Maybe he was measuring a mud puddle in the wood pit with the broken chain? Using each link to count as an inch

Not 72hrs. Sorry, try again.

With the hit or miss heavy echoes, no different than a winter storm.

We get a lot of these with snow. Where it snows for days and days

Yeah he forgot to subtract out the 2” from the bottom of the log. Or maybe there’s some emerald ash borer displacing some of the water.

Thankfully in my area we had several hours when it didn’t rain on Saturday. Sun even came out for a bit Saturday morning.

Gotta say this has been one of the longest duration rain events I have ever witnessed. Rain started Friday night.

Maybe he was using a log for a rain gauge ? This limb is 8” and I think I got almost that much rain ….

2.79” event 0.83” today .

He measured and cleared every 6hrs

You hear that? Exactly! Nothing but the crickets. Blissfull. Rains have ended.

Don’t see anyone in ORH county near 7”. Interesting

5.23” here. Not on that NWS map. I just responded to their tweet There will be a lot of variation due to wind and leaves etc. Can gauges be too high?

Low of 57, high 83. Dew points climbed into the 60's today. Not as comfortable as the last 2 days.

:-) I coached my daughter's Class B softball team for a few years. Was really happy as they got older that we found a solid core of girls who genuinely liked each other and had good families. Made coaching a whole lot better. Watching that show brings back so many memories of the nut jobs we played against and kind of happy we are past that :-)

It would’ve been a good day to plant some seedlings today during the lulls. I’ll probably wait for a warmer, drizzly day in October though.

In a wet year you wouldn't see a single Rock. Colors are beginning to blossom. Pretty working in the woods today although wet

Nothing shows those amounts there

For 7 inches of rain it really didn't do that much. Ground handled it well. A little water in the basement of the old farmhouse but nothing dramatic. Back pond is still very low. Not that I want any more rain.

About 7.5” so far

Made a PDF report of winter storms from WV during that winter. Looks like some moisture bomb gulf lows translated to major winter storms for the ridges. Should bring some solace to know that even if we completely torch this winter snow, and maybe a blizzard, will only be a drive away. SED_events.pdf Charleston WV even has a map for a January event and notes the cutoff due to temperatures. Not sure I've ever seen a map like this! Look at the VA side, you have the blue ridge in Nelson county picking up over a foot of snow while the valleys had cold rain.
