The snow squall aspect is kind of cool. They definitely get the Mohawk Valley thing going. Not sure the name of the mtns NW of Saratoga, but those things light up on SW winds where you get the WAA, but occurring in a polar airmass.

Ellacoya?

Look how sneaky NW and even nrn NJ can be near 287 with those events. Might not jack, but they do better than BOS when longitude is involved. 12/29/00 was a hard lesson in that.

It's not if, but when. I'm not saying expect a whiplash reaction to storms tracking over SE MA, but statistically, our exorbitant snow averages will regress, while yours may go up a bit.

I know some scary encounters with those that have Lyme Disease and are still battling it. I understand it's not as deadly, but it does have far reaching effects if not treated fairly promptly. If I am out, I throw on bug spray. And there are companies who use products that aren't made by Chemical Ali's relatives, that you can spray around the yard and it does the job. My cousin in Bridgewater near the Taunton River does it. He never has an issue, and the mosquitoes there will gnaw your arm off and fly it back to their nests. LOL. I'll find out the name and what they put down. It does cost money, but it works. I'm with Dendrite and amarshal....just not sure having these planes dropping drizzle drops of brain cancer are the best thing.

Ahh the interior storms. Man that's going to be tough when they come back. Given my difficulties managing meteorological emotions, I'd have to take a break from this place. You'd think getting older would make you wiser. It's like I have an inner Kevin in me, only I know what I am talking about. Lets hope for 02-03 for everyone.

September is fine. It can grow in November even.

Kevin can come back to the board now. Sorry if I hurt your feelings last evening. We all love you.

PRE events overall are modeled well. They have synoptic features that are usually features that guidance models well (LLJ, jet streaks, shortwaves etc). This was not a classic PRE. In fact you could argue either way. It did have PRE characteristics which include an appraoching s/w, strong jet stream venting aloft, and a surge in moisture getting squeezed out ahead of the storm. But, this had a combo of both mesoscale and synoptic features that were difficult to model. I think many of us including myself said this numerous times. The uber amounts didn't pan out as I think we didn't get the true tropical plume north into SNE...perhaps from convection to the south robbing a bit...although the setup would produce many other times.

I feel like we do so much for EEE which is rare overall from a number of cases standpoint, but we sort of "meh" Lyme Disease which is still very bad and so so many more people have it. Kill those effing ticks. Lyme Disease is secretly becoming an epidemic.

Yep, we all try to steal.

Weather can be emotional. I am happy to admit it.

Why the harsh post? Cannabis should make you mellow.

Western New England storms will rise again. It's coming.

No not 4". Really could use 2", but it's fine. Problem with irrigation is that I have a water and sewer bill. So what goes in, you are also charged for what goes out. I'd have to get a separate well for irrigation, but that's thousands of dollars. I'm done being a baby. Onto Labor Day of pour.

I don't know what it is, but the last several years have been real dry here during the summer. Some of it is lack of instability and death ridging keep it capped. June and July were wet this year. Usually it is August that is the wetter month, but this year sort of stopped that trend. Being further north also helps with synoptics. A warm front moving in will give you an inch of rain while Kevin is feverishly checking his Davis for updated dews.

Salvaging what I have. I've put a lot of new soil in my planting beds, but I am sitting on ledge just below the surface. Without getting occasional bouts of rain...it just kills the lawns and plants when I go 2-3 weeks or more without much precip. It's more frustration. To see things go to crap after putting a lot of effort into them is annoying. I actually enjoy gardening.

I'm still not happy. Amuse away. Really need a few good bouts of rain. Seems like next chance is Labor Day of pour.

1.1” in the gauge. One of the lower readings, but much needed. -RA currently.

I knew we’d get that screw job.

Congrats on another 1.5"

Ern MA laughing at every run.

It’s more showery in nature. I don’t see an area of more widespread heavier rains. Sure maybe a narrow area does well but seems more showery in nature. The LLJ does increase so maybe it comes together, but it does not look that impressive given how it was modeled to look at this time.

I can’t believe how effing porked I’ve been.

Meh. Not impressed. Sure maybe a 5 mile wide areas gets it.
