Day 100 of my ski season yesterday at Killington. Temp was nice, skiing was good for a couple runs then in got a little crazy with crowds. No snirt but definitely some rocks and ice. Still better than not skiing and always fun to get out in May. We bookended the morning with Friday evening ride at Mount Peg and Saturday afternoon ride at Ascutney. I’ve heard it’s really good up high but I think it’s time to be done! .

Moderate to heavy rainfall tonight.

Look out @wncsnowthis band coming through Old Fort means business. Probably my heaviest rates so far

I actually think there worse than last year and will end up with a worse record. Their run Differential is atrocious. Probably time for another rebuild Lol

0.65” the last 24 hours 3.90” this month

“Southern Oscillation Index is the most negative it has been with the current #ElNiño event. The subsurface warmth will continue to surface taking the SOI even more negative in time. This is the ocean/atmospheric coupling that is necessary. This is why it was important to recognize that El Niño impacts (not equal or the same everywhere) were going to occur much sooner than the "fall/winter narrative"

We do need the rain witb potential Steiner summer headed in...take

And then in game 2, everyone sucks again and we flounder the entire game. Team is terrible

Just a hair over 3" here since Thursday afternoon. Looking at the radar another round is going to build in over the next few hours. Friendly reminder, if anyone is building a house and using a plastic septic tank, please fill with water before any heavy rain moves in. My new neighbor found out the hard way yesterday and his tank basically floated out of the ground and snapped all the plumbing going into it.

If I can get .75” I’ll be happy.

Hes right though, definitely could have been worse. .66 here was way more than it was looking like this morning. Decent drink

Food for thought is that this nino isn't really coupling well to real time observations in South America. A typical nino response down there is for lots and lots of precip in the central andes in Chile. So far bone dry and anomalously warm for may there, especially in a burgeoning strong nino.

Juiced radar pointed right at you two.

Look like a strong El Nino pattern we'd see in winter, except it's still not El Nino yet!

"You heard it here first!"

Like how bad it got in the summer of 2016? An extreme drought area showed up in MA! OMG, the world ended! The Quabbin is 84% capacity now. It got as low as 79% in Dec 2016. Clickbait post.

A historic May heatwave is scorching parts of Europe, including the UK, France, Germany, Italy, and Spain. Today, France saw 105 stations set new monthly records with 25 of those stations setting monthly records that had been set on Friday or yesterday. Tomorrow and Tuesday will likely be hotter. The UKs national May temperature record could be challenged or broken tomorrow and again on Tuesday. The extreme heat has been made more likely by climate change. Europe is currently experiencing a rate of warming that is twice the rate of the global average. From Climate Central's Climate Shift Index:

Meh still Steiny.

What else can we do but laugh at this. This very similar to that snowstorm in Feb when we got dry slotted so bad here. We got 7 days to go in the month but nothing looks like a game changer fore the piedmont region through the end of the month

The idea of finishing this period with <1” seemed laughable based on modeling but it’s quickly becoming reality. As is were under half the normal amount for the month

Done with this crap. Bring it on. Looks ideal.

For the day so far and likely to be the same for the rest of today 0.00" here. Got a small batch of rain south of Burlington, NC but thats about it for the day that is anywhere close enough to the triangle. Starting to look drier and drier the next few days too. Just pop up T storms wherever they decide to form tomorrow.

this sucks. my garden is struggling a bit with the cold following the brutal heat. as for saltwater fishing. forget it. water is frigid even when you can manage a rare calm day. today for my walk i broke out the lined hiking pants again.
