moneypitmike Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 .89" so far. If the batch approaching the NY/VT/MA border can hold together, I could break the inch mark. That will be respectable in a few months. 71.3/68 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginx snewx Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 For these parts maybe, but for the vast majority of the country March is not a winter month. That's why a lot of local studies involving winter weather uses DJFM as the window. So September is cool season but March is not, lol makes perfect sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whineminster Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Says who? Climo speak says there's a warm and a cool season. Winter is definitely called "cool season" not "cold season." DIT, Forky, and Me. No one thinks of winter as "cool"....its freezing cold...literally. And summer is hot, 80+ is hot for New England. Next time it's 10 degrees outside for a high in January I'll just call it "cool" outside and put a light shawl on, after all its not cold outside.

tamarack Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 The Koppen climate classifications put Boston as "hot summer continental" (warmest month avg temp >22C) and CON as "warm summer continental" (no months warmer than 22C.) So pick your adjectives wisely. After an hour-plus of very light rain (just above miserymist level), it's just picked up again. AUG ASOS had only recorded 0.07" thru 2 PM, but puddles here suggest 3 times that much by then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Flash flood warning now just north of ALB. Radar showing some 3-4" amounts in the northern Capital District area. Gotta be some urban flash flooding with those amounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is you're stuck in your backyard. These naming conventions are meant for the synoptic scale, covering large portions of the country or continent at a time. Yep, winter is cold in New England, but it's cool in Tennessee, and downright warm in Florida. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoth Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Miserable afternoon with more or less ceaseless rain. Lawn is soaking it up though. Went for a paddleboard and swim since I figured I'd get wet anyway. Actually kind of nice for paddling. Flat calm on the Sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moneypitmike Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Why would you expect that? The line looks fairly solid at this point with heavy rain. It appears that there is a consoldation of heavier returns heading on the VT side of the border and another heavier batch (now elongating that appears to extrapolate just south of me. To be clear--I said "much of the rain", not that I wouldn't get any. Besides, you know I don't get my qpf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamarack Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Moderate RA in Augusta for an hour now, with some fresh breezes to throw it at the windows. Some puddles in the grass now, which usually takes 1/2" or more (unless it all comes in about 5 minutes.) Watched the radar loop as all those nice 30-35 dbz echoes diminished to 15-20 as they approached my home area, then built back to 25-30 after passing to the NE. Hope that's a radar quirk rather than reality, though the Doppler estimate has me at under 0.30" with not much left to come. Hope that's wrong as well.
