Yup I totally get it. If I lost power for 7-10 days from a weak TS, I’d still be a bit hesitant.

I sort of get it from what Ryan said… CT has seen some ridiculous power outages for what models had as rather mundane storms. Hearing the amount of days some posters have been without power in recent years… It would be easier to lean towards hype. Judging by what everyone around here says they are expecting to lose power if there are 40mph gusts, ha.

Engagement party yesterday. Heading back today. Will be back in a week for something else too. That rain band was torrential, it knows how to rain here it seems this summer.

That on the Davis? I was thinking maybe 15mph on the hill in Woodstock so far. Torrential rain right now though.

The Red Sox were obviously distracted by hurricane prep tonight with 5 errors. You can tell the players were wondering more about latest model guidance for Henri than playing baseball.

Nice evening in NE CT. Probably time for an evening swim. See all sorts of trees ready to take those power lines out too, ha.

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.
