eekuasepinniW Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Payback for that last one I beat you on. More coming in though so we'll see. 0.03" Indeed. 0.91" This is nice but the total lack of even a distant flash of lightning is a little disappointing.

wxeyeNH Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Damn, eek. I'd take your .91" in a heartbeat. Parts of my lawn are turning brown even though we had all that rain a couple of weeks ago. More is heading your way too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does feel a little waterspouty out there. More is heading your way too! It's pretty important that I get a ton more rain than dendrite. Radar looks good... hopefully I can get another .50" out of it. CoCoRaHS report of 1.07" in 26 minutes just on the south end of that heavier shower in NH.

powderfreak Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 I thought we were doing pretty good in the moisture department with around 15" this summer, but Dendrite/Eek/Gene seem to get hit hard during each little event. One of those guys will come in with 1"+ everytime haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dendrite Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 I want to see an undercast so bad. 1.08" final total in the manual gauge. I occasionally get a fog undercast here on my way to work in the morning...especially this time of year. The top of the hill is clear and the river valley is socked in to 1/4SM soup while I'm sorta on the in-between at home. I hiked MWN once with SCT ceilings around 3-4kft above the floor so we had some pass through us, but I'd love to witness a legit undercast too.

tamarack Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Total of 0.05"as of 7 this morning. We've had only 0.30" since the big dump (2.62") on 13-14. Yet another meh month, in fact August temps have been quite unspectacular over the past 5 yr. I keep "top 10" records for temps (hi, hi min, hi mean, same for lows, plus precip and snowfall) and August 2010-2014 has produced only 3 entries on the temp records, out of the nominal 60 slots (actually, over 80 due to ties for 9th or 10th.) 2011 and this year were shut out completely for temps, though the 1.94" rain on the 14th made the cut. August 2014 Avg high: 72.5 (-2.5) Avg low: 52.0 (-0.6) Avg mean: 62.26 (-1.55) Highest: 82 on the 25th Lowest: 42 on the 19th Precip: 3.45" (-0.62) 2,62" fell on 13-14. No other day exceeded 0.20", though I had 17 days with at least 0.01". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxeyeNH Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 .007" from yesterday's "non rain". 83/67F on this beautiful summer type day. Powderfreak, I don't think I have ever told this to anyone in my life but looking at the undercast picture you posted one reminded me of this thought. I have always thought wouldn't it be neat to time freeze a towering Cu with sharp edges and be able to fly and hover next to one. Always wondered how dense the delineation between clear and foggy in a building Cu is? I have also wondered how big the "bubbles" of a growing T storm are? Probably no one but me has even thought of this!! Weird weatherfreak stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eekuasepinniW Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 A sultry 84 at LCI but only 77 for me. Late summer sun is a little frustrating... I always notice this after the 3rd week of August. Tarmacs start failing to represent where real people live, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamarack Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 After my place was skimmed north and south during the day, there's now two training cells about 6-8 miles to my south, with estimated precip over 1.5" in a few pixels and 50 dbz on quite a few. Cells are moving very slowly eastward, and GYX has issued a flood alert. The near miss at 4 PM at least provided shade for working on firewood, then the 0.02" shower began as the sun came out.

J.Spin Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 March 2014 was a good month for snow in the Northern Greens, and combined with relatively cool temperatures (departure from normal for the month was -10.8 F for the weather station at the Morrisville airport), it was clearly an above average month with respect to overall wintry character. With 37.8” of snow at our location, this past March didn’t quite reach the levels of snowfall obtained in March 2007 or March 2011, but an above average March was sorely needed to help recover some of the snowfall deficiencies that December and January had put in place. Much like February, after some small storms in the 2-3” range during the first third of the month, there was a very robust period around mid month that featured the largest storms. That period kicked off with a 15.6” storm on the 12th that would actually wind up being the largest storm of the season. That was followed up by a storm with 6.0” of snow on the 15th, and a 4.7” storm on the 19th before the month finished off with a few small storms similar to those at the start of the month. The storms definitely came, and when the last accumulating storm of the month finished things off from the 29th to the 30th, it marked a new high mark in our weather records of ten March snowstorms, beating out March 2008 and March 2011, which both had nine. Details on the ten accumulating storms that affected our area this past March can be found via the links below: (2.1”) 3/2/2014 (0.7”) 3/4/2014-3/5/2014 (2.6”) 3/9/2014-3/10/2014 (2.5”) 3/10/2014-3/11/2014 (15.6”) 3/12/2014-3/13/2014 (6.0”) 3/15/2014-3/16/2014 (4.7”) 3/19/2014-3/21/2014 (1.4”) 3/22/2014-3/23/2014 (2.0”) 3/28/2014-3/29/2014 (0.2”) 3/29/2014-3/30/2014 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eekuasepinniW Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Braised Venison with Rosemary and Mushrooms Prep Time: 25 MinutesCook Time: 2 HoursReady In: 2 Hours 25 MinutesServings: 4 Ingredients:2 tablespoons bacon drippings1 1/2 pounds venison, cut into 2 inch cubes2 cups fresh shiitake mushrooms, stemmed and sliced2 medium onions, chopped4 cloves garlic, minced2 tablespoons cognac or brandy (optional )2 cups dry red wine1 cube beef bouillon1/4 teaspoon black pepper1/2 teaspoon dried thyme leaves1 1/4 teaspoons dried rosemary2 bay leaves1 (8 ounce) package baby carrots (optional)1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional)2 tablespoons water (optional) Directions:1. Melt the bacon drippings in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the venison in two batches until nicely browned and remove. Stir in the shiitake, onions, and garlic; cook until softened, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour in the cognac, wine, and bouillon cube, simmer for 30 seconds to remove the alcohol flavor and dissolve the bouillon. 2.Stir in the venison, pepper, thyme, rosemary, and bay leaves. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer gently until the venison is tender, about two hours or more; adding water as needed. 3.If using baby carrots, add them during the last half hour of cooking. When the venison is tender, you may wish to thicken the sauce by dissolving the cornstarch in 2 tablespoons of water and stirring it into the sauce.
