I'd estimate 1" in past 24 hours W of BWI, my digital gauge was reading too low because it had a tiny leaf interfering with its tipping bucket, interesting that it was still registering a non-zero amount despite the leaf
digital says 0.19" so far for the event W of BWI, which sounds too low compared to my eyeballing rainfall rates, gotta put out an old-school gauge to compare
If we keep getting these "drought busters" the area is going to become a desert. Instead we need a "build an ark" event in which case we might net half an inch.
another 0.02" today brings May's total to 0.19", more misses than a 24-hour Vegas wedding chapel, radar shows that batch of rain moving east from WV is no match for the local drywall
Interpreting wx radar after color inflation:
green = partly cloudy,
dark green = cloudy,
yellow = virga,
orange = sprinkles,
red = moderate sprinkles,
purple = light rain,
blinking dark purple = rain,
radar inoperative = rain, sometimes moderate
Come out, Virginia, don't let me wait
You snow-holic girls start much too late
Aw, but sooner or later, it comes down to fate
This might as well be the one
You must be new here, Kay. The rules here require rooting for the imby jack, then suicide when, surprise, that does not happen. Lather rinse repeat.
I'll be happy if the rest of the month features interesting weather, but I'm just a renegade rules breaker.
