Logan is referenced all the time. Have an intern look up the coops and they’ll see it’s off by 2-3” total LEQ for the late Jan and late Feb snow events. But the media just blindly runs with it.

Truth

Stream flow is low, but severe makes it sound like everything is drying up.

The problem is their methodology. If we have lower precip winter, they count as a negative. But in winter, all the precip it’s either going into the ground or to the lake and rivers, etc. Nothing is absorbing it. So it makes it look like we are El Paso but it’s just kind of silly if you asked me. It’s definitely been dry but extreme is kind of ridiculous. We actually had decent rain last summer too.

The drought stuff is out of control. There’s so many Mets out there that just blindly take Logan‘s record and run with it and make it look like that’s everyone across southern New England. It’s pretty obvious the two big snowstorms caused issues with catching the right amount of LEQ because all the other co-ops around Logan have a lot more from those two storms in terms of liquid equivalent than the ASOS. It’s not hard to dig a little deeper and see that. Yes it’s obviously been dry but not the record amount that’s being touted. People just diminish the science so much lately.

All I know is after this weekend deep summer is canceled UFN.

77 instead of 72. Big effing deal.

Even the model surface temps had 90s here. I have no idea what they were looking at.

As long as it rains in Templeton fine by me.

The strait of dews will be open in a few days. We have a very very good deal with the gulf on the table.

Ridge centers in the plains 11-15 day. I’m also hearing July may be cancelled.

Cancelled like a Trump ceasefire

It’s cancelled. 75-83 is Fall.

Looks like summer is cancelled after this weekend.

At least we got a tenth last night.
