As a Frederick denizen, it's amazing what a difference 50 miles has made this summer.  I got a co-worker near Upper Marlboro that sends me pictures of mushrooms in his yard, and I send him pictures of my brown yard.

I’ve begun to accept that Frederick is now a semi-arid steppe climate, until further notice. The outcome this summer has been similar to the front range of the Rockies. I don’t expect the pattern to change until the jet stream dips south in the Fall and finds a way to tap into the Gulf/Atlantic.

Waiting to see my first tumble weed here in Ballenger Creek...

Are there any spots still available in the Panic Room?  I'm asking for a friend.

Euro owes me like 3” of rain for the last few days

You will get NO rain, and you will be happy with it!  LOL

43 fog and .97” for the day so far. 

The fog is getting thicker....and Leon is getting larger....

Did someone say it's over?  It's not over until we say....  Oh, nevermind.  It's over...

Just emptied the CoCoRaHS rain gauge on my deck here in Ballenger Creek (Frederick, MD).  4.05" since midnight.  My Acurite Atlas rain gauge came up with 3.89" so far.

Did you see those last two lightning strikes! 

Didn't really see them, but one shook the house.  Guessing a positive strike.

Got the same here. Not sure what happened. My friend over in Lovettsville had horizontal rain. Crossed the Potomac and regular rain storm. 

Disappointed here in Frederick given the hype.

6.3 inches at home now.

Wow!  I'm  in the Ballenger Creek area, just passed 5".  More than 4" of that fell between 5:45 and 7:30 this morning.

Just had some pea sized hail out of the storm that just came through.

I got a mix of pea to marble sized hail just a little east of you.  Made quite a racket with the wind blowing it into windows on west side of house.  Got 0.56" in 10 minutes with that storm.

Pretty good marble sized hail in the Ballenger Creek area of Frederick.

Well, nothing more than a sprinkle in Frederick so far, but wind is really picking up.

Snow has turned from all snow, to snow and sleet,  to now just rain in Frederick.  I'm sitting at 33....

Snowing in Frederick!

1.94" so far in Frederick in the past hour IMBY.

I got a hundred problems, but a drought is not one of them.
