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