Just wanted to say, I am in the process of moving from downtown Brattleboro to Northampton (basically live in Northampton now). I always enjoyed up there seeing your OBS and stuff, the only other member who posted from that fair town. I lived there for 15 years (wow), from Boston, etc., now back in Mass., 40 miles down the road. I will still continue to go back and forth, so many connections in Bratt after living there so long, grew up going to Mount Snow, worked there a while back, Dad lived in West Marlboro and really like that town. It's sort of like a mini Northampton.

 

I never post much but have been here since beginning of 2010, when it formed, was on, I think it was called EasternMassWx or similar, posting/reading from when I lived in Providence, Rhode Island ten years (2000 - 2010)...moved to Bratt in 2010. Man I feel old now...haha, not really.

 

So...cheers!

Looks like a 2.08 three-day total from the last events here at a nearby PWS.  Total since June 1st is 13.12. Not quite DIT's 17.3, but I'll take it.  Hopefully those in the drought-stricken areas get some good soaking rainfall after this upcoming dry pattern.  

A little late here, but I just added up what we got from that ferocious front (just crazy downpours/wind/thunder for about a half hour), plus rain that evening and next morning:

Total is 1.27 inches, if my math is correct.

That's pretty good, but it is forecast to be dry, sunny, nice actually, but for next seven days. So...in summary, it's still wicked dry around here.

I knew it was drier a little to the North (old neighborhood--Braqttleboro), but anyway, too dry.

Edit to add: 

Wow, way worse farther North. I hadn't seen the summary/graphic yet.

Northeast Drought Summary

On this week’s map, widespread degradations were made on the map including expansion of areas of drought in West Virginia, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine. The most severe drought in the region is currently centered on areas of central Maine and northern portions of Vermont and New Hampshire. In these areas, numerous observing stations reported precipitation totals for the past three-month period that were in the top-5 driest on record including Barre, Vermont (-6.76-inch departure from normal; driest on record), Berlin, New Hampshire (-3.95 inches; driest on record), and Portland, Maine (-5.87 inches; 3rd driest on record), according to data from the Southeast Regional Climate Center (SERCC). Moreover, numerous streams and rivers across the region were reporting streamflows that are well below normal levels, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. For the week, much of the region was quite dry; however, some light rainfall accumulations (<2 inches) were observed across isolated areas New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Vermont. Average temperatures were below normal across most of the region, especially in the southern extent, where temperatures were 8 to 12 degrees F below normal.

probably just showers as we don't really have any instability around. 

Mm ...don't take that sneaky diving mid/u/a cold pool on Sunday for minimal, necessarily.   that looks likes like a gusty outflow hailer producer.   We have a west wind at the surface with NW at 700 mb, so we're taking our positive shear and rotating it around the dial, while the heights are rapidly falling at mid levels along with lower glaciation height through mid day with that diving aspect. 

It's prevalent on the overnight operational runs and is still D5/6 so the notion could vanquish... but that feature's been there in some for or another fairly consistently.  so we'll see. 06z gfs lost it but had in the 00z, ranging to the aggressive cmc... Euro's sort of in between.

certainly could see some showers/storms Saturday with that feature, though perhaps favored over the higher terrain? Sunday perhaps better suited for northern Maine.

You’ll need to post more, especially in the winter,  because we don’t have many people from Hampshire and Franklin counties.

Thanks, you said when I was posting a little (OBS, mostly) from Brattleboro that it was good to have someone up the road there, because no one else here was there. That sounded weird, but you get it, I am sure. This was before Primshine (?) moved there a couple years ago.

I have a little more time during my move, but will get super busy again with work and everything once I get all resettled here in a few weeks. As I have said, between work, Facebook, LinkedIn, Youtube and just life in general I am kinda booked a lot of the time. I always have and will continue to read and will post more than I have been. I like to keep my social media down to a manageable level or it gets way too time consuming, I have learned over many years. For me, it's just those things, and here, really.

I am just really glad to be back in my home state where I was born and raised, lived after college (all Boston/Newton), and would visit every couple years. Full circle and it is a good feeling. Now I can just chill more and travel to places I have lived and new ones when I have time.

BTW, one of the many photos I have from my trip back to Boston for my birthday a few weeks ago, on my way, sort of, here. Weather: drizzle, light rain, and that city still kicks everywhere else's ass. Heh...
