Was that the storm where RT140 was underwater? I also remember my work parking lot in Norwood was underwater a good 1-2ft. I had always thought it was like 08 or 09, but my memory could be f'dup

March 2010 maybe? I think that flooded the airport at KOWD too. This storm actually flooded rt 1 in Saugus. Like a mile of it was under water. I think Newburyport had 20" of rain in 4-5 days.

That Jan storm was not named.  Just assigned a number/system ID

NOUS41 KNHC 111500
PNSNHC

Public Information Statement
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
1100 AM EDT Thu May 11 2023

...NHC Determines That a Subtropical Storm Formed in the Atlantic 
Basin in Mid-January 2023...

Through the course of typical re-assessment of weather systems in 
the National Hurricane Center's (NHC) area of responsibility, NHC 
hurricane specialists have determined that an area of low pressure 
that formed off the northeastern coast of the United States in 
mid-January should be designated as a subtropical storm.  Specific 
information on the justification for the subtropical storm 
designation, as well as the system's synoptic history and impacts, 
will be available in a Tropical Cyclone Report, which will likely be 
issued during the next couple of months.

This subtropical storm is being numbered as the first cyclone of 
2023 in the Atlantic basin and will be given AL012023 as its system 
ID.  As a result, the next system that forms in 2023 in the Atlantic 
basin will be designated as AL022023, and advisories will be issued 
in AWIPS bin 2 (e.g., Public Advisories will be issued under AWIPS 
header TCPAT2 and WMO header WTNT32 KNHC).  If the system begins as 
a tropical depression, then it would be given the designation 
'TROPICAL DEPRESSION TWO', and if it becomes a tropical storm, it 
would be given the name 'ARLENE'.

National Weather Service policy (through NWS Instruction 10-607, 
Section 1) allows for marginal subtropical systems to be handled in 
real-time as non-tropical gale or storm events in NWS High Seas 
Forecast products.  This was the procedure followed for the unnamed 
subtropical storm in mid-January.  However, the lack of real-time 
issuance of advisories does not preclude NHC from retroactively 
designating these systems as a subtropical cyclones in 
post-analysis, if necessary.

Thanks to Kevin, I can't get "Dream of Steinifornication" out of my head. A combo of Kevin and Red Hot Chili Peppers. I'm even putting words to it. :lol: 

"Californication" is such a great and somewhat overlooked album.  It's actually how I introduced my kid to the Chili Peppers.  "By the Way" is a pretty damn good album too.

"By the Way" might be my favorite Chili Peppers song.  Something about the feel of the slower parts contracted with the faster parts has always been really gotten me going.

Radar looked promising for some showers but dissipated

5.5" RA in 5 days, then 5 drops (this morning) in the past week.  Black flies doing their thing, bees buzzing around and waiting for the apple blossoms to open, though they're doing fine with the white violets and dandelions in our lawn.

++BLFL (Heavy, heavy black flies), 71/52° F.

I don't think I recall them ever being this bad, and they're bad every year about now. There are literally dozens of them crawling on my arm at any given time if I spend anytime outdoors. Here I am looking like an idiot continuously helplessly waving my electric bug zapper tennis racquet thingy through the air. Nothing works against them.

Alas, yard work must get done and there's lots of dirt to move again this year. Tons of vernal pools for the black flies to just reproduce in thanks to that 42" snowstorm in mid March that had over 4" of LE.

Where exactly is this dirt moving to?

Dumb for a Met to say this. An agricultural dry condition is not a drought.

It's getting a bit ridiculous the obsession with "dry weather" the past few years. You would think we average like 80'' of rain a year. We're also transitioning from more synoptically driven to convectively driven precipitation.
