Mr. Windcredible!

It's tolerable on a weekday or in the evenings. Clinton is up to $75 on weekends for non-residents now I believe...and snack bar not operating this summer. If you don't have a lot of gear and don't mind a walk...you can go to Point Bluff State Park in Groton and it's about a mile or so walk to what's typically a nearly deserted stretch of beach.

yeah I was surprised by that too. For many years I thought as long as you were west of the river along the shoreline things tended to work out pretty good in marginal situations. Last few years have been rough though, definitely have become a snow hole just like NL county. Watching the radar, seemed the best banding pushed just north of here after 7:30am or so...and we lost a couple critical hours. By the time we got back into some decent returns temp was up to 32.7 and it was all over. Crazy that literally a degree colder and it could've been a completely different story here it terms of totals. Seeing CC verify warning criteria also stings.

I'm a few miles inland. But another mile or two NW could've been all it took to grab another couple inches. Maybe if someone was using a snowboard and cleared it mid-way...that could've helped too. But I never went above 3" on any surface I tried measuring on.

Only 3" here near the shoreline. Torched BL really killed us. Not really terribly surprising...but still disappointing. Over 2 years (1/29/22) since last warning event and counting. At least this one put us over last year's pitiful season total.

Measured 2.3" here this morning and got a quick walk in before the changeover. It's been freezing drizzle since 9am. Temp has crept up to 29.5F. Rumor is roads are quite slick, so no school was the right call. Expect to flirt with freezing before temps drop again later this afternoon.

It's absolutely ridiculous. And the models seem to have no problem nailing it 5-days out. Yet if there's snow involved...models can't even get it right within 12 hours. We're a magnet for heavy rains but repel snows like we're the new Mid-Atlantic.

I also came just to see if anyone had commented on the satellite presentation this morning. I don't recall ever being able to see multiple distinct stratus layers in visible imagery like that before.

We were supposed to leave first thing in the morning tomorrow to go to PA to visit my son at college. Just called an audible about an hour ago and let my wife know we needed to leave tonight or risk driving thru flooding rains or canceling altogether, neither of which was going to be an acceptable option. So plan is to make it to her sister's in W NJ tonight to get us to the other side of this incoming firehose.

I think it's just you. It's just the Euro Op totals. No crazy 6-12" totals...but a widespread 2-4" for most of the region.

I was thinking maybe if we just ignore it, it will go away.

My anxiety is through the roof. Gonna be away for the weekend and don't want to come home to a wet basement. Even though we had french drains put in back in May, I'm still nervous about water finding it's way in through other small cracks in the foundation.

did briefly hit 90 an hour or two ago. First 90 degree reading of the year here.

Yeah…I mean the early September heat/humidity is certainly not unusual down here. You can almost predict it by the school calendar…first or second week back there’s always a few uncomfortable days in there somewhere. But having our hottest day of the year in mid-April is unheard of along the CT shoreline, given LI Sound temps that time of year and the ease at which the sea breeze penetrates inland. I’m a few miles inland, but typically April temps at BDL in the 80s that time of year means a low-70s high at noon and temps falling into the low 60s by 4-5pm with a chilly breeze. So if that April high stands as our warmest day it’s will a bit of an anomaly. But we still have a couple more days here with a shot to crack 90, so we’ll see.

Have yet to hit 90 on the PWS so far this year. But today was my 2nd warmest reading of the year (88.7F), just behind the 89.1F high I had back on...April 14 There's a decent chance that come the end of the week, 4 of the 5 hottest days of the year here will have fallen outside of meteorological summer

I feel your pain. I'm a couple miles inland but it's usually not enough in marginal situations...whereas Killingworth/North Madision/North Guilford can pull off an inch or two. Hell, it's infuriating how often parts of LI outperforms me...just happened with the event last week.
