Last Sunday.

So cool. Could be wrong but  looks like a Farmall H? Had one for many years. Tough to kill.

Farmall 230, actually.

Weird exhaust manifold. Odd sized pipe, it’s why the muffler looks crooked.

Just showers. Any rain is south coast of Connecticut to New York City. Or so some say.

They 3rd party muffler was a staple for everyone I have ever seen.

Yep, that looks almost exactly like the third party muffler I had on the H.

Did I miss something? What is Vortex’s fascination with tagging Coastal on everything?

He has the most posts and complains the most, so he has "earned" it! I worked w/ him for 10 years and he is the uber-est weenie I have ever known when it comes to winter, and he was never shy to tell me "SNE stinks for SVR!"  So we have "that kind of wx rapport!"

SNE is a snow weenie capitol. Not convection. Always has been.

Well, you could have fooled me prior to Jan 2026!  "It never snows anymore!" said how many times?  Even after two 20"+ storms in Weymouth, I still heard complaints!

Plus you can’t be negative when you’re right.

Congrats Dover DE

The pot calling...   "It won't happen" goes far beyond just convection.

Another miss of rain today.   I'm at 1.66" for July and .87" for August.  That is from the Davis Vantage Pro 2.  During one brief heavy downpour it did rain extremely hard so it might have missed a slight bit.  Still it is extremely dry!  Watch what happens this weekend.  I just looked at the 18Z GFS.  Things fall apart yet again for me?  Arrgghhh...

I always give my reasons though. This is behaving as expected so far. I don’t expect much here just hoping for half inch.

Part of the problem is that you are always IMBY.  I seem to recall, "if it is not within 5 mi of Weymouth, MEH!"  You can't think like that for tstms, and even synoptic-scale R/S.

You watch, when the next HU hits, you will still find issues.  "I was supposed to get 120 mph gusts, and I only got 90!"  And yet almost every tree in your neighborhood will be down or damaged and you will have no power for 3 weeks.

I thoroughly enjoy landfilling canes or big tornado outbreaks. But if a supercell is moving through the shallow graves of srn VT boonies I couldn’t care less.

Don't say that around @weatherwiz!

May I remind you, this is a New England forum, not a Weymouth one!

Wagons north for the weenies with the last near decade of futility.
