I get the dew and heat trolls, as well as the cold and snowy trolls, as well as the drought vs floods.

But, for the love of what ever you believe in, can we just have a thread on reality??

PLEASE!!

you have been here long enough to know that reality does not exist here. This place runs on hopes, dreams, and trolls.

The more I follow the Clancy case, the more i am convinced of Patricks guilt instead. He did it.

then why did the mother state that she killed her kids?

This. Next winter might actually be a 0" for one of the nyc weather stations.

glad we don’t live there, nor do we live in the NYC forum

Last summer was the first time in recent memory that we basically turned the page August 1. It was strange but lasted for a while as we know. 

Nothing like that this summer. 

 

A warm start to fall isn’t a bad way to live at all in New England. Now, if November is a torch…

I had multiple 90+ days last august. it was nearly identical to July, at least in NH

Fricken Home Depot sent me the wrong railing for that and the front porch. The correct railing won’t be delivered until 8/18   The contractor has wrapped up everything else and will have to come back when we get the correct rails. 

just don't push the grill off the deck in a fit of rage!

Not sure, but you reminded me the new drought monitor is out.

Still abnormally dry for BDL, but at least after 20” of rain the S coast isn’t dry anymore.

i am surprised that there isn't a red dot over Northfield, NH, USA

neighbor has chickens. They have probably had 50 of them killed by raccoons, bear, fox, and coyote. the guy is a cop, and NH fish and game was not pleased when he shot and killed a bear that was attacking his coop. my house is like 300 yards away, and I have seen 1 bear (but plenty of bobcats and coyotes) in the time I’ve lived here.

Yeah mine reads too high

chicken pee?

I think it is almost impossible for a homeowner to "properly" site their weather station. you can't have an all-in-one sensor and get the best of all parameters.

for example, i didn't want to put mine in the middle of the back yard, simply because it would be a pain to be mowing around it. I could have it under trees, but would undercatch rainfall significantly, but could possibly get the most accurate temp. I don't care if I am off a couple of degrees in temp, as it gives me a general idea, and there are plenty of stations in my immediate vicinity, and i don't give a crap about wind (trees block it anyway). I did however want to get a semi-decent idea of rainfall. so mine is too close to the house, too close to the driveway, and in the middle of a garden. 

in other words, i am a contributor to the bad climate change data

Doesnt he own a succesfull business??

 

a successful business means generating revenue. does not necessarily mean sound meteorology, which is Ray's point.

15% chance of an area within 25 miles seeing rainfall that exceeds flash flood guidance. Kind of similar to SPC outlooks of having a certain percentage chance of seeing severe within 50mi or whatever it is. Flash flood guidance varies depending on recent rainfall (among other things, probably). 
 

Caveat is moderate risk on rainfall is not the same as a mod risk for severe. When I see a mod rain risk it’s noteworthy but not uncommon. A high risk is serious though—they almost always precede catastrophic flooding somewhere within the zone. 

I get it, and mostly understand it. my point is this: we are all weenies, hobbyists, and meteorologists here, so I'd say that this forum gets it. But what does the general public think that map means? i am sure more than one twitterologist has posted that map with no context.

2 hours ago, WxWatcher007 said:

We approve. 

what does this map even mean? Like, there is a slight ~15% chance that I get excessive rainfall? what is excessive? And yes I know it is going to rain

just seems stupid to me

So many click bait winter outlooks from meteorologists on YouTube calling for a snowy winter for the Northeast due to the strong STJ.

and you watched them all, didn't you?
