    Deluge here in Smithtown. Most welcome. Already up to .30” and the downpour continues

    Don, i always follow your daily summations. Just going off memory, we just had a period of smaller positive SOI results but otherwise it seems for weeks the SOI has been a bit more negative than positive and once again past few days we are negative again. Does this indicate a problem with the current La Nina taking off as much as it was expected or more an immaterial statistical anomaly in this short period ? I would normally think we want that index positive in anticipation of an incoming moderate or greater La Niña.

    On LI north shore - Smithtown weather station peaked at 89.6° - with dewpoint of 72°. Muggy bur bearable with strong breeze.

    Any prospect of this -NAO breaking down? Obviously we are not experiencing a Spring 2010 with similar ENSO transition.

    I must recommend a Helly Hansen - easily the best rainy/ snowy weather jacket I’ve had. Best. North Face and Oros - pass. If of course you don’t have one.

    Not sick of them at all. Those of us who went through it will never forget it and it’s now 1.5 weeks and glad to see yours and others post pictures from event as all i had was my iphone camera.

    Exactly.. I kept ignoring Waze until i saw situation as nearing hopeless and all it did was take me through deep Adirondack route - most with zero cell service. I expected bad but this is truly a legend of bad traffic.

    So glad you got these shots. I was in Plattsburgh also (city beach) and was nervous with clouds all day but it was perfect and as expected peak lifetime experience. Traffic was epic - worst I’ve been in - back to Saratoga hotel. 130 miles in 5.5 hours. All worth it

    Lake Champlain, Plattsburgh. Got great spot at City Beach where there is concerts and food truck festival and of course, bathroom access. But gambling on just high thin clouds.

    I’m just 15 minutes south of you and heading to Plattsburgh also. i am targeting 2 beaches that have bathrooms and also shuttles from other spots including Walmart which ultimately could be where i end up. High clouds are simply an accepted part of this now sadly. I hope it’s just that. I could do Burlington but not sure 30 miles is significant enough at this point. Plattsburgh has a long totality , also. Met a retired astronomy teacher who chased 2017 and for this one he’s going to Montpelier for better shot but its totality time is half of Plattsburgh’s. So about to head out and just hope for the best. I return after eclipse to Saratoga Springs.

    I am in Clifton Park now at a bearable Red Roof Inn for $120. Pay for what you get. But will launch early to Plattsburgh - 130 miles - with 3 locations - two state parks and Walmart - where they are funning shuttles to beaches. Spoke to retired astronomy teacher outside and hes heading to Montpelier and while that is further west you also get less than half the totality of Plattsburgh. So appears my fate is written at this time and i will have to risk more clouds. But from Plattsburgh my Monday night hotel is in saratoga which is lovely Training

    Heading up tomorrow to Clifton Park, then next morning to Plattsburgh for eclipse. Not sure exactly where yet but a Walmart Supercenter for initial stop off point. After the eclipse i will head down to Saratoga - i guess normal two hour journey might be at least double or more. Whatever - Plattsburgh hotel rates were out of control.

    Pretty heavy rain in Port Jeff with nice wind gusts. Nice blob of red on radar out here. Down to 46° from 56° 2 hours ago.

    This was Port Jefferson Harbor , March 7 , 2015. The last great freeze. People were still walking out on this ice field as of March 1, 2015. I have pictures of that.

    Yeah - agree. Ed (northshorewx I think ) lives a few block due north of me in Smithtown (next to Kings Park ) and it was close to 2” eyeing it up but was MUCH more than where I work near Islip airport where we had essentially nothing.

    Just got WWA for north Suffolk county

    Someone actually drove through water and they got stuck. The police had put up the warnings but people drove through it. Gotta love it.
