There are areas around here that are still a mess. Those tornadoes were really destructive.

Oh man I'm so sorry you had to go through that. Ehh, the drive itself isn't so bad. I do 600 mile days pretty frequently, sometimes as much as 800 with work stops during the day. The life of a salesman... What a beautiful fall day today is. I'd be good with days like this for months at a time. Dry with a light breeze and even a very light jacket, or at least long sleeves, in the shade but comfy in the sun.

Looks like it's going to get warm and humid, hopefully it comes with some wind to dry things out a bit.

I'd be curious to see a soil moisture map to see if there's a correlation. Anecdotally I'm pretty sure there is based on where the mt bike trails are in good shape and where they aren't.

I'm supposed to but not feeling like driving all the way out there for one day if it's going to rain. Unfortunately I can't stay for the weekend and need to be home for something on Saturday so it's a heck of a trip for a rainy day at over 5 hours each way. Oh no that's terrible Was it one of the shuttle buses that runs around or had you left the festival and gone into one of the local towns?

Ha yeah that was the only time today that I was disappointed that my sunglasses were in my wifes car. Thankfully it only lasted for about 5 minutes so no harm done. I was thinking that the difference between your totals and the rest of us was that one night that you got doused and we didn't. That p&c looks awfully promising for the weekend but I'm not going to hold my breath. Unfortunately Friday still looks rotten and I'm supposed to be at a mt bike festival south of State College for the day. I'm not feeling like a 6 hour, each way, drive is worth the effort just to stand outside in the mud and have a 60% chance of more rain while I'm there but the company really needs my help in the booth. Looks like it's gonna be an audible around 9pm Thursday night whether i go or not.

Extended winter weather and the resultant delayed spring makes it seem like allergy season is longer but I bet that it's about the same length just pushed out further. I know that it has been very moldy due to all of the moisture so that may be a factor for you also.

Ooh ooh I saw 51* on the dashboard today That was up in JC land near Rhinebeck. This weather sux.

Between 6:30-7:15 it absolutely poured between Brewster and Danbury. The windshield wipers were barely keeping up and the water on the roads was easily 1/2" deep. Everything is thoroughly saturated, the lower half of my yard is standing water and deep mud.

And it's pouring again

I hope they're right. I'd sure like to see a nice day on Friday. I need to be in central PA for a mt bike festival and it's all day outside.

Doesn't matter, the drenching already happened here.

It sux when you run out of home heating oil when it's in the 30's at night in May and have to run out and get 5 gallons of diesel to get by. I'm going to need to get another 5 today too so we don't freeze tonight. This weather really needs to break for the season. Really...

A friend posted what looks like about 5" in southern VT this afternoon in her yard at ~1500 feet, it looks like quite a bit more higher up.

What are you talking about? 22 out of 30 days in April it rained and I've only had one complete 24 hour period this month without some precip. Everything is soggy and moldy, trees are flopping over on hillsides because it's so wet, the overflow dams on the Croton River system haven't stopped running yet this month and only for a couple of hours here and there in April. I've been emptying the dehumidifier in my basement 2 or 3 times a day for the last 6 weeks and the bugs are HUGE already. You haven't been any more wet than we have here.

I just went through a couple of local stations on WU and apparently I've only had 1 day this month with no recorded precip. A few days were only a few hundredths but still... 46* wet and windy on 5/12. I guess it's better than in the higher spots in the Catskills https://www.plattekill.com/webcams/ Yuck.

You don't like snow in the winter and you don't like rain the rest of the year. Time to head for the desert buddy. We just had 2 1/2 nice(ish) days, yesterday was wonderful.

Yeah I just had to drive over to Ridgefield (CT) to pick up my father in law for Mothers Day dinner. Road conditions are pretty rotten, traffic through Danbury and into NY to I684 is really bad. Good thing I know all the back roads. Did it start raining before midnight? I'm curious because it adds another rain day for the month. If it did I've only had two days so far this month that it didn't rain at some point in the day.

^^ Wow. I know that it's snowing pretty far south in NH too from a friends FB post a little while ago. Radar looks like the heaviest rain is along I90 so that heaviest south of Long Island forecast is a fail. I hope the p&c for this week is wrong, as of now it looks like Wednesday might be the only good day. We need a good tropical storm to blow up this stupid WAR and change things up.

Not too hot but yeah, warm and dry for a few weeks at a time would be nice. Snowless? No we need the water so spring through fall can be dry but none of that heavy wet stuff and no more ice storms. Those 5 weeks of sleet and ice this past winter sucked.

^^ Yep I had to mow again today and just did it a few days ago. With absolutely no effort on my part it's really filling in nicely. Not much grass but there's a lot of green stuff so I'm good with it. The back yard still looks like sh*t after losing 7 trees this winter. I have HUGE piles of brush from the crowns, it's piled up ten feet deep in one corner and 3-4 feet deep along a fair bit of the back edge (about 75 feet long) and 15 feet out from the fence. I think it's time to dump some of the old mower gas and have a rainy day brush burn soon so I can make room for more. What a beautiful day today was. Who do I call to order a few more of these?

Ya think?

Yes but if it doesn't rain it can't wash the pollen out of the air and your allergies will blossom into an uncomfortable mess. You'd also run out of the stuff that comes out of those hoses.

Keep that front form reaching the area until after midnight so we can break the consecutive days streak. It also makes me wonder if the warmer minimums will be enough to keep the above average temp streak intact. Cooler max's would have to be significantly so for it to change that up.

I got a bunch of rain here, 5 miles south got nothing but from central Westchester down it was very wet.
