Like having a 4-week period with 100+ inches of snowfall, mixed in with some frustration. It all comes at once .

Haha you guys do ask for copious rain every summer. Been several summers in a row where it seems the overall tenor of the discussion is "bring rain...please more rain...maybe we have a shot at some downpours coming up." Or the "any rain this summer has been convective, it doesn't even get to soak in. Hit or miss rain sucks." Mother Nature loves her averages, the water was bound to come. Memories of those 10-15" water months that seemed to happen from time to time in New England from like 2000 through 2014 occasionally for different areas. Another dry day up here of course. Sunday Farmers Market had hundreds of people it seemed and the Rec Path out front seemed like I-93 in Mass with bikes. Folks seem to enjoy the dry when on vaca.

Still crazy to me how many big precip events there have been starting with Memorial Day weekend. You can go a summer without seeing a short term prog with that much water, this is like a weekly occurrence this summer.

Ha yeah, thanks for letting me play, peace out. Time to enjoy life with that money.

You’re right, never thought of it that way in the summer but it is the opposite of winter… jet lifting north with time in summer instead of going south with time in winter. Hadley keeps flexing we’ll get rain late month and August before it heads back south?

Surgical precision from here to Tamarack. But it is absolutely crazy how every rainer is big QPF. Sometimes it's like well hopefully we can get a swath of like a half inch of water or so. This year it's like no, the max zone will be inches of rain every single time.

It’s great that it’s percolated down to the south coast too… dews in the 50s Its 53F here as I’m nodding off.

It’s coming for us at some point. No doubt.

I hate the Yankees with a passion, but that game tonight on national television was impressive. Gerrit Cole pitched his ass off. A 1-0 win against the best lineup in the AL, the Astros, in a complete game shut piece? Good baseball game. Need to tip your cap when its deserved.

Looks like a classic coastal storm spread, ha. Coastal plain gets smoked. Sharp drop off into the mountains.

What a summer day out there.... warm, absolutely zero humidity, breeze, no bugs and wall-to-wall sunshine from New York to Quebec to New Hampshire. From the other reports here, it seems like it was a winner from the Atlantic to the mountains and everywhere in between.

High of 79F and afternoon dew got down to 45! Been a while since we’ve felt mid-40s dews on a warm sunny day. Clear skies tonight and with the afternoon dews I bet we get 40s for a min. That shouldn’t be noteworthy but these days in the growing Hadley Cell it is. We still water up here in the desert. Man is amazing for inventing this circular thing with forced water through it. We can put humans on the moon and bring water to where it needs to be.

I’ll be down in the swamp there next week. Heading down Monday evening I think. Hoping it’s nice enough to get a couple rounds of golf in with the old man.

Full sun. 75/52. Dry air up here in the NNE desert. Bottle this up, heading towards 10/10 status if we can hit 80F with these dews.

Chamber of Commerce. Low of 51F, now CLR skis and 68/53. Beauty. Not a cloud in the sky, dry. Great day to wander the mountains then play some golf.

That’s more rain in 24 hours than we’ve had in a month I think. Awesome anti-Stein. Enough water to last through next summer. You knew it was coming after a couple dry summers. We don’t do drought well.

Where is this in E.CT? Can you float it in a tube? Is it a rafting spot? A 3-hour float sounds pretty sweet. Going to have to google some images of this place.

Good example of why it’s hard to run long term drought in New England.

It’s going to eat us all after frying us.

That’s all? The heavier swath seemed right through you. I saw MPV with almost an inch.

Facebook reminded me of this 4 years ago... so guess the snow pile made it at least this far 4 years ago. July 9th, not bad.

You can see the sleet washing out there in southern Middlesex County as those deep cellular reds transition north to more smooth yellow echos… oh wait, tropical storm not winter.

Around ~0.80” rain overnight. A good soak for Steinland and great timing all overnight. Sun breaking out again this morning.

It’s finally raining with some authority. Took a while today to get going.

Ha was just coming to post the same thing. 6.81” for Weymouth?
