Cold Miser

The drive back on I-84 was interesting last night. At around 5:30 I was heading out on the Eastbound side and it was literally only raining on the westbound lanes. I could see the rain pouring down on the cars going westbound while I was dry in the eastbound lanes. This lasted from exit 68 - Tolland to exit 69 -Willington. At the same time I could see the blackness lingering off to the north and east. As soon as I got off of exit 69 I was hit with torrential downpours and I think some hail. Then I actually saw the end of the rainbow. It ended (or began) right in the shrubs in front of a house off of route 74. The arc was super low and went right over my car into this guy's yard. I did not see a pot of gold so this must have been the beginning.

Paper is a waste of time at this point. Just bend over in the shower and rinse, or step outside and use the neighbor's hose.

I looked googled the term "non-event". Funny thing was that the system that roared through last night was listed as the number one definition. It literally sprinkled for about 25 minutes after 11pm. There was a slight breeze for some time, but nothing out of the ordinary.

lol. You truly have pitched a pants tent over this.

I read the advanced copy of the Farmers Almanac into the year 2022. It says nothing about tropical anything coming to New England. Plus there are no snowstorms noted either.

...lol. Oh, I forgot about that one.

Dare I ask what the "D" is? Dry? Dews? Dunkin? Darwin?

Should have posted this in the, Saturday, July 11th, 2020 Euro thread. But since you put it in this thread you might as well leave it here.

@Damage In Tolland sitting in his air conditioned basement, laughing, praying and hoping for endless heat...endless until October that is.

Pepperidge Farm remembers too.

Was that 14' in Maine the max snow from this system? Pretty impressive for going into mid-May.

Depressing

lol. True. What's a bit of damp grass to get in the way of mowing day? Gotta mow, when you gotta mow.

Frost in late August, early Sept. for you? Crap.

Old Forge NY. Couple of inches.

To be fair, I did see a few people post links on facebook from some main stream news site about a historic winter event in the north east. I did not click the link because I assumed it was garbage, so I am not sure how "widespread " it was noted. It might have even been an NBC link.

Sun poking out, but a few flakes flying as well. Strange scene.

Just looking to see if there is any interest in a zoom or other type of gtg some day/night. Weenies drinking brews, and showing off their custom made face masks all while safely tucked in the comfort of their own homes. It doesn't' have to be hard core where everyone is staring at a camera for multiple hours...Maybe just set like a time frame and people can come in and out as they please, with the camera in the background. Something like this might even work better on a weeknight. Just throwing this out there to see if it sticks. If it is a dumb idea then just let it drift to the back of the bus.

I am bad with dates but... March 93 Snow April 97 Snow Some insane heatwave in like July/August of 91. Irene 2 other snowstorms in the past 7 years, but I don't recall the dates without going into my archives which are at home. (I was in Rockland County NY during Sandy, which was a bigger event down there)

Picked up .5 earlier.

My 19.5 was right near that 21.1. I should have given you that number.

19.5 total for me (including the final burst last night) but I do think me and you shorted ourselves by an inch or 2. I measured 19" @ 5pm. My first and only measurement of the day. No board clearing.

lol. He actually said that in a live statement, pointing you out?

13.5" Brooklyn. Not my measurement but measurement from my daughter. I have taught her not to be a slant sticker but she could be off. Edit: 13.75
