.84 inches here so far. Radar looks like it’s gonna be a New London county on east kinda storm. 

NAMS and EURO too far west yet again....we only got about .65 here

[CoastalWx]

Downright brutal out there. Worse than anything this winter. 

[CoastalWx]

Broken Norway, baby. Right on my street.

[ineedsnow]

Just looked at the drops hitting the top of the car it looks like something is trying to mix in

It’s unbelievable. Why can we never seem to get these storms to line up like this in the middle of the winter and instead we get them in the ass end of May? It’s friggin dumping out there right now.

Fucking oak dongs clogged my gutters.

What the hell is an oak dong? I thought oaks just had leaves?

Catkins that hold the male pollen.  Some of them are 4-5".  Looks like Kev will be fighting the acorn battle in 2026 (red oak acorns take 2 years to mature).

Just cloudy here, maybe get wet by 9-10 this evening.

Thank you for your professional and mature explanation.  

 

I have various oaks. Some species certainly worse than others. I should post pics here and see what you can identify.

Congrats to all on the 2-4”, lollis to 6”.

[wxeyeNH]

39.6F  Light to moderate rain.  Looking for catpaws.  None yet.

[SouthCoastMA]

Incoming..

 

[wxeyeNH]

39.1F  Moderate rain with the first catpaws mixing in.  Of course no one would me would ever know it but the car windshield reveals they are there.

Went up to 3,300ft and hit snowflakes around 3,000ft.  No accumulation but legit snowing at 3,200ft+.

Summit cam shows accumulation at 4,000ft.  I wasn’t in a position to get over there and man, that was some brutal weather conditions to be outside in for 2 hours.

Walking through wind driven rain 1500-3000ft to see some flakes, ha.  Was thoroughly cold and wet when I hit the car again.

[dendrite]

40.7° -RA/RA

Some brightbanding is moving in. Maybe we can mix down a few splatties.

[CoastalWx]

Gonna be insane amounts on RT 3 corridor south of Boston. That LLJ just hitting a wall there 

[dendrite]

Miller St Park at 2200’ is down to 35° as of 6pm. Mitch is 36.6°

I almost feel bad for them. Likely huddled next to the burners on the stove.

I was on a different part of the mountain… would’ve been out there for hours working over to 4kft.

I know, I failed.  We try again tomorrow.  Damn did a hot shower feel good though.

Ask me how many trees I cut today. The answer would be none. Nasty...

42° with windswept showers here right now.

Debating whether I should fire up the woodstove or not.

[Modfan2]

Where was this storm this winter?!?! My god Kevin and Ineed would be Zoom calling naked snow angels to each other at this point. 

[ineedsnow]

Almost looks like a little low forming near Norwich on radar

Have had ours going-- fueled by pieces of a big dead oak, casualty of the caterpillar catastrophe of a few years ago-- that finally gave up the ghost with a huge splintering crash into our backyard a day or so after the violent downburst took out big chunks of several of our prized maples. As for the big oak, at least it came down well seasoned and ready to burn.

I think my total rainfall in may will exceed my total snowfall for the season.
