Are we still calling this heavy rainfall a bust?

Some backyards might be left wanting, but overall I think this qualifies as widespread.

Shows the jackpots quite well

HIPPYVALLEY · September 30, 2015

Green River this morning. That's what 5.5" of rain in 12 hours will do. The river was about a fifth that size the day before. I'll try to get more stuff up later.

wxeyeNH · September 30, 2015

4.15" here near Plymouth NH. Just drove over the Pemigewasset River coming down from Plymouth and Lincoln and it was very low even after all this rain. Lots of rocks showing and I would guess the river is running 50% of its normal flow. Was very surprised that it was not higher even considering the dry conditions going into the storm.

dryslot · September 30, 2015

Wow, nice...that's gotta be causing some flooding around there.

Small streams are out of there banks in numerous places covering roadways

Is that 9.75 for real?

HIPPYVALLEY · September 30, 2015

Looks like Greenfield was the winner for MA. I never sent in my 5.5" report due to power being out but Greenfield ham radio operator called in 5.6" with Colrain reporter up the road coming in close to 5".

5.63" looks to be the final total in the stratus gauge.

Wow. 5.67" here. A full inch higher than the tipper. What was your Davis total?

dendrite · September 30, 2015

Wow. 5.67" here. A full inch higher than the tipper. What was your Davis total?

And this is more in line with the Salisbury COOP weighing gauge total of about 5.5".

Ginx snewx · September 30, 2015

2.89 here

CoastalWx · September 30, 2015

How can that be one inch higher than tipper? That's awful.

CoastalWx · September 30, 2015

No wonder why Boston ASOS seems low.

you need to join Cocorahs

eekuasepinniW · September 30, 2015

The davis did 5.00". I knew it would be off by more than normal, but was still surprised. Yours is even more amazing.

dendrite · September 30, 2015

BOS is an AWPAG though...i.e. Weighing gauge.

http://www.nws.noaa.gov/ops2/Surface/documents/AWPAG%20Altershield%20Final%20Report%2008-09%20v2.doc

As for my Davis, I've never had it this far off. Prolonged heavy rains can have large errors though due to splash out and some lost during tips. Here's the Stratus gauge before I measured.

CoastalWx · September 30, 2015

Snow measurements are more accurate than that.

Damage In Tolland · September 30, 2015

Today ends up being the only rain we get this entire week except for CC. Crazy how fast things changed

Yeah I remember you saying that. It still seems low all the time. But that's another story.

I'm blown away by that discrepancy from your gauges. That's really bad.

Distant 3rd with you guys that seems to be the norm for me. 4.15"

eekuasepinniW · September 30, 2015

How can that be one inch higher than tipper? That's awful.

Usually it's super accurate, mostly within .02" and many times it matches exact. This event just happened to feature everything that tippers hate.... heavy rates, wind, and duration.

dendrite · September 30, 2015

Yeah I remember you saying that. It still seems low all the time. But that's another story.

I'm blown away by that discrepancy from your gauges. That's really bad.

Normally they're spot on with eachother with at most only a few hundredths difference. I'm honestly shocked. I thought maybe I had a bad reed switch going in my tipper, but Eek's discrepancy makes me think otherwise.

I need Chris or Ek to hook me up with a weighing gauge like Salisbury has. Too bad I live so close to the COOP...if I was in Coos they'd probably give me anything I wanted.

CoastalWx · September 30, 2015

I may have to, if an 800 dollar Davis blows that bad.

CoastalWx · September 30, 2015

That's the thing here. I have wind all the time. My measurements would be all over the place.

Ginx snewx · September 30, 2015

What is worse temperature talk or instrumentation talk

JC-CT · September 30, 2015

What is worse temperature talk or instrumentation talk

That's a tougher call than Joaquin's forecast track.
