So you don’t watch any TV? Or listen to any radio?   Wow…hmm. 

I know this wasn't directed at me, but, yes. Haven't had cable or any subscription TV service for over a decade. Don't listen to any radio stations either.  Ad-free YouTube music, physical dvds/blu-rays for movies/shows. Cancelled amazon prime because they started showing ads. Fuck all that noise.

All dry air . None of that reaches ground. NE extent always overdone . 

Possibly just dry air for you. I expect we'll get at least little bit of precip down here. Good for the weeds.

Looks like Steinbrenner NE of HFD-GON or so

NAMS are a soaker here-too bad it's on a weekend yet again

Better that we can refresh the water table and have it be nasty vs just nasty drizzle that does nothing but ruin a day (or here often multiple days).

Unfortunately, this crap pattern is probably going to persist at least through the first few weeks of May. These types of patterns aren't ones that tend to break down quickly either.

We can hope high pressure wins out over SE canada-it would be cool but at least we could get some sun.

Yeah it's not going to be doom and gloom 100% of the time. We'll have our mix of pleasant days and crap day, it's just the crap days may win out. So, we just take the pleasant days we can and hope they happen on the weekend. For the most part its just going to be a bit on the cool side, but with climatological maxes slowly creeping up, even the "cool days" with respect to climo won't be too bad.

Nice dry Sunday, we'll take that.

It rained for ours back in the infamous summer of 2009.   Had 50 people inside my house lol.

[kdxken]

Sweet day today. Lucked into acres of black locust. The only wood I will travel for. Pretty little farm too...

Can’t remember the last time I turned on a radio, in the car or elsewhere.

Min of 24F.

I’m a SiriusXM subscriber. I don’t remember the last time I tuned in a terrestrial radio station.

Once that came out I was done with radio.  Much better selection/no commercials.   And now you have pandora/spotify-so many other better options.

BDR looks like it could use it. Has it been that dry there or just BDR missed out?

 

[Damage In Tolland]

Be careful with NAM when it’s alone on precip like that . Usually too high and too far E

Yes sir.  We got 8-9” with that one…great lil storm.  Except that came in/down from the NW.

Interestingly, DVDs and CDs are pretty popular on the used market these days.

Congrats Anthony, sorry the weather sucks. We had one of my daughters in May 2005, when we were stuck in the wheel of Rhea up here. After the baptism I was grilling on the deck while my late dad held the massive outside table umbrella over me, just a horrific weekend. You will still enjoy, it is all good.
