Interesting stat IMBY: The temp has been between 53 and 56 for over 24 hours now.

At least the power is back on now.

We had the same 3° (57/54) on Sept 27 during the 2.64" dump - smallest diurnal range we've had in September, though we've had 2° ranges in some other months and June 3, 2001 had 54/53, our only "onesie".

As expected, we had little rain or wind, 0.10" and maybe a "gust" of 10 mph. 
90%+ leaf drop here.  The big oak is still mostly green and there's a few sugar maples with 50% retention though most of that species is near leafless.

It gets easier to stagnate the diurnal temperature range in October ... particularly so once in the solar minimum, Nov 8 and beyond.  The sloping sun is oblique to cloud coverage and that's not very efficient radiative-thermal modulation with that low incidence.

I haven't seen any 3 day storm totals. Has anyone officially posted them?

Nah they can be stronger inland and have more precip. This one was primarily far eastern and srn areas. 

 

[Damage In Tolland]

Widespread 6-8” amounts from Plymouth to Kingston to Hull to S Wey

Yeah he's about 2 miles from me. He was a  smidge closer to the convergence zone yesterday, but just a touch less here. Guy in Hingham earlier had like 6.6". And it's still coming down in the form of small droplet sheet rains.

[wxsniss]

Messenger's back yard (may he RIP) in Plymouth must be pushing 8" at this point

That coastal front / area of convergence has been nearly stationary for >24 hours

Let's repeat late January

[Brian5671]

about 2 inches of much needed rain here.

[SouthCoastMA]

6.14" still pouring somehow 

[Snowedin]

Heavy drizzle and light rain still coming down. Probably getting close to 5” at this point. The persistence of these bands right along the shore has been just remarkable. As others have already noted, we’d probably be swimming in piles of powder if this were a mid winter event. Def one to remember for many!

Didn’t impact me but the one big fire hose I remember was like a week after the Great Blizzard of 2013. I think @ORH_wxman and points east got smoked.

March 6-8 2013. 2' in that here. It was from about ORH to Kev on east.

Just looked into that more for the first time, and man, what a beast. The wind gusts were legit. I miss the days of the big dogs. 

[Typhoon Tip]

We had a weird Nor'easter coastal in that era ... 2013 or so, whence NE Ma and SE Nh suffered a tropospheric fold event ... unusual because that typically happens on the SW/underside where the stinger is identified on sat and rad.  This was in the CCB tube; there were like 70 mph wind gusts doing a lot of power line and tree pruning work ....

it was all rain tho.  Late February too - man... a CCB with a tropospheric fold embedded - magine if that were snow?

heh, probably couldn't

22” here . That was the RI snowhole storm I think

There was one in Feb. 2010 iirc, though could be off. all rain. 70-80mph gusts near MHT and we lost power for 8 days.

I think that’s about 20 inches more than Greenfield got from that storm.

[MJOatleast7]

12/9/2005 was weird too ... from barely accumulating slop in Cambridge to sudden wild blizzard conditions (8 inches in 3hrs in BOS), thundersnow and hurricane force winds in SE MA, and then the sun out by the end of the day. Was that also a tropopause fold?

Yes the cape had gusts over 90 in that one

yeah no that's the one.  2010...   meh, 2013 .. 2010  ...it's all one big blur

Southern Maine had powerful winds - was interesting watching (on the tube) the waves blasting water 40 feet high then near -instantly being carried off by the wind.

We had little wind this far inland, just 33-35° RA on the same (modest here) NE wind that powered NYC's 20.9" snowicane.

[Baroclinic Zone]

Misery mist.

What’s the biggest wind event you’ve had there?

Also featured the worst standing wave of subsidence in RI I have ever seen. Cory nearly did himself in. 

[SouthCoastMA]

6.60"..just persistent steady rain

outside of January, I could see this a big rainer with maybe elevation snows 

 5 days later, has that misery look outside of a VERY cold anedecent airmass
