Mr. Windcredible!

Bit of thunder/lightning here. Surprisingly only just closing in on 0.5” in the gauge though.

some 1.5-2.5"/hr rates in SE PA right now

Evacuations ongoing in Wilmore PA now. A taste of what's to come...

to be fair...the bulk of that falls in a 6-8 hour window

I was looking at NE regional view and trying to figure out what you were talking about. Lucky for NO that's the 384hr GFS. Although Louisiana's next hurricane hit is just 192hs out on the Canadian.

Rain band has set up again over NYC. Gonna add to their big totals from last night.

I think it was warranted to some degree. Was probably worth emphasizing that Henri’s wind impacts were not likely to be as widespread as Sandy…but had this thing peaked at a Cat 2 yesterday and stayed in the further west course…it could’ve been bad across CT. It just irks me that no one wants to be the first station to backdown from the hype. You don’t even have to completely poo poo it as this point. But it’s pretty obvious at this point the wind threat here in CT much less a concern than it was. Still worth highlighting the flash flood potential.

Pretty thankful myself. Who wants a tree on their house and weeks without power? Still gotta watch the flash flooding threat across CT today though.

Not downplaying the potential flood threat here in CT…but after all the hype I’m the past 48 hours…gotta admit this weather alert from NBC is pretty funny

Odds on Eversource shutting off the grids just they can take credit for restoration times faster than 3 weeks?

It was meh-central around here a couple hours ago. I saw one other guy at the hardware store grabbing a gas can and maybe a an extra car or two topping off at the gas station. Seemed like your average day at Stop & Shop. I think some people are still sleeping on this one.

you're forgetting we're in DST too...so the sun sets an hour later

We're in the same boat. I keep waffling back and forth between which option I'd prefer. I think I lean towards the rain...as I'm not in a low lying area and the biggest risk there is some water in the generally unfinished basement. I really hate the though of a tree falling on the house or stressing out about keeping the generator fueled and food from spoiling...not to mention the uncomfortable nights without AC. Honestly I'm kind of hoping for a continued W shift over NYC with a compact wind field that keeps any widespread wind damage close to the core.

When news stations realized a map showing 105 generates more clicks than one showing 95. Gotta hype it up!

we've managed a couple sneaky showers in the past week...but only 0.35". Still nearly 8" on the month though...so I'm not complaining. Wouldn't have minded a decent storm though just for some excitement. I probably jinxed it by opening the window to listen to it roll in. Could hear the thunder when that line was still back west of 91.

We're all used to Severe Thunderstorm Warnings that don't produce...but I think that's the first time I was under one only to see it cancelled like 10 minutes later.

Both you and @Kevin W are awesome for keeping this going and making up for my laziness. In the future...where should I log my totals? I remember using that NE snow site several years ago...honestly didn't even know it was still active. I just thought you were just taking people's totals from here in the forum.

@The 4 Seasons I'm a little late at updating since the last event...but 34.5" season total. Was really hoping we could eek out one more decent event to get to 40". But even if done for the year, total is still better than past 2 years combined. Edit: oops...looks like you already pulled it from another thread.

6.4” total here...most of that with the initial thump yesterday midday.

Round 1 just ended here. Apparently it was pounding harder than I thought. Measured 4.5" in multiple spots. Not too shabby for 4 hours. Shoreline jacks are pretty rare...so I'm pretty stoked!

Just got into the western portion of that band...definitely heaviest snow so far. Probably picked up 1" in the past 40-45 minutes. Eyeballing at least 2" or so total.

About 1” here...perhaps a smidge more. There’s been a couple brief lulls since things started around 10..,but overall pretty nice snow growth

Assuming any amount of freezing rain though? I'm guessing that's the main threat Houston and south at this point.

WSW up for Houston/Galveston. Have a friend down there that was already bitching about the arctic cold on FB...it was in the 40s.

Getting OT...but the videos as it happened are crazy... Skip to 35 seconds here for the FedEx truck hitting:
