It's raining! And possibly snowing!

hopefully this breaks the drought and puts out the 1100 acre wildfire in massachusetts that isn't too far from me.  Other than 3/10th of an inch of rain two weeks ago, this is the first storm since the beginning of September. My parents had one other small storm at the end of September, but the whole northeast is parched. There's been a burn ban for months which is very unusual. Might even get close to an inch of rain! 

It might snow overnight but at the higher elevations, my parents definitely are getting snow but I probably won't.

Glad you're getting some rain!

What came through here last night had a bad case of dramatic; longest roll of thunder I've ever heard, somewhere above twenty seconds.

No signs of snow yet, hereabouts, though the forecast is starting to allow as how it's possible.

Yes! Rain! This is the second time this week we are getting measurable rain. We keep hearing the local authorities bounce back and forth from “hey rain is coming” to “hey, red-flag warning/burn ban!”

I'm pretty sure our burn ban here on the West Coast has quite thoroughly drowned. At my house we are up to about 8 inches, 6 of which has fallen in the last 2 days.

Oh yes! I follow the NWS out of Sacramento. They have some Things To Say about the weather this week.
