Mr. Windcredible!

I'm at 32.5 now. If either the air or ground temp was just a couple degrees cooler, we'd be all coated up here. I've probably got 0.25" of slush on my glass patio table...but the grass is frosted at best and still bare in most spots. Nice dusting on the pine trees and leaf piles though. Exciting stuff

Some whitening of colder surfaces here near the shoreline. Heavy heavy trace

yeah...lull was expected before it picks back up again later

Surprisingly gusty here in the past 30 minutes too…wasn’t really expecting the winds until later

Yeah…hourly rate probably not far off. Radar peaked between 3-3.5”/hr. But my total is around 3.6” vs. 5”+ on radar. Whatever…either way…crazy rates there for a bit, but worst seemed to move they pretty quick.

Crushed everywhere. But yeah, a little over 2” in 30 minutes here. Has quieted down a bit now…only 2”/hr instead of 4”/hr [emoji13]

While I question exactly how reliable it is, Knowing my PWS wasn’t designed for these type of rates, it’s been around 4”/hr rain for the past 10min….nearly 1” during that time.

Flood waters in the terminal at EWR

Bit of thunder/lightning here. Surprisingly only just closing in on 0.5” in the gauge though.

some 1.5-2.5"/hr rates in SE PA right now

Evacuations ongoing in Wilmore PA now. A taste of what's to come...

to be fair...the bulk of that falls in a 6-8 hour window

I was looking at NE regional view and trying to figure out what you were talking about. Lucky for NO that's the 384hr GFS. Although Louisiana's next hurricane hit is just 192hs out on the Canadian.

Rain band has set up again over NYC. Gonna add to their big totals from last night.

I think it was warranted to some degree. Was probably worth emphasizing that Henri’s wind impacts were not likely to be as widespread as Sandy…but had this thing peaked at a Cat 2 yesterday and stayed in the further west course…it could’ve been bad across CT. It just irks me that no one wants to be the first station to backdown from the hype. You don’t even have to completely poo poo it as this point. But it’s pretty obvious at this point the wind threat here in CT much less a concern than it was. Still worth highlighting the flash flood potential.

Pretty thankful myself. Who wants a tree on their house and weeks without power? Still gotta watch the flash flooding threat across CT today though.

Not downplaying the potential flood threat here in CT…but after all the hype I’m the past 48 hours…gotta admit this weather alert from NBC is pretty funny

Odds on Eversource shutting off the grids just they can take credit for restoration times faster than 3 weeks?

It was meh-central around here a couple hours ago. I saw one other guy at the hardware store grabbing a gas can and maybe a an extra car or two topping off at the gas station. Seemed like your average day at Stop & Shop. I think some people are still sleeping on this one.

you're forgetting we're in DST too...so the sun sets an hour later

We're in the same boat. I keep waffling back and forth between which option I'd prefer. I think I lean towards the rain...as I'm not in a low lying area and the biggest risk there is some water in the generally unfinished basement. I really hate the though of a tree falling on the house or stressing out about keeping the generator fueled and food from spoiling...not to mention the uncomfortable nights without AC. Honestly I'm kind of hoping for a continued W shift over NYC with a compact wind field that keeps any widespread wind damage close to the core.

When news stations realized a map showing 105 generates more clicks than one showing 95. Gotta hype it up!

we've managed a couple sneaky showers in the past week...but only 0.35". Still nearly 8" on the month though...so I'm not complaining. Wouldn't have minded a decent storm though just for some excitement. I probably jinxed it by opening the window to listen to it roll in. Could hear the thunder when that line was still back west of 91.

We're all used to Severe Thunderstorm Warnings that don't produce...but I think that's the first time I was under one only to see it cancelled like 10 minutes later.

Both you and @Kevin W are awesome for keeping this going and making up for my laziness. In the future...where should I log my totals? I remember using that NE snow site several years ago...honestly didn't even know it was still active. I just thought you were just taking people's totals from here in the forum.
