Huge sigh of fresh air from all New Englanders who inhaled the fresh air. So nice to have strong winds blowing that crap OTS. People will be much happier this week.

Parts of CNE have been screwed on precip. but yeah, historically wet for many. Here is a map of rainfall departures from normal over the past 90 days. Really interesting. Dry in NNE. A very sharp dividing line in CNE with a swath of excessive rainfall just south of me. Then it gets dry SE of the Boston area. Southern VT, NH, Conn and Central Mass just got hammered with Tstorm after Tstorm this summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alex Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Down to 52 here. Getting close to having to turn the heat on! I noticed today that the trees are no longer the uniform deep green, and you can start seeing more muted greens and somewhat orangish hues mixed in on the tops. It's coming!

Baroclinic Zone Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 66/64 never felt so nice with the falling mist. Yesterday turned nice in the early afternoon for a few hours with the sun and the stiff breeze. Even with the door and windows wide open , my house was still running around 75-76F.

Still haven't mowed mine. I want to say around the 2nd week of July was the last time I did it. I can say it needs mowing now. My not cutting it has kept it remarkably green so I got that going for me. I just haven't had any time to do any outdoor yard work with my work hours. Outdoor activities are low on the priority list right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamarack Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 15 hours ago, CTValleySnowMan said: Yeah. BDL just south of here is 8.81 for August so far. Damp times. Couple more decent TS and they could threaten to pass 2011 for 2nd rainiest August. I think 1955 is safe. Weekend deluge brought 0.03" here as we got 7-10'ed twice, and that total appears to be the lowest 2-day total (cocorahs obs for 18th-19th) of ay of the =/- 100 Maine observers who reported during that time. No complaints, as my 0.58" ranked 3rd from the top for the 15th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did it on the handful of days when there was measurable precip in the county, but none IMBY. Curious about the days when the radar was clear all day.

Random but do you think it's unreasonable to think that some portions of the Hawaiian Islands could see potential winds gusts of 75-90 mph with Lane? (Assuming something like the GFS pans out).
