  1. Looks like parts of interior New England got a nice, heavy paste job overnight and this morning. Some pretty impressive totals coming in from a few locations.
  2. 39 on the weather station when I left for work at 6am. Saw a gorgeous sunrise on my way to the office - beautiful morning!
  3. Finished yesterday with .01" of rain. Despite that, grass needs mowed every 4 days or so right now.
  4. This would be a rare time when the GFS might be wrong...
  5. And unless it's exceptionally dry...I'd gladly steal the cold any day, any time. With that, a little light rain has begun falling here. Temp down from 61 to 59.
  6. Nothing here in the historic district...yet. Rouzerville stole my snow in the winter and the general theme of thievery apparently continues into spring...
  7. Thanks for finding and posting that! I drove around the "Boro" yesterday (I grew up right outside of Washington Boro) and the evidence is there...still a lot of standing water on 441 between Columbia and WB, mud everywhere, and vegetation flattened. Also confirmed that the highest (6") amounts were centered right on 999 near the Tomato Barn. I'm hesitant to post info based on hearsay as I've been burned before, but as I said yesterday, the people who were talking to me know what they're talking about. Nice to have it confirmed!
  8. Did anyone here record an outrageous amount of rain on Sunday night? I know that some of you posted storm totals of 1-2" (I had a weekend total of 1.11") but I was talking to 2 reputable people here at work that have rain gauges - for those that know the area around Washington Boro, there must have been a deluge Sunday night. Like a real deluge. One guy recorded 4.94", another recorded 6.06". Both said that it all fell in our hour. By the way, the 2 of them live less than a half mile apart. This seemed to be an extremely isolated "event" that I saw no news coverage of, but there are folks in the Washington Boro area that saw flower beds washed away, water in basements, etc. I see nothing remotely close to those totals in surrounding areas. But I absolutely believe it happened.
  9. Where did she learn those words?... Sad thing is, it's been warmer over your way.
  10. I think maybe my house has a cooling effect on the low-level temps around me.
  11. She's getting there - it was a little too warm to have the windows open though, so in this house the ceiling fans are on high with the central AC chugging along...
  12. @Bubbler86 - 35th consecutive hour here the temperature has stayed between 47 and 52 degrees. Likely to rise above 52 in the next hour or 2, but I remember you talking last week about temps not really fluctuating much over a 2 day period. Currently 49.3 here.
  13. Yep, it's only run twice since I've been home.
  14. Just got home from the office - 50 when I left home at 6am, all the way up to 52 now. Perfect short-sleeve weather today.
  15. Probably doesn't help that admittedly, I am a very literal person. I drive people crazy because of how particular I can be - if I ask for "a couple" of one thing or another, I expect to receive 2. That is a couple to me. Not 3 or 4...2. 3 is a few. 4 is several.
  16. A severe thunderstorm contains winds greater than 58 mph and/or hail greater than 1" in diameter. That is the book definition. That is what CTP would be measured by for forecast accuracy. There is no lightning criteria. I know what you are trying to say - we can agree to disagree on this.
  17. Seems like for some time now that my rain totals have been higher than most - certainly not yesterday. Finished with .94" here. Not complaining!
  18. What happened or didn't happen previously doesn't change the fact that last night's storms were not severe. There is specific criteria for a storm to reach severe level, just like there is with winter storms. Sorry - if CTP would have issued a warning, it would have been a failed forecast.
  19. Non-weather observation: the O's have returned to the form that I know all too well...
  20. 73 and full sun. CTP was discussing last night that the weather that most of us are experiencing was what they expected - the idea that it would rain for much of the day was off the table yesterday.
  21. Interesting - hasn't rained here for several hours, everything is dried off, and there are peeks of sun...
  22. I was hoping for a significant storm regardless of precip type later on next week - for now, CTP removed all mention of precip and is dry all week. Also looks like much less rain during the day tomorrow after what hopefully will be a pretty good soaking overnight tonight.
  23. 68 and party sunny here. Just back from a walk and dare I say for the first time this year it feels a little muggy out there.
