You did way better than here.  That second line of storms came together just SE of here.  Nearby PWS station was only .06 here on the day.  

Looks like more on the way.

Shitty pic, but you can see the rain shafts in the distance.

At least that’s salvageable and it didn’t snap at the graft. 

Pulled it back up, triple staked it and got it firmed in.  Other than one small broken twig, it looked okay and roots looked fine.

That stuff to your west should reach you, unless it fizzles

Today got us to 8” of rain for the month to date. The drought can s*%^ it

[CoastalWx]

Big rainbow now 

[TauntonBlizzard2013]

Heavy stuff north and south. We split here.

[CoastalWx]

.6” here. Much needed. Let’s get 2-3” Monday. 

[SouthCoastMA]

Damn!

Drove up to Lebanon (I had no idea Woodstock got hit otherwise I would have surveyed the damage) and then drove back down 91 through some hellacious rain. Most brutal driving I've done in the rain since Dorian in NC. 

Encountered some scattered damage along the way. Nothing crazy. Got some great shots though. 

Great day overall for me.

Raining for the second time today.

So much for “stein”, and so much for anything remotely interesting despite what a couple of people kept harping on.

Sad

Stein wins.  After that sorry excuse for a storm, two nearby PWS stations are at .24 for the month.  Hopefully Monday holds.  

lol....Stein won out for some, he's always lurking

[Torch Tiger]

Decent drink in this general area - I didn't look but guessing .75" to 1" or so

[weatherwiz]

Today worked out pretty well. Performed as it should have

Lovers' quarrel?

I'm just tired of the Debbie Downer attitude from CoastalWx.  Might as well call him EEYORE!

We are in the 3rd flash flood watch since last Friday.  The first 2 provided 1.43" but flow on the local 4th-order watercourse (Sandy River) has barely stayed above the 25th percentile.  The initial watch verified in a small area around Conway NH with reports of 3-5" and quick flooding, while 99%+ of the watch areas had a nice drink.

Nice drink?

They even  canceled an afternoon event at the school here because of the stupid hype. 

Now that's stupid.  What, now cancel everything for a slight risk of svr?  We can't be "held hostage" by the wx for the mere fact there is risk out there! 

I am reminded of the 2009-10 winter when DCA got slammed and CoastalWx was shutout.  The hype was SO out of control, locations in the Northeast such as BUF, that were not going to see a single flake of snow, they cancelled things b/c of the crazy storm hype.  I recall OCMs from YYZ at an AMS conference in 2012 stating the stupid hype from the U.S. stations bleed into Canada, and that was messing things up in Toronto!

This is one reason why I slam the MSM so much, this constant hype and installing fear is counterproductive for society.  There are real social and economic costs/losses b/c of being put in a state of alert all the time.  Every inclement wx is treated as "so dangerous."   The ordinary gets turned into the extraordinary needlessly.  How did society ever survive and progress back in the day before all this nonsense?

Society is being turned into a bunch of softies, unable to handle physically or psychologically any risk/hazard.

While I can watch footage of impressive events for severe and snow, if it’s not near my backyard….tough for me to really be excited. As Felger would do…”finger in mouth” pop…whee..yay!!

Especially for convection. I’m more excited when Ray gets 20” and I get 2” vs convection around these parts. Unless it’s a locked in deal. 

[powderfreak]

Seems like Woodstock, VT saw a legit EF1 or EF2 tornado based on the photos and drone images.

Enough to peel some roofing off and level trees.

985 mb near Montreal is pretty damn impressive for mid June climo 

Yes it is!  For comparison, the July 10, 1989 "WxWiz PT event" (most spinners on record in one day in New England (9) and largest NEUS outbreak for spinners adding in ern NY/LI and nrn NJ (17), the sfc low that tracked across srn Quebec and nrn ME deepened "only" from 1000 to 998 mb during the event.  However, this event had an excellent EML, and no upstream convection the day before, so EML pure!

anecdote warning:  I recorded the June 1, 2011 tornado that crossed through Springfield from my office window, so I encourage you to keep an open mind     

Well, CoastalWx had a spinner in Weymouth a few years ago, and he is still EEYORE!  How many of us can claim we had a spinner in New England history in their hometown, given how many cities/towns there are?  My claim to fame is an F2 in late Oct 1925 in Woburn - the strongest spinner for so late in the season in New England.
