eekuasepinniW Posted September 9, 2015 Author Share Posted September 9, 2015 Like this? If you strip away the violet color, yes. But what I saw wasn't part of a brighter flash like that photo. The tiny spark was all you could see. It was odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceanStWx Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 If he got a blue jet I'll be forever jelly. I know I've seen sprites before in Iowa, but those tend to be above the storm and not at the top of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tiny spark was all you could see. It was odd. Blue jets aren't always associated with a flash of lightning, so it's possible. It also could be a sprite, those tend to look like faint sparks too (to human eyes anyway). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eekuasepinniW Posted September 9, 2015 Author Share Posted September 9, 2015 Nice. Wish I had time to get my camera out. There was a bunch right before the Lightning abruptly stopped. I see the stuff in line with me to the west has weakened and some new red pixels have sprouted between here and Meredith, about 2 miles north. My iPad insists on capitalizing Lightning. It knows what's important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamarack Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Zippo here, and 0.03" total over the past 13 warm days has the surface soil mighty dry. Sandy River at 113 cfs is well under the median flow for the date but still above 25th percentile. Yesterday's 81/65 was the warmest daily mean of the year by 2F. It's the warmest mean in Sept since 2010 but its being the season's warmest only points out how modest the heat has been here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Picked up 0.47" yesterday evening, on top of the 0.28" the previous night, for 0.75" in the last 36 hours. The Stowe CoCoRAHS stations had a bit more than me yesterday evening in those storms, with 0.50" and 0.78". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 More boomers coming this way. This was a bust here locally... only 0.07". Really good looking cells went from the Sugarbush area up through Montpelier. MPV ASOS picked up a quick 0.50", but more impressively, if I'm reading this correctly, at 5:26pm it was +RN at 1.75sm visibility. By 5:33pm (7 minutes later), it was VCTS +RN with half mile visibility and 0.50" in the bucket. That's a nice 4.3"/hr rainfall rate for those 7 minutes.

tamarack Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Twenty drops at 7:30 from the line to my NW, some nice echoes just slid by 3-5 miles to my SE. Looks like a few hundredths of -RA between now and midnight - maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like another cent or two later this morning, but all in the light green (hope it's reaching the ground) color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
