Pouring here.  Nearing 1.25" total now.  Temp did drop 7 degrees so far with the rain

.62 overnight. Radar says we make it to a inch this morning 

I was up to .81 before this rain moved in.  Pretty much a guarantee we get over 1" once again.  Had some decent thunder around 8 am.

I was curious if anyone here saw shadow bands just before totality. Some people around us say they did.

Some YouTube videos show these

Happy the freak snow band in that one event got me to pretty much normal at 28.75" for the season and like 22 days of snowcover for the year.  Snow normal, temps even close.  

Mostly cloudy, just in time...smh

Who the heck was keeping records back in the 1700's... prior to the Revolutionary War?...

Can't count those

Pissed I'm in Florida to miss the quake.  Epicenter was like 7 miles from me

We had an insane cell come through last night that must've dropped darn near an inch or more itself!

Need to get my weather station setup at the new house in Monroe.

I'm in Florida, so that was from my station which i can see from my app.  But I saw a cocorahs near me with 3.6" as well.

3.60"

This post reminds me of when I see the Yankees doing bad in the standings and am relieved to see the Redsox doing poorly too.

It reminds me that not every season is a winning season and that there are tons of ups and downs.

No, it's not about there being eclipses in those years, it's about the similarity in the path between 1994 and 2024.

Both are going from Texas to Upstate NY, the percentage of the sun covered is even the same in NYC (89%)

There are most definitely eclipse cycles-- they are called Saros Cycles.

Oh sorry, misunderstood

So I take it these eclipses occur in 30 year cycles?

This is my first solar eclipse memory -- from May 10, 1994.

Does this eclipse path look familiar to anyone?

 

It was supposed to be raining and overcast all day but it stopped raining early and it stayed overcast, but because of the movement of the clouds, the clouds thinned out a little from time to time and it happened just in time for peak eclipse!

Does this eclipse path for May 10, 1994 look familiar to you? And just like I remembered it, it reached peak eclipse here just after 1 PM (1:35 PM to be exact.) Looks like that one was 89% here just like this one will be (with that one you had to travel north to Albany to see annularity and for this one it's Syracuse to see totality.) Is there a 30 year cycle for eclipses?

It's amazing how wide a range this annular had, from Mexico to Texas to New York all the way across the Atlantic to Morocco and to Algeria!

2017 there was one.  2044 there will be one.

The satellites that measured the ice from say 79-90 vs the 1000s more we have today, do you think that makes a difference at all?  They are probably way more precise today with many more doing calculations than the handful we had 40 years ago.  I wonder if we were to use 1980 tech to measure today what that would have come up with.

You can put your zip in here and see what % of the sun will be visible

Meh. We have had so much rain the last few years that everyone should have already fixed their water issues 

Yup, heard all the basement  cleanup and remediation companies went out of business since everyone did their repairs. 

Came back from great weather in Aruba to great weather here (73), but also to tree that fell from the wind the other day and took out a few sections of pool fencing.

10" on the measuring board in Fleetwood from my dad

Late with this, but got 12" here.  Lucked out big time in the death band

Had a 48 mph gust recorded on my station about 15 min ago 

Did the trimonthly get to 2.0 for this to be super?  I feel like I've seen both listed elsewhere.

some places in central NJ got 20” of snow in a week. stop it lmao

Yup, 20.5", but realize I was pretty lucky.  The past 42 days I've had just about 29" of snow making this winter feel not as terrible as it was.  About 15+ of those days were totally snow covered as well.  

This is definitely going down as the most memorable positive bust that I can remember.  Expecting 3 or 4" tops only to get 12"

12"!!
