  1. How do you think he burns the grass?
  2. Essentially there is an agreement locally that we should at least have a period where 6 inches falls in 12 hours, to really hit the impacts aspect (it always boils down to rates). Because the technical directive would be "events" can be up to 48 hours, which would lump in a ton of upslope events that aren't always warning level impacts.
  3. It would be fun if at the end of the month we had to fire off 3 warnings in a row just to make quota. But as we well know, it's the cry wolf syndrome. Let's make our warnings more meaningful (but in realty for the vast majority of the board nothing changes).
  4. Maybe more?? I'm excited to go 8 for the mountains up here. And we ditch the silly 12 or 24 hour criteria distinction. The idea was to come up with criteria that more or less averaged out to about 4 or 5 warnings per year in each zone.
  5. Their heyday couldn't have been any better timed for my high school/college years. The crowd I ran with in RI more often than not had Dispatch in the regular rotation at parties.
  6. Me too. I think I have also seen DMB, Dispatch, Springsteen, and Fleetwood Mac there.
  7. I was there. It was a triple bunner for sure. I was calling BOX from the parking lot giving them updates on the precip mix.
  8. But that might be your high on Christmas Day.
  9. More rain in one event than 7 of the 12 months of last water year.
  10. As the outside temps approach the single digits the heat pumps use more electrical resistance to generate heat, that led to some bigger bills last winter (~$300-400). But that will still be cheaper than propane at 3.50/gal.
  11. The real long range stuff isn't my forte, but just looking over that chart it seems like a pretty weak correlation anyway (especially if you ditch 1988 and 1976 outliers).
  12. Wrong side of the coastal front. I pulled off 3.61".
  13. I'm seeing 2.13" with the 18z ob. My closest PWS is 2.61".
  14. Had more precip in the last 24 hours than all of May, June, or July.
  15. There were two PWSs that measured 80 mph in Rye. It's common for one PWS to have rogue gusts, but to have two is something that is harder to ignore.
  16. A big red flag for me was the HREF not showing really big 3 and 6 hourly max values. Sure the 24 hours max values were impressive, but 5 inches of rain in 24 hours is more of a river flood than flash flood without antecedent conditions being really primed. We're likely going to hit some 5 inch marks up here, but mostly just over minor flooding.
  17. I wouldn't really expect any potential wind for anybody west of that fine line. Basically RI line north to the chicken coops. And most likely any wind would be behind that deeper convection off the the islands.
  18. Surprised you didn't mention the gravity wave looking things the HRRR wants to rip through SNE.
  19. Me listening to my standby generator hum while the neighborhood goes dark.
  20. And a pretty long lived one just south of the radar, near Martinsburg.
  21. This is the time of year to see them clearly, with lots of leaf debris.
  22. That's the feature. You can see the modeled LLJ develop on the northeast side of it tonight, and that's what rips up the coast.
  23. Saw the 06z NAM went triple bun with the 80 kt 925 LLJ. That'll do.
