Hoth

Storm just missing me north. Maybe a mile or two out of the money.

This outside looking in stuff is brutal.

Send rain please!

Awesome sighting!

I would also add that thanks to the Internet you can now find communities of people who will reinforce any point of view, however stupid. Believe the world is flat? There's a vociferous community online who will feed you (bad) data in support of your view. Think AMC is going to a million? There's a community for that. Think Tupac is alive? Think Atlantic ACE will hit 300? There's a community. It's a vehicle for people to create their own subjective "truth." You can bury yourself in your own curated echo chamber.

I think there are also so many sources of spurious information out there that many people have lost the ability to separate the good from the bad. Critical thinking skills seem to be in serious decline.

Gotta draw from the New Haven data, as I don't track it myself. June was 2.3, July was 0.9, August is 0.9 to date. I'm confident I'm running behind New Haven though. There have been a few measurable events downtown that missed my hood this month. It's starting to remind me of 2016 in Boston around here.

It feels like it hasn't really rained here since June. A couple sprinkles barely caked the dust, but that's pretty much it. I really feel for the local orchards/farms.

Not a drop. Zero point zero. Might as well join the effing Peace Corps.

And you. This is brutal.

Not a damn drop. The famine stones will be uncovered soon at this rate.

It may never rain again.

If I Stein today, I may lose my sh!t.

Speaking of damage, check out the derecho in Italy the other day. Wow.

Used to fish off the bridge that leads to it when I was a kid. It's a great area.

Congrats DC!

It is kind of amazing how many times the FL east coast has dodged a bullet in recent years. Trying to remember when the last one was. Could it be Katrina?

It’s kind of amazing that this thread is at 116 pages, given the extreme lack of interesting weather recently. There was a time when even significant winter storms couldn’t pull this kind of engagement.

Long range GFS with a pretty good look for hurricane risk. Nothing modeled verbatim, but throw a cat 5 in the Bahamas and we would Hoover it right up. Our drought troubles are over!

Is there anywhere in the northern hemisphere that is not in a brutal drought? I keep reading about the dire one out west, and the rivers in Germany getting too low to allow barge traffic, and the Yangtze plunging and so forth. Seems like hot and dry is the general rule this year.

That's awesome. I saw them up in Middlebury, VT back in '03 and it was spectacular. Would love to experience it again.

Even this far south?

Light drizzle right now. My grass be like:

Is this one of those deals where the more organized the storm gets, the farther west it comes?

Would be a hell of a way to get a regime change.
