J.Spin Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 A quick look at our 12-day rain streak that is on-going... Here in Stowe it looks like we are *only* averaging about 1/2" per day over those 12 days. Underhill on the west side of Mansfield is similar... Meanwhile, J.Spin's location (Waterbury 3.0NW) is not that far off from averaging 1" per day. Man, 9-10" in 12 days is pretty damn impressive. That's rainforest quality right there. 12dayrainfall.jpg Between letting the morning fog and dew dissipate, and our daily rains, I pretty much mow the lawn in patches using the tiny windows that Mother Nature gives me. I just got about 20 minutes done before our recent downpour, and now I’m on the front porch enjoying the rain and waiting for the next opportunity. We’re closing in on 30” of liquid for the calendar year, and 45” for the CoCoRaHS water year, so perhaps we’ll see another 60”+ total like 2011. If this keeps up though, it’s only going to increase the annual average that I'm calculating for liquid here. Mother Nature is back at it again; we were only grazed by the first part of the big line coming through, but we picked up 0.53” from that, and the next section could be a little tighter: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eyewall Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Got nailed with a thunderstorm at North Beach in Burlington today. It even had a Wall Cloud with it for a short time. Unfortunately it kind of ruined the day for many. I also took pics of the Winooski River in downtown Winooski. It is definitely running high. I don't know how much it has to rise to flood though.

Didn't realize you were a local. We should get a beer sometime. That downpour was insane. I was trying to head south towards shoreham for an event and felt like my subaru was going to wash away off route 7. Just a tremendous amount of rain in that cell. NWS posted a flood warning - not flash- for the Winooski. Prob. going to crest with no additional rain just below 14 feet. At 15 it floods downtown essex junction (I think). Long term GFS doesn't give me a lot of hope that we're gonna hit a dry + hot spell anytime soon. Guess that is just the way its gonna go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allenson Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 No flooding rains here yesterday but once again, we couldn't avoid a thunderstorm and downpour to the tune of a half-inch. WE were out on the boat on Lake Morey when it approached. We ducked for cover a friend's house on the other side of the lake and then beat feet for home after it was over and it looked like another was on its way (though it ended up passing south of us). The third picture PF posted is what I fear most for our driveway during times like this. A few years ago a dirt road on the ridge across from us was completely washed out and yet our long driveway was relatively unscathed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxeyeNH Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Showers and storms past all around me yesterday but as the norm I missed everything. More watering of the new lawn to try to keep it growing in the hot weather. Hoping for a storm or two the next few days but the pattern favors areas North and West.

tamarack Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 TS went north and south yesterday, with the weak middle giving only 0.02" - driest day of the past 12. Seems a bit less humid today, and there was a nice WNW breeze on North Pond where I entertained the white perch this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Yesterday's rain... that all fell in like one hour. Axis of 1.5-2.25" from Burlington and due east into Jerhico/Nashville/Bolton/Waterbury/Stowe on both the east and west side of the spine. It sounds like the Nashville/West Bolton area had some really incredible flash flooding as well as rain poured down the west slope of the Spine. Forecast says we may do it all over again... who will be the lucky ones this time? Everyday for the past two weeks it seems, some spot gets hammered with around 2" of rainfall in a very short period of time prompting true flash flooding.

powderfreak Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Awesome! I noticed J.Spin is now over 11" in the past 13 days. That's absolutely incredible to me. In Stowe we are at 7.6" based on the village CoCoRAHS for that same 13 day period. Still averaging over 1/2" per day for two weeks straight, but J.Spin's averaging close to 1"/day for almost two weeks is nuts. Absolutely nuts.
