RUNNAWAYICEBERG Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 6 minutes ago, Typhoon Tip said: It does actually strike me as an interesting point ... that 'here' - ness of it all.. Heh. Up here in N-central Massachusetts, along Rt 2/Mohawk trail blah blah ..it's been fantastic. Perhaps not so much down there in the drainage ditch of CT... ha ha. Just kidding - But the cloud and sun ratio is available data. Perhaps someone wants to geek it for a bit and put together those graphics.. Even comparing to other seasons and climo on the matter. That would put some empirical weight behind it and offer some 'righteous indignation' for the 'horrible' summer. I'm actually curious. I mean, this is a weather forum.. that's a real sensible element of it - I’d be happy to see dxr or oxc data. Of course there have been ‘good’ days mixed in but this area has been under monsoon type stuff for over a month now. Crap mornings followed by break of sun and high dews, before the evening storms and rain. Weekends have been prone to washouts which severly overweighs any good weekdays too. So while it may be 50/50 or better, it just isnt that way for working families in the west zones. If you’re a teacher out east you’re singing a different tune. There’s only so many hours during the week to get stuff done outdoors when you get home at 7pm, and when those are washed out from storms....followed by miserable weekends, it’s a terrible stretch.

kdxken Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 From New Jersey - "As the summer rolls on, this will be the twelfth weekend since Memorial Day Weekend. A whopping nine of those weekends have seen measurable rain somewhere in the Garden State. (The exceptions are 6/16-6/17, 6/30-7/1, and 7/7-7/8.) Of course, that tally includes this Saturday and Sunday — which neither day looks like a total washout, the weekend certainly looks predominately wet."

WNE from SW VT so SW CT has been brutal. I'm well over 10" of rain in the past 5-6 weeks and my friends in Dover VT are over 13" It has been horrible for kids, pets and anyone who has to work outside. If this winter tries to revert our (WNE) precipitation back to average I will snap, drive down to pick you up and we can drive around the NE taking weather radars out as we go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a good record of sunshine climo already so I don’t really see the big deal in continuing with it. I’d rather have 25kft ceilometers at every site.
