    I wonder if the Euro loses some of its luster with more model runs?  Part of the suspense waiting for the Euro is you know it's only twice a day.

    Then again, the folks running that model know they can really raise their prices for the model data if they are doubling the amount it's provided per day.  Wonder if the Euro prices get real steep to access those 6z and 18z runs.

    Yup, and Yup.

    I suppose the doubling of the models could mean higher accuracy...or not, but I kind of like the twice daily format.

  2. ...Norwich Schools 2 hour delay due to Yantic River Flooding the streets.  

    Brooklyn Fairgrounds next to my apartment was flooded.  Small pond formed at the west entrance.  

    Good thing for the "Early Warning Weather", and "Weather Alert" forecasting. I was able to fend off any panic I might have had otherwise thanks to the forward thinking t.v. network producers and their eye catching slogans

    The 3 straight months of dews sadly ends tonight. But Lord, what a run we put on. A special one for those that enjoy summer. My favorite of my 45 years 

    Must not have been too enjoyable watching the dews rise while in the comfort of your AC.  I doubt you truly enjoyed the true effect of the dews.  You are spewing fake dew love.

    I went all summer in my apartment with zero AC.

    Can't see anything on that Frying Pan Shoals webcam anymore, but man is the sound of the wind intense. Holy crap.

    Yeah. It looks like they have the cam set to a past recorded feed now.

    Yeah there is no doubt that if you choose to stay, then you have to prepare for a long time without regular services like electricity and running water. If she hasn't prepared for that, then it is foolish to stay...especially if there are kids involved, who will have a tougher time adjusting to such conditions. I'm not sure I'd want to gamble the house would be fine anyway where she is because that area could still get some pretty big winds....like 100+ gusts could still be on the table there. Whats worse than not having electricity and water? Not having electricity and water without a roof over your head.

    The odd thing is when people talk about how well their house is built and all of this macho type talk about survival and "toughing it out".  It was probably mentioned before, but if you have a cat 5 resistant house then good for you.  But unless you have a completely self sustaining property to go along with it it won't matter if the one lane road is impassible for days, and there is no power, gas, or water as well.  ...Plus you make the job of the rescuers and other emergency people that much harder.

    It is better to evacuate and find out you didnt need to, than to not evacuate and have your roof blown off and your only bridge to the mainland under water, and not have a few weeks worth of supplies

    Definitely keep us informed on how your foolish friend makes out down there. 

  6. It looks like Kevin received the dream summer that he asked for last December while sitting on Santa’s lap.  

    It has been an unreal season of wall to wall high temps and high dews, possibly to be topped off with some tropical activity over the next few weeks.  

    Congrats to all who dreamed it into reality.  We couldn’t have suffered for the past 3+ months without your hard work and dedication to the cause.  I raise a sh*tty, stale bread tasting craft beer and toast in your honor.

    I mean she's not wrong. How many severe thunderstorm watches have we had that result in a couple branches down? How do we communicate the truly high end events?

    For the 15 towns hardest hit this was incredible - but for the other 154 towns in Connecticut this wasn't too big of a deal. All weather is local afterall. 

    She was looking for someone to tell her days in advance that the storm would do the kind of damage it did and in those locations.
