4.7 inches here with some 6+ totals just east.

Yeah. Some big totals there.

Tons of thunder here just now. Look at that band heading into HVN. 1.33 already.

Lots of recent thunder just east of HVN.

Congrats on the jack 5 inches there.

Yeah. Looks like a special morning tomorrow. Hoping to get in on some 2 inch rates. However, signals are starting to point to this boundary lying close to if not over Long Island/S CT after day break Sunday morning. There may also be some added lift aloft from a passing jet. The 00z HREF is showing probabilities of greater than 3 inches in 3 hours around 30 percent over urban NE NJ, NYC into Western Long Island from 09-12z Sunday with some areas 40-60 percent over central LI into the central portions of CT coast 12-15z Sunday, and around 30 percent for southeastern CT 15z-18z Sunday. We have noted in recent flash flooding events that at least a 30 percent chance of 3 inches in 3 hours has often resulted in flash flooding in parts of the urban corridor. The 00z REFS also indicated a probability greater than 50 percent for greater than 3 inch amounts in some of these same areas, specifically east of the NYC metro. There is also about a 20-30 percent probability of around 2 inch per hour rates based of data from the WPC Urban Rain Rate Dashboard.

Yeah. I set my t-stat to 68 cool from pretty much April to October. This is what my central air usage looks like just about every year.

Natural gas prices are state regulated by PURA. They have to submit rate increases and get them approved similar to electricity. I believe its every 6 months like electricity so the price is extremely stable for 6 months.

Nice to see there's still a little heartbeat on the muggy meter into September...

Hopefully you get swarmed and covered in honeydew.. Spotted lanternflies produce honeydew as a sticky, sugary waste fluid when they feed on plant sap, coating nearby trees and objects. It makes outdoor furniture, decks, and cars sticky, dirty, and hard to clean. Bees also collect it, changing the taste and look of local honey.

They must have just crossed over the Quinnipiac River/New Haven. Only saw them out your way in Milford, Orange, West Haven prior to seeing them here this summer.

I don't go out of my way to kill them but I just probably mowed over dozens of them cutting the grass. I have battled many invasive insects but the shear number of these fuckers is astounding. I have also been reading they are drastically changing the taste of the local honey.

Anyone else dealing with lantern flies in CT? Full on invasion here around New Haven. All the kids in the neighborhood are killing them with salt guns.

That month was really sunny as we'll I think. Here is a chart of my solar powering my heat pumps and entire house and sending power out to the grid. I think it was on the same day as the other picture I just posted. My solar inverter is rated for 5kw and was actually clipping/reducing power to the 5kw limit.

I think the last legit subzero cold shot here was back in Feb 23. I think it dropped to -5 here. I have been using heat pumps since 2016 and went out and took this infrared picture of my heat pump still pulling heat out of the air at -5 with a -20.5 discharge temperature. All the red on my foundation and ground is heat leaking out of my house.
