It’s been dumping that heavy , soaking small droplet rain all day. Has not stopped. . I ran in it this morning and it just keeps building overhead. The stuff adds up. No one could have seen or forecast that . It’s probably similar to the soaking upslope rains you get all the time. I’m not exactly sure, but I’d bet there’s some small scale upslope component to this stuff today 

Analog 850 inflow is very wet for you. Some knew

Some knew.. you will have 3 by the time this is done.. congrats

All of you were forecasting regional flooding and a few had 4-6” of rain for the area . None of those things happened. So sure there was more rain than I thought, but nothing like what you called for at various points the last  few days . Let’s look in the mirror and own up.

Congrats on nearly 3”… everyone wins.

We tried to tell him yesterday afternoon…he refused the good advice. Ya hate to see it. CT was always positioned to do well in this. Still raining here as we speak.

Stein dead and buried, and cremated here. When all is said and done..we’ll be upper 3’s to near 4” from this.  Yes, no flooding, which was good, but a soaking soaker for sure.

The amount of hype going around on this was insane. This was going to be nothing more but a much needed soaking rain for many...that is it. All these posts about models showing widespread 4-8" of rain, which by the way were showing jackpots across northwest CT and north when the axis of highest rains which much farther south which was mentioned of likely occurring. All this talk everywhere about flooding rains and blah blah. Steady soaking rain with a widespread 1-3" and of course some 3-6" amounts south where the axis ended up being....and of course spread out over a long duration. I mean were there even any flash flood warnings lol (maybe 1?).

One of the most overhyped rain events ever. Nothing more than a soaking rain but I guess since how everyone thinks we're a desert now 3-4" is alarming

Finally, getting good rains.

Ryan was concerned that some areas were in for flooding too…so what can you do? Modeling was throwing those ideas around.
