Got .78 overnight. Badly needed.

There were stragglers of that Brood emerging I believe, 4 years prior, which would have made them 13 year cicadas. Maybe that's how the 13 year broods evolved. Still no summer cicada songs on this super muggy noontime near the D&R Canal. DP 72, temp near 90. RIP Rachel Carson - we may need someone to document Silent Summer. At least the nighttime katydids made it.

Maybe being that this was a Brood X year has something to do with it? At any rate, I miss their noise on these hot days. Edit: Oops - my bad - Brood X was last year! My memory is slipping. At any rate, next week won't be as hot. Let's see if the cicadas recover.

Same here. In the early evening, I see newly emerged nymphs crawling around, but no songs in the trees by daytime. Glad I'm not the only one to notice. OTOH, I have been hearing Katydids doing their thing.

Another 0.2 inches overnight.

Got about 0.2 inches. The big warm drops of Summer.

I saw an emerged nymph shell on my outdoors mailbox stand two days ago, but have not heard any. No doubt that one was an early tasty meal for some passing bird. At least we got about .55 inches of needed rain yesterday morning. Here in W Windsor near the D & R Canal.

Surprising (to me) passing sunset shower, just enough to wet the deck with big drops. Someone farther east will get more. Happy end of June.

Some thunder is of very short duration. Like cannon shots. CC or CG? Not sure.

Was in area north of Ewing NJ today, when a picnic was interrupted by small hail. Later, a torrential downpour occurred in Ewing itself from the same popup. No thunder heard. Was dry up here where I live, in W Windsor/Princeton.

The "Early Morning Rain" gave me abut .7", which was more than predicted. In West Windsor, NJ.

Thanks, Agnes! It was quite intense, and lasted for more than a few minutes. The hail may have been mixed with something else: graupel perhaps - Was glad to drive out of it into nice plain rain en route to New Brunswick.

Yesterday, just after 4 PM, I was bombarded by an intense hailstorm. I was driving north from Princeton NJ, on Route 27. Noisy banging on my windshield, at least pea sized hail. Some lightning, but did not hear thunder.

Got to watch it happen, rather than having it all happen in the dark. Only got an inch or so, but glad we got some real snow for March. Looking forward to 60's real soon.

Nice. To me, it doesn't really count unless it sticks in the streets.

A tail-end hint of something on a nearby spruce tree. Nothing else, even on car windshields.

Nice picture. Down here in W Windsor NJ, it was nice to see flakes fly, but NADA, as far as any snow sticking. Not even on the trees. Enjoy your pittance, up there, since it's more than most of us got, I'll warrant.

Sorry to clutter the thread up with another comment, but you are one reason why I read this forum. At 85, I am still learning. BTW, to add to the mess, I am waiting for you to start the thread on next weekend's chances.

Might as well post this here too since Philly is mentioned. From 1972 until the end of 2003 I was on the West Coast, so don't have a good memory of the great storms I missed, obviously. The first one I remember since moving back is a nice Miller B(?) in Jan 2005. But there was a great storm in November 1950, and all we got in Jersey City was rain and no power. "The Great Appalachian Blizzard". Other storms behaved similarly, like one I remember in November 1953, where we got an inch of snow before it changed, but Philly got maybe 7". These storms cut too, although the synoptics may have differed. All of these storms have meteorological interest, regardless of how much snow they produce. - As long as I can get to the dentist on Tuesday.

Better all rain or a washout, than a slop fest that freezes. IMO.

Happy Birthday, Alice. From one who doesn't post much but who often gets hit by the Summer fronts at the same time!. Lurking just to your Northeast. May you have a long wait before you start creaking like me.

Latest Mt Holly suggests that Forky may be in the right direction on this storm.

Shows on Wunderground, but not in reality. A little white stuff would be nice for a change. I am at Princeton/W Windsor boundary.

Good to see. Here just across the canal from Princeton, nada, although Wunderground is showing snow. Just a little white stuff would be nice.
