    We're still pretty dry along the S Shore from Eastern Monroe to Oswego ctys. The lake breeze curved many storms south over the past week so we only ended up with probably half of what many others experienced. The ground and grass is still quite dry.

    I'm predicting this will become non-severe by the time it gets Wayne Cty.

    Storm totally split around me...lol

    Looks like an intense storm incoming for our area...

    DP a thick 75 now...ended up with 0.27" last night with a quick, but LOUD storm.

    Wish those were moving SE.

    As South said, a battery backup or we have a Liberty water - powered backup sump. No power needed.

    Anyone think more storms will develop over the Wayne Cty area where clearing and heating is taking place? Or is there subsidence taking place because of the storms to the west?

    Finally Rochester's turn for rain! Thank you NE flow...

    That lake shadow is a formidable foe to rain.

    Man, Ontario is getting all the good stuff lately... Hail, funnels, etc.

    Severe storm rolling in to DC...can watch it live here: https://www.webcamtaxi.com/en/usa/washington-dc/the-white-house.html

    Wow, just checked the radar for that timeframe and not very impressive.
  14. vortmax
    Yes, that SW flow really shadows that whole area.

    I'd say so with a 75 DP...

    Just noticed that. Incoming to SYR...not much in the Erie shadow...

    One would think some storms would pop along the lake breeze for the S shore...seem only a couple east of Sodus bay...

    Pretty sick of all the negative news about COVID as if they media needs to keep the story going for click bait. Every message I get from Yahoo News, for example, is some negative twist on the Delta variant. Here's one from Popular Science: "Australia's renewed lockdowns are a warning sign for the US" - yet less than 4% vaccinated in Aus vs 60%+ in the US. Not even a comparison IMHO.

    Can't imagine what it's doing to their economy...and mental health.

    It would take a wicked cold airmass or frozen lakes (probably both - and maybe even an abnormally cold summer prior) to get -30 or below around here. Seems easier for the atmosphere to generate record heat than cold.

    Can someone in the NWS please tell me why they have not fixed the 'new and improved' radar site?? It's so painfully slow that is seems like a joke.

    Temp: 90.3 DP: 77 = oppressive.

    87.4 with a 76 dp...HX 99 on my Tempest.

    How anomalous is the HP over Canada? I'm guessing that's the culprit. And how does one attribute this specific event to global warming? Isn't this event 99% tied to timing and pattern? Just like the dust bowl, hurricane Sandy, and other anomalous events? I would say increased frequency of the same event over time would be a good indicator, though. Roger Smith's discussion here provides a good perspective:

    I've found that poverty is more of a mindset than a physical circumstance, especially in the US. Throwing money into 'projects' that don't address the root issues of this mindset will only prolong the situation and ultimately fail. That's partly why seemly 'helpful' socialist policies fail to remedy poverty every time.
