Stein has returned here...0.20" so far here today, missed inches of rain by 5 miles, now everything heavy is to the NW. It probably is alright though, 8.5" in the first 10 days of the month should keep the groundwater levels high for the foreseeable future

kick the kids out of the pool, right before a lighting strike over the house with the sun out and no rain.....loudest crack of thunder in quite some time too

Sort of reminds me of when I was in college and took 4, 3 week courses at the Marine Science Consortium in Wallops Island VA. One of the courses ran from the end of July through early August, our sleeping arrangements were in the old Navy barracks, no A/C. The mosquitoes were the size of birds and my thermometer would not go lower than 85 at night. I never want to ever experience that again, I can imagine it was close to what the gulf states feel like during the summer....They have since renovated those dorms and added A/C....ha

Started cutting tomato branches with blight. Ten days, 8.5" of rain is never good for tomatoes, glad to see some dryness the next couple of days. Tons of tomatoes on the plants in desperate need of sun and heat....

Some nice sunset pictures from the neighborhood....

Looks like the rains have pushed further SW than forecasted....thankfully

3.7" since midnight yesterday, 7.54" MTD It can stop raining for a bit now, my tomatoes are going to start to rot...

2.19" since midnight, finally a break in the action

Just your normal 9+ inches per hour rate....

lets not....I was impressed with the 2 am storm that dumped almost an inch in 20 minutes, this one is saying hold my beer

Quite the hook on there...

finally a warning with that cell.....

not stop thunder to my west.....lets see if that cell makes it here or falls apart like those almost always do

Starting to show a bit of a twist to it....I am 20 miles to the east of that

Not much here....missed to the north

89.8/75...just finished mowing, a roaster out there!

Finally got some good rains, past 24 hrs, 2.86" with a total of 3.58" over the last couple days. A chilly 58⁰ this morning....

O.72 yesterday....actually getting some nice downpours now, I guess complaining does help from time to time

I am sure it will still be on, rain is scared of Southbury.....

.23 inches here since midnight....there is some sort of force field around this region. I am surrounded by 700 ft hills, 2000+ft mountains, sheesh

A big meh from yesterday/last night, but any rain is better than no rain...0.72"

A whopping 0.09"with that first batch....unreal how the rain just fizzles as it approaches from all angles

A whopping 0.09" yesterday...Stein lives on for now. In a way it is alright though, currently in the middle of having roof/solar/gutters installed. House currently has no gutters, bad timing it looks like, inches of rain and no spouts....

Same boat here, although I have squeezed out 1.85" here....storms to the west/north/east, they either fall apart before they get here or they develop once they hit the CRV. Much better than last year at this time, but come on now...lol
