Will be not much more than .25”

The batch that moved thru here and now East CT is yours next. Should end up in the .40-.50 range

there are more than enough smart and willing people that can code/compile/edit an app that simple, and inexpensively

Wut? Geezer what exactly is your problem. I just wanted to share my site for free. Why the hate?

I think it's very good. Haven't played around with it much. Can you link to thredex data?

Ever Notice TouchTiger never shares links or assists anyone. Never says thanks when someone posts pay per view or answers his question. He is despised here and doesn't know it.

Did they seem generous with credits or did you have to keep upgrading? 

I am paying 50 monthly. 5 dollars a month for all the domains. I dropped my pay sites so it isn't a problem. If anyone wants to donate they can but its free for all. I don't know a site that has all the features I have on the facing page with zero new pages opening to view data and will update as requested or if I want something else to add. Build your own super ensemble wether short or long term.

[CoastalWx]

Half inch over the last few weeks. Webbed hands all over. 

[CoastalWx]

.52 here. About what I expected. Nasty raw day and the clearing line as the sun was setting was a nice kick in the groin.

Today’s Boston Globe has a good article about the May 1977 snowstorm.  
 

here’s the link, but I’m pretty sure it’s probably paywalled:

Oh what could have been if winter didn't disappear and March and April in 1977. It was already a big snow year as it was, but it could have been even bigger if March and April didn't absolutely torch.

More recently, there was a snow on May 9, 2020 (as well as a freeze on May 18, 2023). Those events happened after very warm and low snow winters.

.54” here in E CT,  lawn is happy.

[CoastalWx]

Some showers and iso storms today. Otherwise nice day when this burns off.

[Damage In Tolland]

Looking at stations S Wey area had .31-.42

We knew 

[dendrite]

Yeah mid level deck is moving out…just gotta mix out the low level crud.

47.6°

[moneypitmike]

Area stations here at the new Pit1 are less than .25.  It was still a cold and miserable day--typical spring day on the coast. 

I really wish I were at a  point when I could be worrying about the TOTAL DISASTER which is the lawn here.

Might be seeing the formulation of a heat wave in the D9-12 range.   Obviously, given that time range this is highly speculative... but it is speculation born of recent clad trends from both the index suggestions, and these operational versions.    More so the Euro and CMC, but at least ( shockingly so) the GFS is willing to let go of the winter anchoring curvature characterization of the hemisphere in lieu of more seasonally appropriate retreat of the polar jet.    Anyway, the polar indices are non-interfering, whist the PNA goes negative and once into deep May+ ... any time really, but that is am early warm departure signal.   

CMC is a Sonoran heat release, btw

Heat wave in the extended or not, there are really coherent seasonal changes occurring this week in the general tapestry of the guidance. It's always interesting to me to track these trigger weeks, year to year.  They come at different times.... some years earlier or later.  It's basically when blue line on the charts escape to deep Canada, and the gradient in the non-hydrostatic heights ( the other lines  ) slacken in gradient.   This next 60 or 72 hours could very well be the last of the frost risk trough incursions, Lakes to NE region..

Man the drought talk is out of control. Everything is pretty much at normal levels like the Quabbin. The same areas in supposed moderate drought. 

[Typhoon Tip]

we'll see... 

looks so far like one of those days where the satellite always looks like it's moments away from improving sky conditions yet it's always cloudy. 

Relatively mild tho.   Clouds not meaning mid 40s is a pleasant change. 

Tomorrow's the gem.  At least per 06z NAM grids.   That's d-slope, light wind, zero cloud, under +2 or 3C at 850 mb  powdered MOS bust just add sun.  Right now they are 64 to 66 around the BDL-ASH horn, but that reeks of 2 or 3 F bounce bust to me. 

Nice.  establishing a precedence early to target butt fuck all weekends straight through to the Fall 

[jbenedet]

Drought? 

[kdxken]

Sign me up for some '70s. Be nice for a change.
