Your ignorance is showing. My pumping rates have everything to do with rainfall. Been doing this for 20 years. .

I work at the NYC DEP WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT in Manhattan and can tell you we are pumping max design flow of 350 Million Gallons right now. Half inch my ass. .

So far nothing to write home about. Just some wind and a shower. If this was a snow event people would be writing “storm cancelled” posts. I realize the main event is tonight into tomorrow. .

Go back to the satellite imagery and you’ll see all those fires ignited all at the same time. It’s not a coincidence it’s on purpose and it’s not by campers. .

A period of heavy rain in Dutchess County around 4 pm otherwise just showers. Nothing to speak of. .

Some light rain this morning and this afternoon all the storms went north and south of me. The pavement is literally dry. I really wanted a nice soaking today. One last shot of a storm over the next hour and then that’s it. .

Power came back around Noon, it’s been out since the 4th. I have a full house generator so it wasn’t an issue. Just had no internet and couldn’t even make a phone call or send a text but that came back as well. .

Suprised all is quite here after last nights severe thunderstorms. 35,000 people in Dutchess had no power last night. We have been on generator power since 3 am. Trees down everywhere, hail, lightnight and 70 to 80 MPH winds ripped everything up that wasnt tied down. CoCoRaHS measured 1.60 inches of rain near me but i would say it was twice that amount. I havent seen a storm like this in many years.

Severe Thunderstorm to my North brought in cool temps and ruined my chances for a nice soaking rain with the line that came through around 8pm. .

Snow showers up here today. Cold and damp always a bad combination.

Close to 80° with snow cover. That’s a first for me. .

Almost Gone. .

All the schools up here are closed today. I really enjoyed this winter with the solid snow cover from December to March. First half was great with all the clippers and then the big snow in January. I really wish we had another big snow on top of that one just for the experience. I got about 10” from the blizzard which obviously was nothing compared to Westchester and the coast. I’m going to miss the snow and wouldn’t mind winter to continue until April. To me today is a nice cold and snowy day with snow on the trees and shrubs. Very picturesque. .

2" at the homestead. Slow going into the city from Dutchess County. No roads were salted until I reached Yonkers on the Saw Mill.

Bernie Rayo said only a 15% chance of a storm next week. Those who know, know.
