I’m down here right now, they are all complaining about the power outages they’ve already had this summer, ha.

Those are just insane lengths of time to have no power, and it’s not like you live in the middle of no where. Jeez.

Weird to see convection moving SE to NW in N.VT… not something we get often.

Just got down to NE CT… every gas station has at least one or two people filling up red gas containers. One of the clerks was joking they lose power on a sunny day with a stiff breeze.

Misquamicut is looking better and better for huge surf. My favorite beach spot growing up, experienced a couple days of good waves body surfing as a kid and that was it. Even on NESN after the Sox game, they switched to Henri watch.

Noticed Twitter back to normal today. Can read without an account.

Full on pig roast up here. All sunshine, 86F, dews of 68-70F. Glad to be coming into AC this evening at home. Was very hot at the Mtn today.

That seems like Home Depot everyday, ha.

The trees are blocking the wind but I can hear it just above them.

That’s a true professional met right there… and a professional .

Blocking of the flow will be the determining factor.

0.69” in the Stratus this evening. I’m sure there’s some slight difference between manual and electronic A soaking rain that lasted for most of the day. Even the persistent mist and -RN made for a damp synoptic rain event. Places just south of here got double these amounts and more. Coastal storm type gradient.

Gaining latitude, the cone will tighten in the New England region is the idea I think. Both correct.

No shit, just looked it up. The KC Scouts in 1974. I grew up an Islanders and Devils fan, never knew that about the Devils. Knew they came from CO. Maybe KC can be a hockey town? Or it didn’t work, ha.

They can wait. There's a 'cane to track. This is when you pass that parked cruiser doing like 60 in a 40 and the cop doesn't even blink. The 18z EPS is out and it's real, other things to look at.

Yeah man, I don’t know what it is about the NHL trying to bring these teams into weak markets. I saw some buzz about Kansas City… once again just doesn’t feel like a natural “hockey town.” I know it’s about money, tax breaks, negotiations and stuff but they keep jamming these teams into weak markets just because they are sufficiently lobbied. No wonder an Arizona team struggled. The only reason it was there was because it was cheap to play there with tax breaks. I have several diehard hockey friends in Quebec that ski at Stowe and it’s always a topic of conversation how the NHL keeps trying to slight the Canadian teams despite ice hockey (men’s and women’s) being the most popular sport in the country. They have plenty of frozen water to utilize up there, ha.

Need more Canadian teams, those fans live and breath true hockey fandom. Would be awesome to see QC get its team back. I’m all in. Love Hockey Night in Canada.

You try referencing any nearby PWS or Cocorahs for May. I’ll have to double check mine but I’m pretty positive you have me beat for annual water (Jan 1) just from like June onward lol. We were catching up a bit in August until this morning, ha. That’s some Mansfield picnic table water and that average is like 75” a year.

Yeah 6+ is a shit ton of water. Then again a gypsy moth farts and NE CT gets 3-5” water this summer so who knows.

You can be right and radarman is right too. 12+ is a lot of water for New England. Depends on the area though too… Even widespread 4-8” is like full on Armageddon here in VT down to the Berks from the terrain (re Irene). I could see the Cape taking 8-12” with some parking lot flooding. I still think 12+ rainfall is a tough nut to crack but I’m more aligned with deep interior climo.

My dad said he had over 5” in their simple gauge this afternoon. Washed out the gravel driveway. All summer they’ve had pretty similar rain to you it seems to the right of 84 on the MA/CT border.

Yeah it’s been stuck in the Winooski Valley and south of I-89 all afternoon. Rainy here but seems more showery.

Snowbird, Utah with some August snow this morning.

Definitely seems like the afternoon will be ruined by rounds of showers, it doesn’t seem to be going anywhere too quickly.

It is exciting though, 5" in 4 hours here would literally destroy the place up here. I still have no idea how they've been getting those rain amounts this summer without monster flash flooding and 10 foot deep chasms through roads, houses washed away, etc. If we got 5" in 4 hours I'd honestly be concerned here with the river, thing would be absolutely raging eating away at the lawn while whole trees float by that probably fell in up by Mansfield lol.
