Was well worth the trip I assure you! Was spectacular!

No traffic at all on way up in the middle of the night.

Newport, Vermont. Stellar day. Totally clear and deep blue skies. Walmart parking lot. Lots of spectators. Campers.

Leaving for Newport, VT shortly. Up 91. Will have time to sleep in the car in the morning. Likely will get room MA or CT for return trip. Rooms at very reasonable rates available.

Hope my plan to leave at midnight was a wise move.

Pretty much the same plan here. May wait to leave until Monday evening or Monday night. Might get hotel MA or CT on way home depending on how things go. No way was going to pay those hotel rates either. Suspect will be taking a nap or two in the car before and after the eclipse.

Agree on the hard sell of 3 days of rain but still looks like another widespread 1-2" rainfall event. Perhaps 3" Lower Hudson Valley. Lots of rainfall last few months.

So sorry for your loss.

Shooting for in or around BTV as of now.

4.0 is a legit quake in its own right around here. Would be a news story even without the 4.8 this morning.

Another one now! House shaking notably!

Same here. Pretty intense. Light fixtures were swinging and dishes were rattling. When it was over almost all the pictures in the house were noticeably crooked. It all started with a loud sonic boom type of a sound.

Was legit scary as someone just posted. Imagine if it happened in the middle of the night.

Never felt one like that before. Pictures are crooked on the wall, light fixtures were swaying and dishes in the display cabinet were jiggling. Loud boom proceeded the shaking. I thought for a second it was Picatinny but quickly realized it was a quake. Was quite long one as quakes go around here.

Over 3" rainfall from event. Just waiting for the gauge to thaw to confirm total. Measured .3" snow depth at 8am. May have been more than that in the predawn hours but .3" is all I can confirm. I suspect it may have been as much as .5 - .8" earlier in the morning. Gradually melting now as temperature climbing to near 40 at this hour. More measurable snow for me in April than March. March only a Trace. Updated: Event total melted precipitation = 3.28".

Never got out of the 30's here today. Briefly hit 39 and has been hovering between 36 and 37 all afternoon. Still periods of heavy rain at time and winds still ripping.

Still moderate rain here. Temp is down from 39 earlier to 37. Event total now up to 2.12".

Two day event total here is 1.86". Periods of rain ongoing. Cold and windy as well. Temperature was 37 at 7:30 a.m. and is only 39 currently. Ground is sodden again.

So sorry. I know the feeling well.

You might be fine. I'm only leaving extra early because have no idea what traffic will be like. Hoping most get in place by Sunday night and traffic is ok on Monday morning. Bigger concern is everyone leaving once it it done. That's why thinking of getting a room Monday night and coming home early Tuesday.

Still moderate to heavy rain here.

Plan on leaving Jersey early (5:00, maybe 4:00) Monday morning. Tentative destination Batavia, NY but will adjust along the way depending on any cloud coverage or arriving clouds. Thinking of getting room Monday night to avoid the crowds heading back.

Moderate to heavy rain here currently and 42 degrees. Pretty nasty out.

Results pretty much the same but this system is nothing like what was modeled 4-6 days ago. Only real difference in sensible weather will be much less wind and coastal effects around here. Significant rainfall and coastal effects (minor to some moderate beach erosion and tidal flooding) from onshore flow will still occur albeit on a lesser scale that what was originally modeled. Yet another 4-6 day long range fail. I'm not suggesting a "snow fail" as that was never really in the cards for this sub forum. More of a very deep, slow moving coastal low fail.

Nice snow cover from western NY into CNE/NNE.
