Summer update III: SNE region's 4 primary climo sites all remain solidly above normal as of the closing of July 14.

[CT Rain]

And it was totally unforecast by everyone

Yes it was. I couldn't believe that MMK/HFD were both 99 too.

It was sneaky Scooter warmth that overperformed. Yesterday was just a brutally hot and humid day.

Heat advisory criteria met in many areas... excessive heat warning criteria verified at MMK.

I guess it was CT centric, but I was in heaven that winter so I won't lose sleep that parts of CT got 10" or so more than me. If it were like '03-'04 than I would be upset. We'll get ours, might even be this winter.

Yea, not complaining about that season at all....it just fit within the CT-centric context.

Thank god that crap is out to sea for the foreseeable future. Would be nice if that is it for the year.

Good bet. Heavy heavy late nights for all, you breastfeeding or letting Alison?

:lol:

I hear ya. They aren't a bad spot for wx as they get a little of both. We excel in Miller-B bombs.

Yes that was our dream year, climo is a b**ch, great equalizer winter incoming.

Yesterday was yet another chapter in the CT-centric book that I was glad to have seen written....not nearly as hot up here...lots of clouds.

Tuesday was hell-day, here.

[40/70 Benchmark]

I agree, Scott....I think this is an e MA winter.

Just brutal. IDK how folks live in that day after day after day.

what you need is a Jan 05. Can not wait until our overnight convos with you, Scott as he milks the youngin, Will, Eck, and others.By far my favorite times on this board.

[CoastalWx]

Well I'm not sure it's an ern MA winter, just saying we'll get ours. I think I would be optimistic if I were in your shoes.

[HoarfrostHubb]

September will bring a Cat 3 right over Wilmington

[CoastalWx]

One of these days Wilmington will have a natural disaster where Ray is floating down the Shawsheen River...just resting on his spoiler.

[CT Rain]

Irene caused some excitement. Not often you get a TC moving into SNE. Even Betha in '96 was exciting to me, and that wasn't damaging or anything. JMHO.

Bertha is underrated IMO lol. I loved that storm. Ray is right that Irene was a bust outside of CT/Western Mass. Any storm that drops 5-10" of rain in this part of the country is pretty exciting to me though.

[CT Rain]

The CT River Valley in CT had a god awful stretch from Feb 2006 until 2010. So it's all cyclical.

[Damage In Tolland]

CT is a good place to live

I would move to the Cape in a heart beat.

Yeah I thought it was awesome. Maybe because I was younger and more impressed...but I thought it was fun. We had a great tstm during the overnight before it arrived too.

Traffic. I am close enough yet far enough away, 45 mins and on the beach in RI. I like CT where I am but hate the costs for everything.

Bertha was a bust in ECT, 35-40 and over quick

Irene was the worst natural disaster to hit the state of Vermont in a very long time. Its still in the news from time to time regarding budget funds and roads and financial aids to towns. That messed up this state.

[CT Rain]

Bertha was pretty good in Branford on the water. The wind was ferocious for a period of time right by the beaches. Once you moved a 1/2 mile inland it was pretty meh.

You couldn't pay me enough to live near the water

[CT Rain]

Oh yeah VT too... was talking SNE... but yeah western New England was just pummeled. CT had tree damage/worst power outage on record, worst coastal flooding in decades, and serious inland flooding. It was a 3-fer here. Up north the water damage was unreal.

[CT Rain]

Eh, I'm all about the storm not the cold and depth. I'd rather 6" turn to sleet and rain with a driving 50 knot wind then a foot of powder. That's just me though.

Same story here with Irene. Nasty storm within a 1/2 mile of the water.

Underestimated by some how brutal that was up there. This winter opened my eyes when I saw it.

It's not like the Cape means living in BDA..lol. He acts like he lives in Stowe and the Cape is more like Cape Hatteras.
