  1. I was surprised by that. I wouldn't be surprised to see the 18z NAM and GFS go crazy. 18z is when they both have been drinking for a few hours already and it manifests in massive QPF outputs (especially during winter storms).
  2. In terms of Tropical Storms in my lifetime (31 years) Floyd and Bertha were the only ones I remember by name. Floyd was interesting and got us two days out of school. Bertha because of the first tornado warnings in RI I remember. This one could be interesting but definitely not the rain totals of Floyd.
  3. And Vermonters at MRG just hate everyone lol I think some if it can be justified due to some problematic characters (e.g., swimming in quarries this summer, empty Bud Lite bottles thrown off chairlifts, etc.). I have the same knee-jerk reaction coming from RI when so many folks at URI and the beaches are not from RI. I completely agree with the quarantine policy though and would adhere to it.
  4. Yes, very nice. Luckily a western wind so might be able to hit the Quabbin today. Yesterday with a straight south wind around 10mph there were 2-3' rollers. Not fun in an under-powered 16' boat.
  5. At this point I'm not even sure we will be buying passes this year given VT's quarantine guidelines. I have several ski friends were stopped by country sheriffs in southern VT and questioned (even after quarantining) since they had out of state plates. Hopefully the Berks get some decent snow for back country adventures.
  6. Almost a half inch now the sun is out. Let's get things going.
  7. It's been so warm a couple nights in low 60s all the fish think it's September and have moved shallow. Caught a big rainbow in about 15' then a 5+ smallie I sight-fished in about 8' of water.
  8. I love hockey. Love the Bruins. Played hockey all my life. Planned to watch it start to finish and stocked up on junk food and whiskey. Last about 10 minutes. Just seems weird, idk.
  9. Let's just be conservative and assume 1938 mixed with Hurricane Rhody track and adjust up if needed.
  10. I'll buy in when we get inside 72 hours. Euro still has this thing 5-6 days away.
  11. Yup, had the baby with me, she was napping in the tent. Woke her up and headed back in. BTW, had 88-89* water at Metacomet a couple days ago. Damn swampy jacuzzi.
  12. The Quabbin was 81-82* today. Pretty impressive. I dont think I saw 78/79 last year.
  13. Part of me thinks we have seen models bring a hurricane up the coast 4-5 days out several times, other part says it is 2020 and anything can happen.
  14. Just look back on radar and it looked decent. Had a lot of water in the boat.
  15. 81/65. Temperature dropped 7 degrees in the past hour thanks to a tiny burst of rain.
  16. Almost dropped into the 50s, 60.9 now and very nice with windows open and the fan going. A great morning for throwing some topwater baits.
  17. Average summer day. Partly cloudy, 84/69. Glad we live here.
  18. It's within 7 days so Wiz should be making a thread soon. Can definitely see a cooler August coming. Not starting the woodstove like 2 years ago. We were at a friend's near Magic Mountain at 2000' and had a couple days in a row where mornings were in the low 40s and highs never touched 65.
  19. Two years ago we had an amazing week of storms. Think we had 3-4 straight days of severe warnings. This memory popped up on my FB feed.
  20. Sitting on the porch with a fan on, writing and grading papers, drinking iced tea. Awesome summer day. 95/73
  21. North of pike into southern NH/VT looking best.
