Our storm is pulling away slowly as we speak, and it will bring an end to our second wettest month ever. Some highlights (or low lights)
- Yesterday's storm gave us just over 4 inches of rain in Boston, upping our annual total to 21.08 inches of rain. That is a staggering 10 inches above normal values!!
- We are not even in April yet and we have already received over half of our total annual average precipitation of 42 inches.
- At Blue Hills observatory, where they have been keeping weather data for the longest period of time in all of New England, March 2010 will go down as the wettest month EVER at just over 18 inches of rain.
- Severe river and stream flooding will be happening today as cresting stages reach their max height. Some of the worst flooding is down by the RI/MA border and in Cranston, RI where the Pawtuxet River will reach a flood stage of 21 feet. The previous record was 15 feet!
- This was not just abnormal for humans. Take a closer look at how some animals are reacting to all of this rain. Birds are having a feast today as worms escape the over saturated ground.
That is all I have for now. A big warm up is on its way, starting tomorrow and lasting through the weekend. We definitly deserve it.
Congratulations to Kelly and Brian for getting the news that they are expecting a girl! That's two nieces on the way now!
