Look at that firehose

Why are any of you awake? Why am I awake?

I wake up early on purpose so I can read the thrilling dews debates. 

Power back on as of 3:43pm.  Weak sauce all around.  Few small branches from the dying oak in the corner of my yard down on the ground.

Heavy, heavy rain and gusty for past 30 - 45 minutes. I’d guess gusts up 35 or so.

And power is out here. Lame ass weak storm and it still went out.

Sigh… just had my first power flicker…that does not bode well. Was hoping to make it until at least noontime.

Wet. Breezy.

8 days without power? Wtf, you live in Afghanistan?  I think I’ve lost power here a total of 2 days in 17 years.

Must be nice to live in the city, I lost power for 5 days for Irene and 5 for the October Snow storm, and I wasn’t necessarily in the sticks of NE CT

Off the top of my head for me: 10 days Oct 11 snow, 9 days May 18 Tornado, and 7 days Aug 20 Isiass.

9 days for Irene, 3 for Octobomb, 8 for IsiASS.  Sucks being at the end of the lines on a rural road.

tighter rotation showing up in latest images. 

Suckin' on dry air...

While I'm sure I'll still lose power for a few days, I'm glad this thing looks like crap.  Was worried about it being an actual hurricane and going right over my house.

Nice little storm passing just north of the house.  Some nice rumbles of thunder and about 12 rain drops.

Still waiting for the cool front.  Super humid and warm after the rain showers a little while ago.  82/74 IMBY. 

Heavy heavy rain in these initial bands.  Not much wind earlier, but the tree tops are starting to move now.  Still pretty light though.

Ha was just coming to post the same thing.

6.81” for Weymouth?

Heh....4 to 5" for MBY.  Good thing the sump pump is running okay.

Pouring buckets here and occasional loud rumbles of thunder.  Most interesting weather in weeks....zzzzz.  Ha Ha.  At least it's some much needed rain.

Same here.  They really picked up yesterday afternoon.  The past few weeks it was just one or two that would harass me in the yard, but now it's a swarm.  My favorite trick is to take a blue solo cup and cover it in the clear tanglefoot fly trap goo and then put it on an old hat and walk around the yard with it on my head.  Sure, I look like a complete whacko, but every time they dive bomb in for the kill they get stuck and once they see one stuck they think it's a buffet and they all end up getting stuck. It's very satisfying.

Similar strategy here.  Blue baseball cap with tape on the front and bill.  Put tanglefoot on the tape, put the hat on backwards and walk around the yard or wear it while mowing.  Always have a dozen or so of those f*ckers stuck to it when I'm done.

Looking north from Manchester about 20 minutes ago.

Occasional rumbles of thunder and dark clouds but storms are staying north of mby for now.

Kind of bummed, MVL and MPV only hit 89F officially.  It deserved 90F... the 5-minute data showed 90F but the rounding in the temperature conversion from C to F causes some false obs?  I know Dendy has explained it so many times.

Anyway, looks like the official 00z highs are:

LEB... 92F

BML... 91F

BTV... 90F

IZG... 89F

MVL... 89F

MPV... 89F

FIT... 88F

MHT... 88F

RUT... 87F

HIE... 87F

CON... 87F

DDH... 86F

BDL... 84F

ORH... 82F

BOS... 82F

HFD... 81F

IJD... 81F

LEW... 77F

PWM... 69F

 

Meanwhile GON was even cooler than PWM.  63 for a high yesterday.  66 the day before.  High was only 76 IMBY.

Not according to this

Your link is old. That May 19th directive was put out before the CDC made their statement late last week. Connecticut is done Wednesday.

Yeah, wouldn't be surprised that CT.gov hasn't updated their website yet.

He sold like 2.1mill shibes back on 5/11/20 when it was worth 0.002 maybe.

I’m such an idiot. I was that guy who was brushing it off since the get go but had I bought 10k coins at a penny for just a hundo (just in case), I’d be getting daily Krafts from the wife right about now. 

Don't get me started on being an idiot.  Screenshot is from when I sold all my Doge.  I'll let you guys do the math for the current price...
