Absolutely nobody wants snow in October

What if I do. 

Sun in Hunt Valley! SUN!

3.94" for a total so far

46 with off/on heavy rain 

45, raining. gross. 

the rain gauge sensor on my station isn't reporting, radar says I've picked up 1.85 since yesterday morning. On top of the 1.7 I got the day before, so sitting somewhere near 3.5"?

LWX radar would imply a decent slug of rain incoming. 

decent rain here, yellows kind of collapsed as the area came south out of PA

43, drizzle, 1.78" rain so far

lol ravens. What a dumb call not to get the FG 

1.5” so far

Pumpkin is worse than carrot

0.7 up this way.

I didn’t hear Dr. Knabb say what the poster claimed he said and I’ve had the channel on nonstop. He was saying landfall could be any moment, not that Ian had made landfall.

because it hadn't made landfall until just now. near Georgetown.

People need to be careful what they're posting.

That area is definitely in the highest surge area now. Hopefully with enough forward motion the water won't pile up too high.

In-laws in Hilton Head got some decent winds and rain, but no surge there with the winds off the mainland. Probably some flooding in the creeks with NW-facing mouths, but likely not a huge deal.

Pawleys Island and Murrels Inlet all getting hit hard too. 

Glad the in-laws are good and safe! 

Garden City, SC -- we stay about 3-4 blocks north of where this was taken. I imagine the parking garage for our condo building is all water. At least our condo building all the units themselves are elevated, and almost every single family home in the area on Waccamaw Drive are all on stilts.

Not sure how high the camera is, 6-8 feet I’m sure. St James City, Captiva, Sanibel are all at or below 7’ elevation. Entire islands washed over. Oy.

I have no skin in this game (key lime pie is the best thing in the world but a good carrot cake is pretty good too…), but if you’re looking to vary the key lime pie game, might I suggest Bon Appetit’s cranberry-lime pie? I make it every year for Thanksgiving and to be honest it’s the best part of the meal: 

Cranberry-Lime Pie http://www.bonappetit.com/recipe/cranberry-lime-pie

 

 

Yay to another key lime lover! Thanks for sharing that recipe, sounds delish

Forgive me for querying "Wonder what Ian will be up to this weekend", logically finding "Tropical Headquarters --> Hurricane Ian" and hoping it might be the place

And its still being discussed. Just scroll by the posts that dont interest you and youll be okay. Promise

I already asked: can we please make 1) a thread for post-FL landfall discussion, etc... etc..; and 2) a current obs/model discussion thread?

I'm still in this path, and have to sift through 40 posts about FL damage, climate ramblings, etc. to see any discussion on future Ian.

I too will be impacted by its remnants this weekend, but you don't see me asking for information about that here. I go to my subforum. You should do that.

I think its all fine to be here. Ian is back over water, heading for the southeast coast. If you need specifics, you should mosey on over to your subforum, I hear there is a thread there.
