Merry Christmas everyone!
Warm and rainy morning. Just a few snow piles left now. Power flickered a couple of times around 6am when the heavy line came through. Glad it never went out as the sump pump is working overtime keeping the water out of the basement. 2.5" of rain so far.
Just went out and shoveled a bit so we could let the pup out. Didn't take any measurements but I'm guessing about 7 or 8" so far down here. A mix of sleet and snow right now.
2" here in Salem, CT. It really came down under that heaving banding from 12-3pm but changed back to rain by 4:30pm and never got below 34 until after midnight.
Small tree down across the road just up the street. Lucky it missed the overhead lines. Helped the state trooper pull it off to the side.
Tropical storm like outside now - heavy heavy sideways rain.
Nice constant background roar going now, with some pretty heavy gusts. Whenever the heavier batches of rain come the wind definitely mixes down really well.
