    That was the stroke rate reported by lightningmaps.org (using the blitzortung.org detection network) for the storm over northern NJ at one point yesterday when the storm was extremely active. It was not claimed to have been witnessed by eye by a human observer on the ground.

    The lightningmaps.org map was displaying rates in excess of 400 strikes per minute in that New Jersey storm - wow...

    I wondered who was responsible for that blob on the radar that was mostly raining in-place Seems like it may have a slow northward drift but I doubt that I’ll see it here (at least not anytime soon)…

    Surprised by a lightning app alert - from eastern NY Seems to be intense there - but not quite sure that it will come anywhere near here

    It’s only a few towns away from me but I didn’t even know it was there. I have a sister who is an accordion enthusiast (and player). I wonder whether she even knows about that place. Thanks for posting about it…

    I 'seent' it... Nice, but can't unsee it.

    Where might be a good vantage point in Danbury for viewing incoming storms? Near the mall? Or the corporate park area on the hill to the east of the mall? Or Danbury Airport? Or?

    At least in Washington Depot (Litchfield County CT) it looks a whole lot more impressive on the radar and the lightning map than it does in reality.

    Just saw that warning - it’s only a few towns away from here (Washington Depot) - when the most intense part of the storm went thru here a few minutes ago it was kinda ‘meh’ - maybe a few miles and local terrain makes a big difference.

    Is that photo using HDR? It has that 'HDR feel' to it... I like it... I haven't been to Mohawk Mountain since maybe 2017 or 2018 but I think that I know exactly where you took the photo from...

    Thunder and rain just to the west of me... Caught me by surprise...

    I always look forward to your heads-up threads about upcoming potential severe WX. Whether or not they actually materialize, a guy can always hope, can't he?

    Strange to be hearing pinging here - surprised…

    Mayday mayday mayday… Um, well, not really an emergency, never mind…

    The lightning map shows strikes just now appearing in the extreme northwest corner of CT.

    Not exactly the traditional pattern for a haiku, but: When there is the chance for convection Clearing through the mornings Equals afternoon severe thunderstorm warnings

    Nobody told me there would be thunder. (Well, there's not very much of it, and it's not particularly loud, either.) Still, pleasantly surprised.
  19. radiator
    I haven’t heard any thunder yet but it sure looks like the lightning strikes are headed in this direction… OK - spoke too soon - first thunder heard… Pretty tame - is that all there is, or will there be a second act? (he wondered, wonderingly)

    Yep, also flipped to snow in Washington Depot (Litchfield County).
  21. radiator
    Currently 39 degrees and rain in southern Litchfield County (Washington Depot) - but the snow is tantalizingly close and seems to be inching towards my direction.
  22. radiator
    And, as expected, just as quickly the rain has tapered off to nothing, with the wind roaring in its wake…
  23. radiator
    And the line hits here (Litchfield County) - furiously pouring rain, windy, but no thunder (yet, anyway)…
  24. radiator
    @Spanks45 by any chance is that 6 mil plastic UV-resistant greenhouse film? How much snow load is “too much” for that? Is the poly film the weak point or is it the hoop strength? Or does it mainly depend on the hoop spacing?
  25. radiator
    Well, that was different… NWS Emergency Alert on my phone with snow squall warning, about five minutes after it ended here and the sun started poking thru the clouds. (I doubt that they really know my actual location)
