Hoth

Neighbor's house has several trees down in the yard. Of course I wasn't home lol. FML.

Mum reports yard is covered in maple branches. Impressive considering we just lost a ton a few weeks ago.

Facing the wrong direction unfortunately.

Mother in Hamden reports it is pitch black. Can barely see the birch in their yard. Lightning and whipping trees.

Wiz in a good spot. My aunt was in the inflow notch area of the first storm in Watertown and reports wind and raining buckets.

Two tornado warned cells now. Good luck west of the river folks. You finally pulled one off lol.

Wish I was in Hamden for this. Gonna be a wild afternoon there.

These showers and cloud debris need to clear out. 70 with occasional breaks of sun. Also, wind suddenly sprang up from the south.

Cloud debris, as usual.

I remember there was a day maybe ten or twelve years ago that looked like a historic NE outbreak. I seem to recall the SPC had a 10 or 15% hatched tornado for us in the outlook. Shear was awesome, instability was sufficient, strong trigger....but we overlooked the lapse rates, which were awful. Lo and behold, whatever updrafts tried to go up were feeble and just got blown over by the shear. Brutal bust, so painful I can't even recall when that day was. Edit: found it. June 6, 2010. 80 kt jet, 60 kt bulk shear, raging llj, 45% hatched wind, 10% tornado. Epic epic bust.

Lapse rates of like 5 degrees would probably work. Don't think the atmosphere will oblige us. Maybe the warm front gets hung up across NY and never makes it in here...

You need to change your name to Damage In Southbury.

6/1/11 in eastern NY perhaps.

Firenado warnings flying tomorrow?

I can't get excited for severe until I know Wiz is trapped scoring a baseball game or something.

They've actually closed the auto road during the pandemic (which has been great for me as a runner). You can still walk to the top, if you're so inclined. The view is superb.

July '89 has entered the chat?

That's quite impressive for a Day 2 outlook.

Ryan's honking on this one.

Since you made similar time of death declarations for the 2017 season a week before the Atlantic went bonkers, I'll take your thoughts as another favorable data point for a hyperactive peak.

Amen to that.

That hole is a treasure. Between the ocean and the pit, it's also claimed more balls than all the others combined. Course looks to be in good shape. Not nearly as burnt out as I would've guessed given the dry conditions recently.

Looks like the meso is on the ground. Where's Wiz!?

Wickham Park?

I cannot believe I'm seeing snow mid-afternoon on May 9, with the sun out. This is surreal against a backdrop of tropical green grass, flowers and leafed out trees. Not even mangled flakes. Almost fluffy.
