  1. storm severity was a surprise, power out more than 6 hours, measured 0.60"
  2. 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
  3. 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
  4. so far 0.15" for the event W of BWI
  5. nothing here so far, those green areas on radar have been splitting west and east as they head north
  6. 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.
  7. 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
  8. We've learned what area wide and widespread mean. Added 0.02" overnight for a monthly grand total of 0.17 W of BWI.
  9. still drier W of BWI than Carrie Nation's home town
  10. in case anyone is listening, the security certificate for forecast.weather.gov expired today, which means some folks can't view the site
  11. nary a drop today here W of BWI, still stuck at 0.15" for the month
  12. 0.15" total for the month W of BWI, not exactly what I was hoping for
  13. Totally busted the Trace previously recorded for the month thanks to the soaking 0.01" added today west side of BWI.
  14. hanging tough at 0.00T total for the month, it's a capital T so we good
  15. Drywall still intact here after today's T of tstorm sprinks
  16. I'd like some free water for the plants but whoever put up the drywall to our west did a heckuva job.
  17. 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
  18. in weather radar, yellow is the new green
  19. lots of the letter T in my station's snowfall logs this year, but given the cold temps, today I had to use a bigger T, woo hoo
  20. 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
  21. hail during the downpour but no thunder, peak gust of 42, temp now dropping
  22. Mr. Miyagi designed at least some of the models. You know, "Snow on, snow off." It's all just normal preparation for the real event.
  23. stormtracker trying to prevent imby jacker suicides, but tilting at windmills might be more effective
  24. 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.
