That’s wild! I wonder if the concrete dry ground coupled with the rates made it worse, kinda like flooding in the west

Pretty impressive decadal -PDO state we are in. I wonder if the mid-latitude low pressures will ever come back like they were for the 82-83 and 97-98 El Nino's.

Mod rain, ground soaking it up like a sponge. 54F/DP 51F

was raining very moderately last 30 minutes in the city..

central park will probably get more rain today then last night..

A few hours of showers once or twice a week will not reverse this long term drought.

Opinions on N half of ATL metro over next 4 days…should just about everyone expect 1-3”?

It finally got here overnight. It rained .25. Then it started back around 10 this morning and has been coming down pretty decently for the last hour. No thunder at all. I don't think it's thundered here that I remember, since spring started.

+7c is about to pop in the far eastern subsurface on TAO/Triton. That's the warmest so far, and the subsurface is still strengthening according to that.

I'm about 2 miles from DCA and they got a little under .5". I got 1.5-2 (bucket test). I need to replace my digital rain gauge.

Yeah that's the exact ramp I take to get on the highway going home each day. Thank God I decided to bail

Pretty amazing mostly whiff around Fallston last night - storms approached and then somehow reformed around the farm to the east around 5:00 - then lighter rain for a few hours. Wasn’t a shutout but was absolutely frustrating. So far today training achingly close just to the north of Fallston. I hope like hell it sinks south a bit this PM. We really need a sustained amount of rain on the fields at the farm.

Yeah weekend's shot anyway might as well get some good rain

Really nice rain this am. Short term best rain in months in NW burbs.

Might as well just need the drought, some moderate rain had the same effect when it’s 49 and raw as drizzle. .

1.17” imby/Columbia since Wednesday afternoon.

Models ramping up now for this weekend. 1.5 to 3"

Another chilly morning with temps in the mid 20's thru the 30's across NE MN. Looking forward to warmer temps starting next week. Heater still kicks on yet. I keep it on all year round. In the summer, a chilly morning can kick it on. Keeps the spider webs from collecting, and I know it'll run when the cold wx returns.

From 7 AM thru 1:30 PM on Jan 26, we enjoyed some of the prettiest, and slowest falling (<2 ft/sec) feathers we've seen - 6.0" in 6.5 hours. Walking on that 6" was like walking on air; I figured that the 6" had less than 0.2" LE and was shocked that it melted to only 0.08", or 75:1. Twice I've had storms of 4.5" with just 0.10" LE, 45:1, and once a 1" dusting had only 0.01", but 6" at 75:1 was something I thought impossible. Jan 25-27 data: 25: 2 -13 0.17" 2.0" 15" 26: 10 -1 0.55" 17.0" 28" (peaked at 30") 27: 15 -4 0.05" 0.6" 25

drought continues here

Wow. Beautiful .

Funny how things kind of even out
