Currently moving through Lyndonville, Vermont. Was walking and there was a very close CTG bolt right over the college with the loudest thunder I have ever heard in September even in NY. Dark skies to my north with constant thunder.

One thing I have noticed is that the high mountains in this area really screw up radar, making storms look less impressive.

While the storms missed us here by a few miles (wow seems like Newton, NJ), we still had great views of the storms off in the mountains. Not a drop of rain here but 1" size hail and 2" of rain reported in Sheffield and Wheelock.

Nittany--Imagine an imaginary line from Sutton to East Haven, they got crushed within the past hour, and radar showed barely anything. The mountains ruin radar and it sucks bc you could really be caught offguard up here. Do you know Rt 114 N as you head toward Island Pond? The storm crossed 114 in East Haven and they got rocked..meanwhile, loud thunder continues here; I have to head over to Met Lab...what did you do in Met Lab today Nitt??

BTW Nitt, my friend said Burke Mountain got struck twice!! Good thing we didn't decide to drive up today, LOL!

Finally starting to get some interesting wx up there!  It's about time LOL.

John- Tilt the radar elevation angle and you can see it on radar much better!

More storms firing to our west and north, probably going to miss us. Another one to our south, see what happens there.

Haha we did a lab on maps in there today.

Thanks that was much better; I'm in Met Lab now. LOL he's handing back the lab from last week..Yea the storm looks like it's headed right for Lyndonville, severe t-storms warnings posted for Caledonia County again!!

http://www.wunderground.com/radar/radblast...mp;avg_off=9999

Hey!! This is a NY Metro Board!!!!! :P Start you own tread, like (I brought the storms up north)  ;)

Lab--get used to it; LOL!! The wx up here is going to get more interesting as we get closer and closer to winter...

BTW--Three cells headed right for Lyndonville right now.

http://www.wunderground.com/radar/radblast...mp;avg_off=9999

Edit: Three cells merged into two strong ones. Right on Lyndonville's doorstep; thunder getting louder.

Got absolutely pounded here in Lyndonville. Got most of the storm on video! Incredible lightning and ear-piercing thunder along with with very nice wind gusts (around 40mph-50mph) and heavy rain, some flooding on campus.

Strong cell just moved just east of town. Saw some impressive CTG bolts directly over Burke Mtn.

It got dark here at around 2:30pm but it cleared out and the sun came back out a little while later. It was another warm day, I hope tomorrow is Cloudy and Cool.

can u 2stop posting how ur getting slammed its not fair lol

Move off of LI and you would be able to do it too.

brett, can please move this to us weather discussions forum.   

i would think there could be a little leeway for the regular posters but whatever.  keep the updates coming guys.  i'll read them wherever they are posted.

sat only problem is if you let them slide others will do the same.  Than the board will become cluttered with snow falling in alaska threads.

it has nothing to do with leeway or being strict.  just keeping the forums organized.  there is a us weather discussion section for a reason.

let's leave it at that and keep the discussion to weather  :smile:

ok no problem.

I disagree. There was no reason to move this thread; it's not like we were discussing weather in Oregon...the weather we got up here was associated with the same front moving through NY/NJ tonight but whatever.

not that u guys may care, but i do think this should be in the us  section not metro. jmo.  by the way  who the named those towns up there? ;)

Had on and off thunderstorms all evening

Total of 1.37" of rain so far and more expected overnight and tomorrow

john you make a good point....will keep it in mind for future threads.

anyway, I don't think it rained here overnight.  strange.  we need our rain!!

Brett, Why not start a North East Thread? Could help add members, Nit and John can have Tee shirts made up to advertise it.

that's actually not a bad idea.  the in question front connecting jersey and vt. runs from maine to southern states...so where would the boundry end?  i think perhapse a separate northeast threads would be coo.

Agreed, that would be a good idea

someone please start a new thread in the ot with that idea

???, you can say that with every state.  Sooner or later the storm will make it the east coast ::)  .  Nothing against you and nittany  but come winter time this place will get busy with posts on this area alone.    I dont understand why you just cant post in this section.  When I saw your thread the other day I assumed tsorms were coming in our ny area, than I opened the thread and I was like wtf.  Its just makes it a little confusing,
