Yeah - it's covering the ground in mid/southern-Litchfield County - and the heaviest stuff hasn't even started yet here.

No, it's not my imagination - hearing some pinging - but too dark outside to see...

Are they taking requests?

Watching the live view via the Slooh solar telescope (from the Canary Islands) of the partial solar eclipse now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O88YMlgouG8

Guess that I ought to check the radar - will this morning's brief partial eclipse of the Sun be visible through the clouds (he wondered)...

Somewhat off-topic, but... Notice how April Fools' Day gets all of the press, while May Fools' Day, June Fools' Day, and all of the rest pale into insignificance? Napril coincidence? Some months have all the luck...

I'm dreading it, actually. Not much melt that I can see (but haven't ventured outside).

Yeah, it's just a case of 'pareidolia', but I kind like the demon's head and face in that portent of the late-Februar weather patterns:

Note to self: "Don't eat the yellow snow..."

It's as if this marginal thunderstorm is playing hopscotch - downpour and lightning was over there, to my west beyond the NY state line, and then suddenly it's blowing up over Canton, Simsbury and Avon to my east, with nothing in between.

Nobody expects... an 8 AM October thunderstorm. (Not here, more to the south and east of here - that means you, New Haven...)

With lightning, too - I was surprised to get an alert from my lightning app...

It's not often that I wake up to loud thunder, but I just did - that line coming from eastern NY into CT looks like the real deal.

I was happy to have power flicker only twice (in Washington Depot) - somehow seem to have missed the brunt of it.

Hope they don't get a TOR in Torrington...
