I'm not usually a fan of days of rain and gloom, but rain hasn't been that easy to come by, so I'm seeing it as a good thing. Also looking forward to seeing the sun again, maybe Wednesday? I'm with ya, but yeah, we need the rain and these multi-day soakers are the best way to get it. 1.07" of rain on the day. Puts the Ian total thus far at 2.33".

RedSky Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 If guidance is too be believed, a BIG if, we get a break in the rain though remaining cloudy breezy and cold tomorrow before no'reaster #2 takes over for Tuesday into Wednesday. Imagine a double snowstorm in winter. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coming down at a decent clip, 1/4" in the last half hour. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedSky Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 What caused this 5 day cold foul weather? A probably rare as one in a thousand or more year triple tropical trouble of the the strongest ever Typhoon to crash the Gulf of Alaska to disturb the polar vortex and setup western north America blocking, followed by the strongest ever tropical system to crash Nova Scotia and create a strong -NAO, and Ian get perfectly snared into the setup. Are you feeling lucky? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurricane Agnes Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 Wow. Mother Nature produces a forecast fail that had originally progged this area for 1 - 1.5" or so, and we are easily double that total over the past couple days. Just for today, am up to 1.12" at post time and with the 1.62" yesterday and 0.02" Friday night, I am at 2.76" for the 3 days so far and am way WEST of I-95, where S/E was supposed to have "more". Currently have light rain and 53 with dp 52. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now have 1.28" for the day (2.92" for the 3 days). I did see a Flood Advisory was issued for Philly metro. KYW traffic was reporting that both the Black and White Horse Pikes are closed for flooding outside of AC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birds~69 Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 If you like football, gloomy dreary days, doing wash/stuff/taking out trash while getting drenched...today is the ticket.

Although we're only sitting at .88" between yesterday and today, still, it's very nice. This time last year, we were still waiting for the summer heat to break. This year I'm just hoping it doesn't come back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Agnes Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 Have 1.80" in the bucket for the day so far at post time (3.44" for the 3-day event). In another pause in the rain but it is still misty and 51 with dp 50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KamuSnow Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 Still raining a bit, up to 2.45" for today, 3.50" for the event. Radar reminded me of the dryslot from Jan. 2016. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rtd208 Posted October 3, 2022 Author Share Posted October 3, 2022 Picked up 0.05" of rain so far today. Picked up 1.22" of rain for the day yesterday Two day storm total of 2.34" Current temp 50 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBasile Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 Finished yesterday with 4.05 inches for the day. Have 0.18" so far today and 5.49" for the storm. There's some heavier stuff moving in now. I think this is the highest storm total here since Irene, even more than Sandy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Agnes Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 Finished up with 1.95" of rain Sunday and currently have 0.18" this morning for a total of 3.77" for the 4-day event. And sh*t - just looked at my temp and I'm at 44 with dp 42. I have a couple potted tropical plants still out that won't like that. I usually start bringing in the more temperature sensitive ones about mid-October as they don't like lows (consistently) below the mid-50s, which we hadn't yet reached yet. My subtropical ones should be fine and I usually start getting those ready by the end of October. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
