H2O

Pretty much the same precip amounts as *checks notes* the desserts of MX.

Happy mommas day to all our moms here!! @mappy @Mrs.J @Demeter @diatae @Wxtrix 4 legged critters counts sorry if I forgot anyone

I’ve always found that kids peeing in it warms it up quick

WTF fans rejoice!!!

Hey, i remember when weather was forecast by the cows laying down and how many times the rooster crowed. Per wiki, of course. Not that i personally forecast that way. Hazy sunshine currently/

Some nice rumblers to go with the downpours this morning

1.83"

I think I got almost .5” in 3 hours

Dang. Just rolled up to 1” quick

.85"

.66"

Standard depth for water mains was 4’. Deeper than that was called over depth and the contractor charged more so every attempt was made to be at 4’. Gas was supposed to be min 3’ along with electric and telephone. Cable was notorious for being more shallow. Even at 4’ water mains here are subject to the impacts of the freeze thaw cycle. Most main breaks were between Nov-Mar due to the heaving of the soil. Part of what we did was replacing the older mains that became more prone to breaks from cold weather.

Woooo soaker day!

I think its part of the annual replacement program. If a new tower is built then added pressures will blow out old pipes. And yes, those are original pipes so those go back to the 1950-60s. We always tried to work with VDOT to find out what roads they planned to pave in any given year and get in beforehand. Makes zero sense to have them pave, we come in and tear things up and have to pave it ourselves. Didn't work perfectly all the time but when it did its a beautiful thing. Enjoy a new water main!!

Ah my old job. Surveying for replacing old water mains that break all the time. Or is this a bigger main to go along with some new water tank deal? I know they were doing a bunch of stuff to bolster up the pressures and stagnant water issues right when I left. The process in which this all works is so fun.

.55” but I think I lost some precip. Gauge was clogged and had to mess with the Davis Pro to clean it out I’ll take any rain I can get tho

87° rooting for 90°

It’s not dry everywhere but I have patches that are turning brown and crispy to walk on

My grass is already brown and crunchy like August

Only 37 here

That was pathetic for rain all weekend

And now that the Caps dismal season is done I really hope Lavs isn’t brought back. We need a new coach willing to play younger players

The only place the team should be is in DC. All the magic left the team when they moved

I absolutely HATED that part of the water bills. You have no idea how many times I had to explain that to customers. That and how they thought tax dollars went to pay for us. Nope. You flushy, you pay. You brushy teethy, you pay. You need to have greenest grassy, you pay. We are like the cable bill. But not as assholish.
