skierinvermont Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Some good rains here already.. and this is before the good stuff was supposed to arrive anyways. Getting very excited for some kayaking this week with the higher rivers finally... they've been low all summer and fall and this one should finally bring them up to a good level as the groundwater has built back up already. Hoping for 1"+ to really get things going Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skierinvermont Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Ugh, who the heck cares about heavy rain? I had to drive around Westchester tonight and I was hydroplaning all over the place on the Saw Mill...brutal. I am starting to appreciate other kinds of weather besides snow and cold.. I've gotten into wind and thunderstorms, now I'm moving onto rain. Although I've always enjoyed a good flood.. now even a half inch of rain is precious. Still not a big fan of big heat waves in practice (although I like all extremes from an observational point of view). This event is shaping up at or better than expectations so far.. the first band dropped a good .25" across most of the state I think already, and the second band is filling in nicely off the delmarva.

Logan11 Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Hope you wear a wetsuit. LOL I went kayaking one last time before putting them away. This was Sunday on the Schoharie Creek near here and I recorded a water temp. of 43F. You wouldn't really want to take an unexpected plunge into the water this late in the season.

I'm not sure it's that cold down here yet.. the water was cold but not icy last weekend, maybe upper 40s? I'm thinking of buying one if I keep this up. You must have some good kayaking up there. Were you doing the whitewater section of the Schoharie? I see there are some class III sections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherwiz Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Been pouring here off and on all night. I wonder how much rain we've gotten, I'd definitely say over 0.50''...maybe close to an inch? Going to get some sleep for a few hours...HOPEFULLY I don't miss the thunderstorms, should they hold together. I'll put my MP3 player on sleep mode so it shuts down in a few hours so if anything happens I can hear it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moneypitmike Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 45/44 here. Just got back from Cambridge (sadly for Grandma's funeral - 101 years old!) and had a really foggy ride back. However, sun was out for the outdoor part of the ceremony and temps in the mid 50's. I was amazed that trees in Cambridge and Boston (Arnold Arboretum/Forest Hills) still had quite a few leaves and some really nice color still. Felt like October there compared to W. Ma. I'm sorry for your loss, Chris. 101 years old--she had quite a run. I hope you and your family are holding up well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moneypitmike Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Quite the rainy morning. As of 4:45, there's .82" since midnight; .93" on the storm. As it's raining heavily, those numbers reported now are really fluid (no pun intended). I like the look of that line approaching the Hudson. Hope it holds and passes through here! Hope Wiz can see the warches/warnings that are up and cash in on something good. Also, nice to see that wind advisory up with gusts to 50mph (55mph in the ZFP).. 45.5/44.
