I’m a little late on my end with this posting but man the turbulence coming in to providence airport early tues morning was just something else. We were already coming off a nearly 6 hour delay and wondering if we would even get home and that front meant business, just before landing. That sudden sinking feeling always sends shivers down my spine lol. Back to our chilly and windy reality for a while..heck of a time though seeing my crazy fam!

Yeah, it’s very nice. First time visiting this area. It’s such a more relaxed pace from the hustle of the north. I’m just visiting family but casually looking at some small places and accommodations on the side. It’s def something I’m considering in the near future. The weather has been just incredible these last few days.

Tropical downpours coming down good right now. Now I know why there’s been so many frogs hopping around this evening!

Sending good vibes and torches to the homies back home. Let’s keep that southerly flow going!

Just a wee bit chillly out there today with a high chance of napage! Seriously, might have to consider moving down here lol. The weather has been just insanely nice.

Just landed in Wilmington this afternoon and it felt absolutely incredible the rest of the day. It hit 72 and I immediately threw off my sweatshirt and pants and went right back to late summer mode. Wouldn’t mind staying a couple solid weeks in this weather but I’m just paying a quick visit to some extended family atm. Apparently there’s a big frog infestation in the area I’m in which is hard to fathom after days of struggling to make it out of the 40s back home lol.

Just finished with the first phase of leaf suck up. Man, those stacks were incredibly thick. Usually we don’t start getting this many piling up until the second pass but this years a different animal. I think all these wind driven rain events lately combined with a pretty dry summer are playing a role.

Going down to North Carolina later this week to visit some family. It’s probably gonna feel like a heatwave compared to what we’re dealing with right now. Maybe we can catch the early phases of a forming coastal low if I’m lucky lol.

That plus a major blowdown from hurricane force winds. (Ala 2021) We got enough leaves to worry about cleaning up in the coming weeks..we don’t need to add insult to injury! Good to see some solid moisture coming down too after general cloudiness and gloominess the last couple days.

I know a Melissa or two in the past I wouldn’t mind having flung back at me!

We pour!

On a more exciting note, those winds are whipping today ahead of the line. The birdies are going wild at the feeders..they always know!

Ah the season of almost constant wind and the seemingly never ending buzz of leaf blowers is now underway..thank the good lord for sound dampening windows

Heavy drizzle and light rain still coming down. Probably getting close to 5” at this point. The persistence of these bands right along the shore has been just remarkable. As others have already noted, we’d probably be swimming in piles of powder if this were a mid winter event. Def one to remember for many!

This line over us just doesn’t want to give up..it’s like one of those LES squalls over Buffalo in mid Jan! We must be over 4.5” easily by now.
