It was an interesting drive north on 22 yesterday morning. The Croton River was raging and barely within it's banks in a few spots then on the north side of The Great Swamp the flooding was up onto the road in Wingdale. It was easily 10" deep in 2 spots. I went up to the Slate Valley area and it was soaked all the way up with high water problems in a few spots. ...and it's raining again

Passed 2" a little while ago. Soggy...

I don't remember the spring of 83 being terribly wet on the South Shore but I do remember the ski season wrapping up early and then the surfing sucked until about mid June.

The garbage can is sinking into the ground by the street.

This follows my thoughts developed over the last 40 years that tropical and subtropical storms are heat pumps. The storms pull heat out of the tropics and bring it poleward so with the higher number of storms over the last 20 years there needs to be more deep, southerly reaching troughs to bring the cool air down to balance things out. (How far off are my thoughts?)
-
I don't even bother looking at new shoes that aren't waterproof because it's wet more often than not anymore.

Snow on the sides of the road started west of Middletown this morning and above 1500, all the way to Binghamton and then above about 800 up to Syracuse had fresh accumulations from yesterday. It wasn't much but made for a nice ride with greenery doing its best in the face of our stupid new spring weather pattern, the contrast between fresh white and green was nice. Tuesday night should be just wet right? I'll be driving in late, won't be leaving Buffalo until about 3 then making a beeline for home.

So because we are all annoyed by the refusal to multi quote we get called lazy and stupid. Someone needs to find a new sandbox to play in...
-
Yup. Other than just a bit of additional spillover right along the spine of the divide almost all of the big snows are east of the western river basins and will give no benefit at all.
-
What impressed me most is it's not a local or even regional thing, it was the whole quarter of the country for a while
-
The radar presentation is pretty cool today. Popcorn convective stuff with embedded blobs of wet, white and frozen from VA to WI to northern New England. Yay spring
-
1.8" between 8pm and 8am.
-
Decent storms, not much wind but lotsa rain (1.1") with some good lightning and thunder.
-
I saw 3 flakes today, hopefully the last for the year. It's time to wrap this stinker up and toss it with the dirty diapers.
-
That line of mixed precip coming at us from the SW looks like it might mean business for a little while. Will it still be as significant as it looks now when it gets here? When will it get here?
-
We're talking about Thursday afternoon when things potentially get ugly, right? My kid is flying into LGA at 11am, it should be ok right?
-
This fits into the thread you just started but, with the northward movement of plant life that had previously been native to further south than here there are more semi-native plants that will be affected by these late season cold shots.
-
I've been ranging from light flurries to moderate wind-driven squally stuff. It really doesn't feel like (I want it to at) the end of March but I guess I shouldn't be surprised... The radar is lit up around the region and looks more like late December than March.
-
This isn't just flurries. I really didn't think this streamer would hold together but, here it is. Damn...
-
30° with flurries and wind. Yuck.
-
@Juliancolton are you under that streamer that's been stretched across Dutchess for a few hours now?
-
See I told ya it was gonna happen. I swapped out the winter wheels on the car last week in a kind of psych out move. Apparently it worked. You're all welcome.
-
Leaf out looks to be ready to happen any minute now and y'all are talking about snow. Remember 4/1/97? Yeah. Big mess. We can't stop the trees from doing their thing so IMO we should wish this to be a rainstorm because I really don't want another tree to take out the power line to our house again. That was stupid expensive...
-
Well, it looks like the trees and assorted other flora are about to leaf out any minute now. Unfortunately, if the chatter about colder and possibly whiter rather than wetter around the end of the month is right I'm foreseeing a situation like 4/1/97 but I can't imagine anything like 17" in a few hours this time around. Trees down, no power for a few days and lots of manual labor to clean up afterwards. I really don't feel like going through that again being 25 years older...
-
Of course it's gonna get cold again, I took the winter wheels off our cars this morning. I did it for you guys
