powderfreak Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 I take it you won't be tubing this weekend?? Drove 198 this morning, and Diane's Pool was very high and fast; waiting for the swift water rescue call this weekend I lived right down the road from Huntington Gorge (could walk to it) in Richmond, VT which is the most deadly swimming hole in the state. Only about 10 minutes from the Bolton Potholes which claimed at least one 12-year old last year, too. The Huntington Gorge always scared the crap out of me...even as someone who generally does mountain recreation for thrills. This place has killed people, and then has killed Vermont State Trooper dive teams trying to save them. The other side of this sign is a list of State Police and Rescue workers who have died trying to save these folks... And here are some photos I took living there... you are so screwed if you enter the Gorge (the guy above was very, very lucky to be rescued) as most that end up in there are dead from blunt trauma before you can even attempt a rescue. There's some really good swimming holes just upstream of this...as well as the parking area... but if you lose it or somehow get sucked into this canyon... gives me chills just thinking about it. BTV has a good message out right now on their homepage about not going into swimming holes and the recent deaths... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damage In Tolland Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 man on the GFS it is getting close. measurable into western areas by 18z now and a weak wave cutting right through SNEGood lord. Lets hope Euro doesn't speed up today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typhoon Tip Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Even more so...LOL at Tues night/Wednesday on the GFS...another Nor' Easter. What's interesting about that is similar to this last one, it is virtually entirely convectively produced vort-max that than gets grabbed by this unrelenting, unseasonal trough that's been hanging down from Canada like a 70-year old's nut sack on a torrid afternoon. Man, just won't stop for any imaginative reason. Unbelieavable! At this point I kind have a sick pleasure in seeing if an entire summer can be historically abject. Anyway, there is a growing signal for some heat toward the end of the week, folks. Perhaps Tuesday smack in the face happens or not, but the tele's that matter for summer are signaling warming trend, and a few operational runs are trying to get the deed done. The Euro? hates the idea on the 00z. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MainePhotog Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Yeah, all 0 of them -- ...and if anyone is thinking about replying to this as though they do, you are lying to yourself and you need help! I will reply anyway. I love cool, wet weather every month of the year, except Winter. I need no help, and I am not lying to no one, especially myself. I've never met you John. I like your discussions on the weather and you seem like a decent person. But when you make statements like this, it makes me wonder. Are you just trying to elicit a response, or are you dead serious? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyways, Father's Day seems like we'll get some rain Sunday night, then a possible Nor'easter Tue PM into Wed AM. Rest of the week looks relatively dry, but who knows what the GFS will pull out of its hat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Euro? hates the idea on the 00z. Euro ensembles basically ditched the idea too...but considering they did have a bit of a signal there for some transient heat next weekend for several runs, we'll have to see if that was just a burp run or two and it comes back in the next few days or if it is catching onto another trough ripping down from SE Canada...which has seemed to be the pattern recently.

CT Rain Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 I wouldn't be surprised if I end the month with 12" or 13" of rain. Thankfully it's been spread out enough so flooding has only been minor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah starting Memorial Day weekend...this would have been an epic 2-3 weeks for winter storms. What has been the most impressive is how much these coastals look like winter storms in the mid-levels.

N. OF PIKE Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 man bouchard had a brutal time forecasting this system. first stating "what we wont' have" nor'easter, hvy rains ya da ya da when euro /gfs went south at 12z on thursday then back tracking to 2 inches plus, then yesterday afternoon saying its rushing out and some towns may see 1 inch others less, (i guess discounting the MLC regenerating precip as it dove SE toward long island) just brutal w the back and forth . And no i'm not a met but i can compare him to the met's on here and i sometimes wonder why Douchard is the lead on channel 7? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should probably watch another news channel then, or just start forecasting yourself lol.

CT Rain Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Random June rain stat... but the record wettest June in BDR is 17.70" in 1972! Most of that rain was pre-Agnes too. The June '72 flash floods in Fairfield County are pretty much overshadowed by the 1982 Connecticut floods that were so devastating (and deadly).

I follow alot of them and Harv or Barry seem to be the best on Bos tv. IF i told you my dentist was awful would u encourage me to do my next route canal ? On another note had about 1.4 inches of rain in the can. I see Bos had a shade over 2 and rivers are handling it well.

Brian5671 Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Going to be tough to get to 17.70, but we're at 8.15 right now at BDR-I could see 12-14 especially if next week is wet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The June '72 flash floods in Fairfield County are pretty much overshadowed by the 1982 Connecticut floods that were so devastating (and deadly). MQE has 17.32" as rainiest on record in 1998, and no hurricanes/trropical storms hit, where they all stayed offshore, impressive to say the least.

Yeah 17.70" ain't going to happen. A lot of that was really isolated over Bridgeport/Fairfield from 1972. The 1982 flood was pretty widespread over New Haven, Middlesex, and New London Counties. A lot of the peak crests on the smaller rivers from '82 haven't even come close to happening again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harvey and Barry are two of the most renowned broadcast mets for Boston so you got that right. Harvey was on 7 but jumped ship so that's how Bouchard got his gig as lead.
