Snowcrazed71

Well, I'm sorry your not getting your catastrophic wind event ( I myself am not ). However mundane it is for you, it will be welcomed by many for the rain we will get. Don't get me wrong, I love a good storm, but I don't want trees down all over the place around my property or on my house, and I'm sure many will feel the same way. Bring on the rain.... And better yet, let's get this pattern going for the winter so we can bring on the snow!!!

Well, I guess all the posts on having frost everywhere are fake too. A bunch of liars on here.

I agree

That's DIT for ya. Last week he was saying how dry it's going to be for weeks and weeks and weeks through the end of November. Now he's talking about some apocalyptic storm. Poor guy

So... Rainfall for us was .49".

Well we'll know in about 12 hours or so. Maybe I'll be wrong. Maybe I'll be right. Either way, at least we're getting some rain out of it

Please, you were saying that it was going to be .25 for most people...... You were also saying that the storm for the weekend wasn't happening. This is showing anywhere from .4 to over an inch for everyone.... Which is what we were saying for the last few days

I would normally agree with you, but we've had so many great weekends for so long now, and we're in dire need of rain that I'll gladly take the rain even on a weekend ( but it will suck if someone has something planned for Sunday especially ). Not a done deal yet though, we still have the week to go to see where the chips fall for possible storm.

Seems to be very good consensus that we're getting a half inch to 1 inch of rain statewide on Wednesday. The other thing to note is there. There is a possible system for Sunday that could have tropical elements to it. Still a ways out so that can change, but if it comes up, they're saying there's a possibility that it stalls. Plus though maybe some win with that as well. That we need to keep a close eye on

Hae you and TT ever seen Bozo the clown?

I guess we'll just have to wait and see. Of course, my hope is for the rain.

Not a couple of showers. The Euro shows a half inch to 1 in and the GFS shows about an inch. We need the rain desperately and that's welcomed precipitation.

You might be in that lucky 90° spot tomorrow.

Hey.... Which day were we hitting 90 again?

ICON..... More like I'CANT!

So after next Wednesday temperatures are going to drop into the low 60s. They may may get into the mid-60s here and there after that, which is a average for this time of the year, but I don't see above normal temperatures heading into The latter part of the month.

Along with those 90° temps we're getting over the weekend. Grab your hose

I couldn't agree more. He has the same exact words that he uses. He hypes things up so much that I just shake my head. It's nuts how much he believes what he's saying, and what's worse, he has a lot of followers and subscribers I totally believe what's coming out of his mouth. Pure bull crap.

I agree. But the similarities are there for a much better winter. Just looked at how October of 1995 ended up finishing in regards to precipitation and temperature ( And yes, I am aware we're just starting October on Wednesday ), but already, we have some similarities setting up for the start of this month with temperatures in the '80s starting this coming weekend into early next week. Here's a small write-up on October 1995 in Connecticut ( And I reiterate, I'm not saying we're going to have a record 2025-2026 season as far as snowfall goes here in Connecticut ), But I like the direction we're going in. In October 1995, Connecticut's precipitation totaled 9.35 inches, and while the average temperature for the month isn't specified, the data from the National Weather Service indicates temperatures were above normal, with daily highs often exceeding 70°F. Precipitation Connecticut's total precipitation for October 1995 was 9.35 inches. Temperature Monthly temperatures for October 1995 were warmer than average, with airport observations showing departures of +2°F or more. High temperatures of 80°F or higher were recorded on several days during the first half of the month. Temperatures mainly cooled into the 60s during the latter half of October.

So... There were similarities from the Summer of 1995 to this past Summer of 2025 ( although there was was a very small area of Tolland and Windham county that experienced above normal precipitation in July ). And we all know what happened in the winter of 1995/1996.... I'm not saying that's going to happen this winter, but, there were similarities ( During the summer of 2025 (June–August), Bridgeport, Connecticut, had its driest summer on record since 1948. The city recorded only 3.85 inches of rain during the entire season, surpassing the previous record of 4.13 inches set in 1995 ) During the summer of 1995, the Northeast experienced a severe drought and a notable heat wave in July, with August being especially dry. Overall, the season was significantly drier and warmer than normal, though regional variations occurred. Temperature A major heat wave in July was the most defining temperature event of the summer. Regional heat wave: Excessive heat and humidity spread into the northeastern United States by mid-July, after affecting the Great Plains and Midwest. Peak heat: The heat peaked around July 14, with temperatures in the 95–100°F range for some areas. The combination of heat and high humidity led to exceptionally high heat indices, exceeding 115°F in some locations. Persistent high temperatures: Some parts of the region experienced stretches of temperatures at or above 90°F during both June and August, in addition to the July heat wave. For example, locations from Philadelphia to Richmond saw 90+°F temperatures on 40 to 44 days during the summer. Above-normal averages: The average temperature for the summer was above normal for many areas, though not always drastically so. For instance, the Hartford, Connecticut, area had an average temperature of 72.2°F, which was just 0.3°F above normal. Precipitation A persistent and expanding drought was the key precipitation story of the summer, with August being exceptionally dry. Overall precipitation: The Northeast received 9.94 inches of precipitation, which was only 78% of the normal amount, making it the 19th-driest summer on record. Record dryness: Drought conditions intensified throughout the season, becoming moderate to severe by August. Many states experienced one of their driest summers or driest Augusts on record. Driest summer: New Hampshire had its driest summer on record, while Vermont had its second-driest. Driest August: Washington, D.C. experienced its driest August since 1871, receiving only 0.20 inches of rain. Vermont also had its driest August on record. Regional impact: The drought's intensity varied. For example, Bridgeport, Connecticut, recorded its driest summer on record with just 4.13 inches of rain. However, the nearby Hartford area was closer to normal for the season. August rainfall deficits: August precipitation was particularly low across the region, with significant rainfall deficits reported in nearly all states.

Ok. What was I thinking. I should have realized how right you are.

No, it didn't. There was a small swath up in that area that did get a heavy amount of rain. But a 5 mi swath in the entire state of Connecticut does not make the northern part of Connecticut way above normal. BEER??

I beg to differ... We are not above normal for rainfall in northern CT ( maybe a localized area ). I looked up the departure from normal for Hartford, CT and there was a 2.17" deficit for the two months period of June and July. Bradley was very similar. So, you may need to look again.

Actually, the summer in Connecticut for the northern half of the state was just near normal, where the southern half of the state has been well below normal precipitation wise. So that's not a good correlation to why we're getting early color. Maybe it's just because it's been a more on the dry side?

Lol .. oh I've been on here a long long time. I'm just busting his chops. Sometimes Kev just throws shyte out that makes no sense.
