  1. Well, I wasn't expecting 8 inch rates or one of the best light shows of the year but...here we are!
  2. Picked up 0.32". Now I know what it's like to see rain in the desert. Or snow in Vegas...
  3. I read the news article that says Vegas averages 4 inches of snow in November, but according to the NWS, Vegas averages 0.2" of snowfall all year. "Snow itself has fallen in about two-thirds of the winter seasons at least once, however, it usually melts as it falls. Measurable snow at the official climate station typically occurs once every four or five years, however, higher elevations on the valley's west side such as the Summerlin area see measurable snow about every three years or so."
  4. Looking forward to the rain. Too many fires around here. The fire at the Glassboro Wildlife Management Area is just a couple miles from here. The wind is out of the south now and the smoke has engulfed my neighborhood. Here's a couple photos from over the last couple days. Evesham Twp fire. Glassboro Wildlife fire.
  5. Was out on my local bike path today. There's a section that crosses a small swamp, and this is the first time I've ever seen it dried up. You can see the water line on the trees where the level normally is.
  6. We've had some seriously beautiful weather, but I can't remember a drought like this. My weather station hasn't recorded a single drop of rain this month and only 0.75 inches of rain since August 29. And judging by the models, this October may very well be the only month I've ever recorded zero measurable rainfall. Crazy!
  7. I did see some photos from Florida as well. My phone had no problem capturing it. Will have to check the SLR tomorrow to see what was captured.
  8. It peaked again and was actually naked eye visible. Much more brilliant this go.
  9. Best I could get with the drone and all of the light pollution. Needed a camera to "see" anything.
  10. With our beautiful weather here and friends still in Orlando, I'm all geeked out right now. lol
  11. The weather down here in Orlando has been crap for last couple of days, but today is actually pretty nice. The calm before the storm, I guess. Wish I could stay to check out this beast, but flights are gonna be a mess for the next few days.
  12. Thanks. I know someone who refuses to leave as well. Some people...
  13. They won't be open. I'm at Universal and they have already announced their closing. They have hotel staff that bring their families and pets and ride it out while working.
  14. And then down to 897. Crazy. I'm in Orlando now with a flight out tonight. It's a bit eerie watching the hotel and the area prepare. Lots of people checking out early, everything outside being put into storage. Strangely quiet for such an active resort. Hopefully nothing happens to my flight or else I'll be spending a few extra days down here. MCO is shutting down tomorrow morning.
  15. At the Freedom Mortgage Pavillion in Camden. One of the longest lasting, brightest, and most colorful double rainbows I've ever seen. Has been around almost 30 minutes now and still going strong.
  16. Temp down to 62F now, 0.37" of rain. One of the best storms of the summer. lol
