MaineJayhawk Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Persistent easterly fetch has been bringing us heavy drizzle all day. No budging on the temps .. a steady 59 or 60F since daybreak. I won't mind seeing the accumulating rain this pm considering the brushing of last night. I echo tamarack's sentiments about drought concerns ... gotta get the rain when you can.

MaineJayhawk Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Down to 57F at SFM ... Good stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamarack Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Pouring now. Could see the rain that got your area weakening as it crossed NH, and now it appears to be falling apart as it stumbles across Franklin Cty toward MBY. The more solid yellows look to stay well south, perhaps hitting Eric's BY but not too much farther north. Maybe the next bunch, whenever it appears, will do better up my way.

Not looking good here either for rain enthusiasts with the solid shield skirting southern-most Maine (+1 for alliteration). Sure, it's been wet all day but in the end it won't add up to too much. Keeping my eyes on the storms over NY. Plus side ... it isn't 95/73. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allenson Posted June 24, 2011 Author Share Posted June 24, 2011 Had quite a quick-hitting drencher in the wee hours of the morning. 0.72" for a 24 hour total. Nope, no need to water the garden.

MaineJayhawk Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 54/53 at PWM ... just amazing. About -20F on the max departure. 54F is Portland's avg high on 4/20. lol Steady rains have provided 0.94" in the past 12 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamarack Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 As of 7 AM my rainfall was up to 1.21" - for June; just 0.22" for this event, though radar suggests another 0.1-0.2" since 7 and there's a modest patch about to pass over MBY, so maybe we can get 1/2" total before things dry out. Moderate shower thru AUG about 3-3:30, nothing doing at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Max 56.2F...currently 54.8F. 0.20" rain today. Epic fail. Yeah you guys closer to the Atlantic are taking this one on the chin... not much better over here but a few ticks warmer. High of 61F, low 53F today with right around 1.0" of rainfall over the past 36 hours. Just under 3.5" for June so far, which is a very dry month compared to April and May. As usual in these set-ups, the closer you get to the Atlantic, the colder it gets. And as usual the Green Mountain Spine acts as the "wall" that seems to stop the very chilly, maritime airmass. The Champlain Valley has seen temps in the upper 60s to around 70F this afternoon while here on the other side of the Spine we are currently 57.6F. Even the cold spot of Saranac Lake in the Adirondacks at close to 1,700ft had several hours in the 70-71F range, while the New England coastal plain was in the low 50s.

eekuasepinniW Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 I'm cranky. Not even a basket full of extra fluffy orange and white kittens left by my door could improve my mood. 53.9 1.11" since this all started. 4" soil temp holding remarkably steady at 62.

Allenson Posted June 25, 2011 Author Share Posted June 25, 2011 Even I'm sick of the gloom now....and I have a soft spot for cool, cloudy weather. High yesterday here was only 55F. On June the 24th! Missed most of the showers yesterday but still managed to pick up 0.13" and raining pretty hard as I type. Good day for inside projects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not you Allenson! don't go down the path of the bitchy NNE'r, stay strong man, throw on the gor-tex , slide into the muck boots and keep your chin up. I'm only a junior member so FWIW I think in true NNE'r spirit if people are gonna cry they should at least have to come up with some good metaphors or sayings regarding the craptasticness of their conditions We are over an 1" as PF stated, good slug weather Re Winter: just got word no anterless tags for muzzleloader season for our zone or the NEK due to the harsh winter - F&W have a tough job, managing herd numbers seems like its worse than herding cats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Temp 56/51 yest, and about 51 rigt now. However, we finally got some decent RA overnight, neqrly 0.8" to lift the 3-day total to 1.3", and some Donner und Blitzen 2-3 AM. If it's going to be cool/damp, at least it should rain enough to water the garden. Any-deer tags are down about 40% this year in Maine, with 3 rough winters in the past 4, though my zone is down only about 10%. N.Maine has it he worst. When I lived there, the estimated deer pop was 3-4 per sq. mile. Might be under 1 now. In 1990 the registered deer kill for the norterly 8,000 sq. miles (about 1/4 of the state) was just under 2,900. In 2009 it was 376, down 87% - can you say "collapse"? Main causes are a bunch of big snow/cold winters beginning with 1992-93 and about half the winters since, loss of winter cover (spruce budworm mortality and the salvage harvesting in response), with coyotes adding to the pressure. The state lands managed by my agency have some of the best cover available, especially at Round Pond (on the middle Allagash), but even there the deer are less numerous. Lots of good moose habitat, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 No new rainfall overnight other than a trace... looks like we got a round of showers moving in now though. Currently 57F with an overnight low of 53F. We are still damp and chilly but continue to run 3-5F higher than a lot of you guys closer to the Atlantic. With that said, I'm starting to get jealous of BTV only 20 or so miles away but on the other side of the Green Mtn spine. They didn't get lower than 59F last night and will probably make another run at 70F or higher today. The "warmer" or modified air is so close... but I won't complain because I can't think of any snappy term for the current weather at this time, lol.

powderfreak Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 Precipitation totals over the past 48 hours or so... no need to water the lawn.

Muck boots are pretty much standard issue around here! there ya go. at least the beer doesn't warm up fast, right? The deck on our tractor is already at the top, thinking of bigger tires to get another inch of lift, seriously contemplating goats, sheep, or some other grazer that might taste good on a cold winter night tamarack - pretty stunning numbers for ME. I recall hearing tales of dead deer being found IN trees 10"+ after a couple of those winters up north of Jackman, its interesting to see the ebb and flow of the habitat here in NNE, last year they couldn't hand out enough doe tags, this year they pull the reigns, hard from a veggie/fruit standpoint I can confirm its the best strawberry season in the past 5 or so - something likes the rain quick edit to add: we're lucky so far, light grey skies, no rain, cloud ceiling just boosted to 3K, at least for now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaineJayhawk Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 I'm in Portland right now and just walked up the street to the post office ... skies appeared noticeably brighter and if I squinted and imagined really hard I could see something of a blue sky up there. Now, half an hour later, it's raining again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could go for another 1,000ft to open things up a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thunder here now and the Spine just disappeared in murky rain... only a matter of minutes before it reaches my house. Time to close up some windows.
