  1. Some good numbers showing up but only have .10 . Nice steady rain now. A lot to be said about a rainy slow day off after a crazy fun summer and an insane Sunday Funday at Mia casa.
  2. Thanks, if I position myself outside right center field I can watch both games but ugh.
  3. NWS Boston site radar working. Sweet looks like some nice steady rain moving in. Does kind of suck as 2 daughters are playing Championship ball games tonight on separate fields at the same location at the same time. Looks like being rained out is a distinct possibility.
  4. Ah missed that. Haven't had my coffee yet
  5. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=pfbid02w9fXem4WJjwrRHwWMjrjSH1PY52NQxnGGQkCYPc4NxkafPzMDLYPDsK9hTE5zRarl&id=111022512243327&sfnsn=mo&extid=a&mibextid=7htlnv
  6. Sunday Funday, Let's go! What a gorgeous day. Get wet get wild
  7. I remember Brian's post about how hot the sun felt back in July. There is a noticeable difference as you point out but it's still hot. What a weekend
  8. Fill now, prices are going to go thru the roof
  9. Similar to reading a tree ring to tell the age of a tree and the climate conditions that existed in a given year, scientists can read the sediment cores to tell when intense hurricanes occurred. The study’s authors found evidence of 32 prehistoric hurricanes, along with the remains of three documented storms that occurred in 1991, 1675 and 1635. The prehistoric sediments showed that there were two periods of elevated intense hurricane activity on Cape Cod – from 150 to 1150 and 1400 to 1675. The earlier period of powerful hurricane activity matched previous studies that found evidence of high hurricane activity during the same period in more southerly areas of the western North Atlantic Ocean basin – from the Caribbean to the Gulf Coast. The new study suggests that many powerful storms spawned in the tropical Atlantic between 250 and 1150 also battered the US East Coast. The deposits revealed that these early storms were more frequent, and in some cases were likely more intense, than the most severe hurricanes Cape Cod has seen in historical times, including Hurricane Bob in 1991 and a 1635 hurricane that generated a 20-foot storm surge, according to Donnelly. High hurricane activity continued in the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico until 1400, although there was a lull in hurricane activity during this time in New England, according to the new study. A shift in hurricane activity in the North Atlantic occurred around 1400 when activity picked up from the Bahamas to New England until about 1675. The periods of intense hurricanes uncovered by the new research were driven in part by intervals of warm sea surface temperatures that previous research has shown occurred during these time periods, according to the study. Previous research has also shown that warmer ocean surface temperatures fuel more powerful storms. The sediment coring and analysis by Donnelly and his colleagues “is really nice work because it gives us a much longer period perspective on hurricanes,” said Kerry Emanuel, a professor of atmospheric science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge. “It gives you something that you otherwise wouldn’t have any knowledge of.” “The ability to produce and synthesize thousands of years of data on hurricane paths and frequencies is revolutionizing our understanding of what controls where and how often these dangerous storms make landfall,” said Candace Major, program director in the National Science Foundation’s Division of Ocean Sciences, which funded the research. The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution is a private, non-profit organization on Cape Cod, Mass.
  10. 1616 ? Was there snow in VT in that one?
  11. What are you confused about now. You love that emoji as much as you love dews.
  12. I attended many simulations during my Emergency Manager days working for the Mashantuckets. There were shocking presentations put on by Eversource, months for many. One simulation was the 1635 cane That storm was absolutely a monster. It can happen. least a strong Category 3 hurricane at landfall with 125 mph (201 km/h) sustained winds and a central pressure of 938 mbar (27.7 inHg) at the Long Island landfall and 939 mbar (27.7 inHg) at the mainland landfall. This would be the most intense known hurricane landfall north of Cape Fear, North Carolina if accurate. Jarvinen noted that the colonial hurricane may have caused the highest storm surge along the east coast in recorded history at 20 feet (6.1 m) near the head of Narragansett Bay. He concluded that "this was probably the most intense hurricane in New England history
  13. Full moon goon, the first storm correctly forecast using moon, tidal currents and pattern recognition
  14. Yap and we know what happened when it flipped again with the Phillies
  15. Still meh on the scale inland, some trees down but dry.
  16. You look at the 3 rd year Nina’s? Or 3 rd year neutrals to cold closely, might change your mind.
  17. Would take a Cat 3 to affect you with any force, your winter SE winds are worse.
  18. Bob was a beast at my house in Ashaway, RI. 6 plus rain, gust to 86 on my station and the first and last tornado I have seen. No power for 10 days
  19. Pattern looks like crap for a cane though
  20. What do you think ends all droughts?, ask Europe
