CT Valley Snowman

I'm not a big fisherman, but I did cast a line out from the dock most days and caught mainly pumpkin seeds and dace using crawlers. My wife and father-in-law like to fish more, they grabbed some largemouth in the 15 to 19 inch range, I believe using lures or some type of fake worm looking bait that they squeeze garlic / lemon flavored attractant that turns them bright green. You're right about the weather, there was probably 3 days that were sunny and warm and what I would consider classic lake days. Filled in the gaps with a trip to Tumbledown Mountain, Mosher Falls in Farmington, visited family staying at a cabin at Lake Androscoggin in Leeds, play disc golf in Belgrade and regular golf at Spring Brook Country Club in Leeds, hiked a couple trails in the Kennebec Highlands, and made a trip down to Freeport.

Just got back from 10 days in Maine, yard looks like the Amazon, greener than I've ever seen it. PWS in the neighborhood is at 12.25 for the month. Only a few days with measurable rain up in Mount Vernon Maine at the cabin and only one day I would consider a washout last Friday.

Nearby PWS is reporting about 9.6 for the month. Thankfully I've been in Maine since July 7, only 1 wet day up here so far last Friday and yesterday turned surprisingly sunny in the PM.

Yesterday was pretty good here. Large limb down on my neighbors shed, Tree on a house about 1/2 mile away, intense lightning and solid wind, enough to produce some scattered damage. Rainfall has been sick this month.

Wife reporting power has been in and out in Enfield as well as some Street flooding

Hoping this POS rain band back this way doesn't kill our fireworks plans.

I'm getting the sense here that a few been throwing down some adult beverages

Yep and I live in Sherwood Manor, a bit west of the jackpot, some roads are flooded out my wife couldn't get to the bank earlier.

Complete washout today probably 3"+ here and 4" a few miles further southeast.

Yes sir probably a solid 2 inches of rain here today.

Suburban residential area where I live has numerous rabbits, I see them often in the morning and evening. Our cats sometimes do a number on them. I found one decapitated a couple weeks ago with the head and blood under my patio table and the rest about 30 feet away and found the matching blood on one of my cats, guilty as ever.

Pretty nice drink two days in a row here, probably close to 2". Yours is coming.

Lol.

Down to 88 here with a northwest wind I believe we're going to get the shaft, south side of town is still 95-96.

Outflow cooled here already

He's out in Heath with friends. He should have an interesting ride home.

I was in that storm but about 1.5 mi south of the core , it was pretty intense and you could tell just to the north they were getting rocked.

Pretty good storm locally, fairly gusty, a few trees down a mile or so north of here, extremely close lightning strikes, a bit of hail. Lost power a couple of times briefly.

Pretty stormy around here right now.

Two pretty reliable PWS stations near me in Enfield are reporting 98

94/73.

96 here for a high and at CEF. 98 at BAF

PDX 109

Not sure yet but BAF and CEF both have.
