1.12 inches here and over 5 for the month. All the ponds are overflowing around here and my sump pump is running for the first time in years.

Only 3 days below 32 for HVN. +11.2 and the warmest January on record at 41.6. Previous record was 2020 at 36.8.

Forsythia are blooming all along the shore here.

Thanks. I still can't find that on the link. What drop down do I select under single station to get that? The first one graph?

Thanks. What do you click on under the acis chart for single station to get those?

Anyone have a link where I can see monthly temp departures from normal ranked by year? I want to see what HVN's record January departure is compared to its current +11.2 departure. Is it here? https://xmacis.rcc-acis.org/

Feels like full on spring here. Bulbs coming up, lawns nice and green with dandelions, there are hundreds of worms flooded out all over driveways and roads this morning. Has to be some near record departures for January. DXR +12.5 HVN +11.1 GON +10.1 BDR +8.2

April like soil temperatures in January...

Shut em down?

My wife and I are still trying to come up with a bad Hallmark Christmas movie name...

Some legit cold here even on the shore...

Congrats to MVY for a white Christmas. Made some adjustments to PoPs for the band of ocean effect snow affecting the Islands, leaning heavily on 06z 3km NAM which has a great handle on its current position and expected trends. This is an unusual situation that we often only see with SW flow when there is a departing arctic airmass. It`s actually rather shallow, only up to around 3,000 ft in depth, which is why it looks unimpressive on radar, but IR satellite shows its origins are in Long Island Sound and it extends across Block Island to Martha`s Vineyard and Chatham.

HVN 47.2

I just saw this on Reddit from a CT lineman. Unfortunately, there’s a lot of power companies throughout the US right now, hitting the emergency button due to the weather in their respective areas. From Illinois all the way to Rhode Island and north, hundreds of power companies are snagging all the traveling lineman, nationwide, leaving Eversource short-staffed. The usual crews Eversource would get from Texas and alabama and Canada, are now going to Michigan and New York and other states and even staying back in Canada to work on their own system. Mark my words, if this number reaches to 380,000, I promise you it will not be a 3 day restoration timeframe. It will be a week or more.

Its for just CT. https://www.ctinsider.com/news/article/CT-weather-power-outages-rain-wind-chills-17671343.php Eversource, the state's largest electricity provider, increased its outage predictions Thursday afternoon as the storm reached Connecticut. Eversource said it was preparing for a level 4 event with the potential for 125,000 to 380,000 outages that would take two to six days to restore — meaning some customers may still be in the dark on Christmas.

One challenge regarding potential snow accumulations involves the placement of the inverted trough and associated enhanced precip along it as the shortwave passes aloft tonight. Discrepancies among the different models and among consecutive runs within each model continue, but generally favor a band higher liquid equivalent precip located in the vicinity of NYC to points west of the Hudson. Some guidance shifts this band over areas east of NYC late tonight, leading to a chance that forecast snow accumulations may need to be bumped up a little for areas east of the city, but for now have nudged up the numbers a little.

I still think the 91 corridor or just east near route 9 is going to get crushed later tonight...

From Upton's AFD. The challenge regarding potential snow accumulations involves the placement of the inverted trough and associated enhanced precip along it as the shortwave passes aloft tonight.

Jan 8th Branford Point

It's going to setup right up the 91 corridor. North Haven, Hamden, Wallingford, Meriden, etc..

HVN will jack. What a deep winter scene here.
