  1. what does this map even mean? Like, there is a slight ~15% chance that I get excessive rainfall? what is excessive? And yes I know it is going to rain just seems stupid to me
  2. got pounded by that cell here at MHT. lots of thunder/lightning, and i don't know how much rain but it was dumping
  3. just got a decent downpour, just over 1" since yesterday, just over 2" MTD
  4. i feel like I am living in a swamp like TBlizz, it is very soupy outside
  5. and you watched them all, didn't you?
  6. i am trying to stay safe under brightening skies with 0.2" on the day
  7. i have a 6500 watt portable generator that I plug into an outlet outside the house which goes to a transfer switch. it is super easy, and powers everything I need, heat, water (on a well), and most importantly internet. i could use microwave but don't because it is obviously a huge power suck, and can't use the stove/oven.
  8. I recently learned that whole house generators have a life span of around 20 years. a friend has had one for 20+ years, and it recently stopped doing its weekly test run, so he had a guy out to service it. Found a blown fuse, which he replaced. when he fired up the generator, the battery literally exploded. No diagnosis as the unit was well out of warranty and there was no guarantee that they could even figure out what the problem was.
  9. aside from the winds, it’s pretty damn nice out there this morning. glad the wind is drying out the grass so I can cut it today, but it’s a bit much right now. Hopefully it subsides a bit later
  10. grabbed a quick quarter inch here, the local vegetation rejoices
  11. what is this wet stuff that appears to be falling from the sky?
  12. for example both Sunday and Monday topped out between 800-900 watts/m2
  13. right now my station solar radiation is ~100 watts/m2 (whatever that means), with a UV index <1
  14. just took down the backyard canopy just in case. pretty much guaranteed that nothing will happen here, not that I was expecting anything but you never know. Those outdoor canopies like to become airborn in the slightest breeze
  15. not super hot (mid 80’s here) but the humidity is the real deal. My evening walk was a bad idea, fat guy sweats a lot.
  16. 0.000000”. Been a decent day although a little humid this morning. Glad we don’t live in CT..as always
  17. similar driving around MHT this afternoon. a couple areas hit 99 on the car thermo, but low to mid 90’s in others
