Might be one last hurrah…not sure if it will be enough for 3 tenths but it has a chance if you can get under one of the heavier echoes and they don’t weaken. 
 

 

Going to finish with 9.99 LOL. The news at 6 said one station reported 11.63. Don't know if that was a trained spotter or a hobbiest. I didn't see any amount that high on wundermap for Cranston. Have to say though when the rain first started yesterday the rate was 5.34 and by far the loudest rain I've ever heard. You could here it coming. I live 1/4 mile from the highway and told my wife that's not the sound of cars from the highway. 2 minutes later massive rain drops and the defining sound it made. It was incredibly loud for about 5 minutes.

4.22" in Hopkinton Ma for the event so far, looks to be about it.

I think my one melt in the middle of an event was the firehose rain storm in mid-March 2010. We missed a 2-3 foot paste bomb by like 1C over the interior. (We actually had a little wet snow at the beginning)

Everyone has at least one. Some have hundreds, lol. 

One of the worst ones I had was Ginxy talking about tobogganing on 3" of snow and how that was fine. I lost it. Than late Jan 2015 came.

January 2014 here.  Leon can eat a fat one.  Cutter-suppression-cutter-suppression-cutter-suppression.  More inches of rain than snow for 2-3 weeks.

Below normal temps too, if I'm remembering correctly. 

Anyway, back to this one.  Up to 1.41" and still raining.

Yes thanks we custom built in 2018, been doing all the yard and landscaping on my own every year since. Grass was perfect until stein got her this year. Finally finished the pool and landscaping around it this summer.

That was legendary.  Like a wet 2” and talking about sledding through mud with a couple inches of wet snow on top.

[acoolerclimate]

7.93 inches as of now in North Providence for the 2 days. Most rain I have ever personally measured in this amount of time.

About damn time.  Time for fall prep work and overseeding now.

One last little heavier burst over me right now

Is that like 20-25% of your annual average for water?  That’s wild.

Pretty close! 42 to 46 is average.

Ginxy just smiling as grandkids fly off the toboggans and airlifted to Hartford area hospitals.

I always say that was the week a toddler-aged Bryce learned all the swear words.

I got the same exact total 3.38" Sunday, 0.84" today.

[TauntonBlizzard2013]

3.22” storm total. Looks like we are about done.

 

Nice event. Didn’t get into the Uber rates, but a nice 36+ hour soaking.

That’s insane, almost hard to believe (not saying I don’t) because so often there are slight inconsistencies in small amounts that widen with the bigger the rainfall.

[mreaves]

Looks like 1.48” will be it. Foliage season saved!

Yeah for sure, if anything the Stratus is a few points low.  When you have to take the center tube out and top off, then pour to fill 8 times, bound to lose a few drops.
