  1. Aurora is visible right now from Smithtown
  2. August rainfall in N Smithtown was 11.93" That's the most I've had in a month at this location. The old monthly rainfall record was 10.23" just last December.
  3. Satisfying quick half inch with a few loud booms. A traditional garbage pail floater. In and out fast without washing away half of the town. Good for the fall veggies.
  4. I think the Blydenburgh dam failure also happened in late February 1979 during the epic meltout and rains after the early February snowfalls culminating in PD1. I'll see if I can verify that memory. Pretty sure there was a working stream gage on the Nissequogue at that time.
  5. Yeah, that sucks. That was one of our favorite places to take the kids when they were young.
  6. Loud thunder for the last 15 minutes. Was sunny with dark clouds to the south, but it's getting dark here now.
  7. 8.21" here over night. 8.54" total if you include Saturday night's rain. For comparison, we had 5.53" during the August 2014 deluge and 4.20" during Ida.
  8. The rain stopped a few minutes ago and just like that the blue super moon is visible to the southwest. I have a standard 4" cocorahs gauge and will check it in the morning, but bkviking is about a half mile south of me and I'm sure is very close to what I will measure.
  9. This is the most thunder I've heard around here in years. Probably the most rain too
  10. Too noisy to sleep. Pounding rain and a couple of very close lightning strikes. Our phones just lit up again with the FFW.
  11. Constant drumming on the roof here. Multiple reports of water rescues and road closures around the area.
  12. Just had the outflow boundary evident on radar move through here a minute ago. Only lasted a few seconds, but it was wild on an otherwise quiet evening. The storms it originated from to the north didn't look very impressive.
  13. Some photos from the Adirondack high peaks region. If I hadn't seen the way the moments entering into totality and emerging from it were like throwing a light switch, I wouldn't have understood it. https://photos.app.goo.gl/C3s51MsN7tygGgs9A
  14. Adirondacks, a few miles south of Lake Placid
  15. Ready! https://photos.app.goo.gl/uVwL5YsqvFpyJwLB7
  16. Damn, I'm upstate and missed it. My wife said the house shook violently for 10 seconds.
  17. Nice April forecast for Mt Washington. High end over 40"? Not too shabby. Overnight Snow, possibly mixed with sleet, becoming all snow after 1am. The snow could be heavy at times. Low around 9. Wind chill values as low as -16. Very windy, with an east wind around 60 mph, with gusts as high as 95 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. Total nighttime snow and sleet accumulation of 7 to 11 inches possible. Thursday Snow. The snow could be heavy at times. High near 16. Wind chill values as low as -21. Very windy, with an east wind 65 to 70 mph decreasing to 60 to 65 mph in the afternoon. Winds could gust as high as 110 mph. Chance of precipitation is 90%. New snow accumulation of 10 to 16 inches possible. Thursday Night Snow. Low around 13. Wind chill values as low as -12. Very windy, with an east wind 45 to 55 mph, with gusts as high as 70 mph. Chance of precipitation is 80%. New snow accumulation of 6 to 10 inches possible. Friday Snow. High near 19. Wind chill values as low as -8. Windy, with a north wind 20 to 30 mph, with gusts as high as 40 mph. Chance of precipitation is 80%. New snow accumulation of 2 to 4 inches possible. Friday Night Snow before 7pm, then snow showers likely after 7pm. Low around 9. Windy, with a northeast wind 25 to 30 mph, with gusts as high as 40 mph. Chance of precipitation is 80%. New snow accumulation of around an inch possible.
  18. The die is cast. It's sink or swim for me at Heart Lake. It's not the max 4 minutes of totality, but 3 out of 4 ain't bad. Got my cellphone camera ready to go
  19. Last nights downpour was 0.04" here.
  20. 10.71" precipitation in North Smithtown for March. This is our wettest month, eclipsing the 10.23" from this December. Kind of a wet winter (6.49" in January, a dry-ish 2.43" in February). 12 month rainfall (4/1/23 - 3/31/24) is 61.79" ! Note: I've only been tracking rainfall here since 1/1/2013
  21. Any advice for hairy bittercress, which is already running amok?
  22. Without doing any actual digging, it looks like snowfall is weighted more heavily than cold in the right column.
  23. We had almost 70" in both 13-14 and 14-15, which is right in line with your experience. Then 2016 was more than just the one late January blizzard here. Seems like it's the lame winters that cement your better averages, although this is about as small a sample size as one can conjur up.
