    Have not lost power other than a couple of blinks, lightning intensity is picking up as it heads towards my northeast, rain and wind have settled down now.
  2. radiator
    Yeah, that's right over me...
  3. radiator
    Maybe it was just 'warned'

    Yikes - heavy wind gusts, maybe pings from small hail, heavy heavy rain here Washington Depot next to Morris

    Nice burst of wind as the line just hit here. Lightning is kind of meh.

    Popup thunderstorm is thundering here. Nice. Thunderous, too.

    I considered putting a tarp over all of tomato and veggie seedlings overnight, but considering that I just paid $200 for them (because I didn’t get my seed starting done back in February) I decided not to take the chance. Average last frost date here is May 10 but we’re a week past that - grass came out and grew much faster than normal, usually can get by without mowing the lawn for the first time until nearly June, so I got lulled into complacency by that - but I guess nobody told Mother Nature…

    Gonna hafta bring the ‘mater seedlings indoors to prevent them from freezing overnite…

    I can hardly wait... Maybe I can finally set up an outdoor weather station before then (but maybe not - lots of other items on my massive to-do list are competing for my attention).

    Steep gradient in this general area - you're not all that far from me (in Washington Depot) but even at 750' elevation only have a few inches (eyeballing it as less than 4) - go a little bit north from here and the totals increase dramatically (and so do the power outages).

    The Eversource outage map numbers are still relatively modest, but the pattern and clustering is interesting even as it is about as expected (following the heavy snow so far, on a diagonal from CT NW hills thru W MA into S NH). https://outagemap.eversource.com/external/default.html

    The image in the post by ROOSTA (8 posts above yours) shows a yellow cross identifying the location of a lightning strike) that would appear to be in the general area of Winsted, if I'm not mistaken.

    In West Hartford now - got the lightning warning on my phone app but did not actually experience it. The night is young, though...

    I'm thinking that you intended to write "Friday evening" instead of "Saturday evening" here:

    I guess that I will enjoy this - although I'd prefer that the bulk of the accumulation happen when it's not dark outside, who am I to complain? (BTW, looking at the wild 'derecho' warnings going on right now in OK - wow...)

    It is here (in Washington Depot, mid-Litchfield County). Lots and lots of snowflakes falling here now.
  18. radiator
    Guess that there are a bunch of us in or near ‘the Litchfield Hills’. Maybe had a tad more snow here yesterday than Canton/Simsbury since my elevation is a bit over 700 feet. Looking forward to some more Wednesday.

    I’m kind of enjoying the January thunder, though…

    Wind has started to sound like a freight train - lost power for a minute but it came back. The Eversource outage map and reported numbers are still smallish (about 4,000 statewide), but that is double what it was less than an hour ago. (Checked again and it climbed to over 6,000 - and based on the radar overlay even bigger winds are on their way now.)

    So, what, if anything, does this portend for possible thunderstorm activity on Friday? It seems that earlier it was hinted at as a strong possibility, but now, not so much.
  22. radiator
    While my preference is for Japanese, I’ve had some decent dim sum in the past, so I won’t knock it. Snow is sticking to the grass here - need a bit more time and intensity to fully cover the road, but no doubt it’s on the way.
  23. radiator
    And… there’s thunder…
  24. radiator
    Ominous blue sky and sunshine here. Oh, wait...
  25. radiator
    When the bulk of it passed through here (Washington Depot, central Litchfield County in western CT) there was a period of heavy rain, lots of lightning stikes shown on the lightningmaps.org map, but only one near enough to shake the house, brief power fluctuation, but not much in the way of wind. Still raining, but the edge of the rain is approaching quickly (according to the radar).
