NorEaster Elsa

So is she a Nor'easter if she sneaks in from the SE?

She's a Nor'easter if she sneaks in from any direction.

We got almost 6" down in the Dixie of New England (New Haven, CT) in a 24 hour period. I don't remember getting that much rain in a long long time here.
 
I was on a plane last night with a couple from CT, they got at least 6" before it moved off
 
3-4 inches in much of Maine, with a few higher hotspots. I was just down in Mass on the north shore and there was a lot more rain down there.

Sadly, the headwaters of the major rivers in western Maine got next to nothing. Those rivers are looking at record drought conditions with no end in sight.

I was in Greenville last week and returned to CT yesterday. My guess is only an inch or slightly more fell. As you said, river and lake levels are really low. The silver lining is the grouse population, the birds near our place are already on brood #2 for the season. Should be another big crop come late September. And the mayfly (hexagenia) hatch was awesome, the trout got fat the last couple weeks.

Yes, the Kennebec, Androscoggin and Penobscot headwater are all way below normal, and all got missed by Elsa--and by another big rain that is hitting southern NH and coastal Maine today, but again forecast to miss upstate.

I should have been fishing hexes last weekend, but had a family commitment that had me down in Mass. chasing stripers and celebrating my birthday with a fantastic seafood dinner. The fishing did not live up to the dinner!
