Was surprised to see this as well. Will be going down the rabbit-hole reading about ET transitions this morning.

Seeing a couple WU stations west of you reporting 4.5"+. You'll be there soon.

Winds really picking up. Neighbors will be calling a tree service. There is an 80' dead oak that snapped about 30' up and the remainder is resting on another tree. It rolls off and about 20' of it is on their roof.

Flooding and uprooting incoming.

Even farther north in Maine, the snowstorm's effects remained disastrous; following its passage, a 60 acres (240,000 m2) timber lot at Thomaston was nearly entirely uprooted, clearing a massive forested area and making towns from great distances away, previously obstructed, suddenly visible.[19] The effect of the storm was so pronounced that, according to Sidney Perley, "people felt as if they were in a strange place".[27] The storm was particularly severe on the Atlantic coast, especially in Kennebec, Wiscaset, Berwick, Kittery, and York, causing moderate destruction and killing several cattle. However, at Portland, the hurricane was less severe and its impact was minimal.[2]

The social media hype train is running so fast by tomorrow night it will be another Snowicane of 1804.

Henri is making the "prom night promise".

If seals can get up the CT River to Holyoke, so can surge lol https://www.westernmassnews.com/news/seal-sighted-along-connecticut-river-in-holyoke/article_bbe401f6-7dbd-11e9-9fcb-f7f5bdf558aa.html

Someone needs to sacrifice a chicken. Is Kevin Costner hammered for this "Field of Dreams" game interview? Doesn't sound right.

Never seen clouds moving in so fast.

Was hoping you would get it too. Absolutely incredible. Better than the derecho.

Memorable storm to say the least. Definitely came in with a 50+ gust. Watched some kayaks and paddleboards get blown off car tops and docks on the pond. Leaves, limbs, and trees down everywhere. Four trees down in the road on the 5 minute drive home.

Have a 16' "bass boat" for the Quabbin. Complete rebuilt from just the hull. Has a 20hp Mariner and does low 20s. Have dual 7" Garmins and 24v 70lbs Minn Kota with the co-pilot system. If you are looking for a Quabbin boat look for the older 80s hulls, 0* rise and lighter hulls so great in rougher water and quick. I could put a 25hp 4-stroke on for the Q but just love the older two-strokes. I might get it washed again in September to fish the last month of the Q, we'll see. Drop-shotting smallies in 30-50' this time of year gets boring.

If you ever want to head out on one of the lakes in Brim/Brookfield just let me know!

Been having too much fun fishing other ponds lately to head back to the Quabbin (never thought I'd say that). Hit Quaboag again the other day and had about a half dozen largies in the 4 lbs range along with about a dozen others. Forgot how much I missed throwing jigs in heavy grass and winching them out.

I want to see Houck in the pen if they can't keep him in the rotation. No reason to be moving him in and out.

Ouch. At least the temp didn't drop 30 degrees as well!

11 runs in the last 7 games, cold bats. Xander is 4/22 (.181), Devers is 6/26 (.230), JD is 4/21 (.190) and now on the covid list. It was bound to happen and I don't mind it in August as long as they wake up in September. Schwarber will help out. I'm not sure any team will hang with SF/LAD come October though.

Explored Quaboag today. Frog bite was on, had about a dozen, most of which 2-4 lbs. First cast I had a pike in the 15-20lbs range. 7'3 heavy jig rod with 50 lbs. braid, couldn't budge it. Stripped about 80-100' of line off. I had the drag almost cranked, put my thumb on the spool to slow it down and put a good slice in it, popped off in some grass after a 2-3 minute fight. Unreal, thought I was in salt water. I see why people ice fish for them now lol 2-year-old kiddo was very upset about the fish eating "Kermit."

Dews lol. Fall is coming...

"Zombie Deer", it was first confirmed in NY in 2005. There has been no known transmission thus far to humans. That said, I'm skeptical about eating any venison or elk after seeing some Creutzfeldt-Jakob cases in person. Cuts people down in their prime and they can go from full-time professionals to full dementia in months. If anyone wants some wild reading check out "Kuru," in New Guinea it was another prion that was transmitted amongst local tribes due to cannibalism practices.

E-Rod probably begs to differ.

On a similar note, I've been monitoring this for a while given my neuro focus. Prion disease (e.g., CJD, "Mad Cow") clusters popping up in Canadian maritime towns for the past year. Could be due to eating shellfish, deer, or something else. Always fatal and a horrific way to go.
