I may have hooked a good size shark on Marconi beach today on a big Kastmaster. Pulled 200yds of 50 pound braid off and never slowed down for a second. I was fumbling to crank down the drag to no avail whatsoever... If the line hadn't snapped when I grabbed the spool either the rod or I were going in. Zero chance.

This happened to ours too. We cut the flowers to take the weight off and help the stems stand up again. We'll see if they can be saved.
-
snow or folks can keep it
-
I'll believe the cry-wolf effect is still a thing as I breeze through the checkout line someday with a blizzard or a cane bearing down on us.
-
Good rains and getting breezy but we may slot here soon. And we will not be upset about it for once.
-
I just posted about this in the NYC thread but that 1hr record is a joke. The 3.78" in 2 hrs is nothing to sneeze at though.

A do gooder with a brush hog will accidentally render the entire climo record obsolete -
That is shockingly low/highly suspect. It should be more like a once every 15 year event or something by the rainfall climo maps.

Sort of agree here. It could end up a landphoon redux and we'd get significant impact.

One of Van Morrison's better ones

August Disco 2021. Do record dews continue?

This. Jelly of NNE, though did spend a few lovely days up there last weekend. Feel like I haven't seen the sun since. -
lights out there. yikes
-
Just as an aside, I like how there was a category 5 hurricane carol in 1953, and they felt compelled to reuse the name the very next year.

Nam has some subtle differences at h250 that might account for the shift east. Trough interacts with upstream features a tad more and can't go as negative. Allows for more bagginess offshore. Granted this is probably overanalysis, but something to keep an eye on when the GFS rolls in.
-
I tend to give a little more weight to the globals, particularly the euro in this situation than I might in the deep tropics. If we can mostly all agree that the weak trough over the MA and the strength and position of the ridging over the top will be the key determining factors, I think you'd have to give deference to those models designed to handle such. JMO. At present GFS and euro seem to be on the eastern side of the current model envelope.

FL winds 60+kts in the SE quadrant

I think you're onto something with the taxes certainly. Pretty sure player contracts are all USD though. Yes the teams are taking in CAD but most of the ownership groups in Canada are not hurting for money (big corps) and usually spend to the cap. The old Nordiques maybe were an exception.
-
worth noting, that Diane was a totally different track. Straight firehose, almost like Boxing day or something.
-
Seems like 16.8" was the max in Diane in CT. That would qualify as easily. Only the state's biggest flood ever.
-
FWIW, Diane (1955) is BOS all time record at 7". Not sure what the max was for that one.
-
we'll see who blows by a foot "easily"
-
I'll also sell a foot of rain. I'd have to see to believe that around these parts for sure. If it should happen I'll give props to folks.
-
so we've gone from Harvey redux and worse than Sandy to it's over with one GFS run...
-
given that the northern stream s/w today might drag in a little dry air into NNE especially behind it, with the next one situated well back west of the lakes, and an U/L ridge moving overhead, it's not a typical setup for a PRE. There may be some moisture advection out ahead through the baroclinic zone, but not a lot of lift to be had.
-
I'd think that slower motion would be a negative signal for wind, even accounting for duration, given the rapid weakening that would occur over cooler waters. Hydro concerns might be ramped up however.
