axis pick up like .5 to 1.5" in afternoon convection.

Squall line west of albany looks promising

Hope we can see some clearing / sun after this line of storms /rain moves through.
