Super obscure reference, bro. But I like it.
-
46 degrees. 0.08" of rain so far. Been consistently showery all morning, just not coming down all that hard.
-
This Epstein dude must really have some epic meltdowns during the winter when he can’t obsessively tend his garden to take the edge off.
-
Gotta stay on top somehow.
-
Although I see he didn't record any rain after 0930. We had several large showers come through after that. No way they all missed his location. Se it seems his numbers are not totally complete.
-
The Randolph CoCoRaHS observer recorded 2.10" for the storm. I recorded 3.10" in my PWS. I'm going to assume his readings are more correct, because I can't see there being a full inch difference in rainfall between our two locations.

Old cartoons told me you wash your big ol' hound dog with tomato juice in a large steel tub when he is skunked. I don't believe these modern recipes will work.

I saw 4 in a row earlier. Gideon/Collins/Gideon/Collins They just flowed one into the next, as if they were synchronized by the two campaigns. People in Maine must be so done with it
-
So I guess my "local" TV market is Portland, ME. Holy crap these Collins/Gideon ads are endless. One after the other. Must be a super tight race.
-
Picked up another quarter inch today in showers.

Or the penultimate scene is him bursting into the chief’s office, throwing down his badge, and saying “Next time, call somebody else... me, I have some unfinished business with a special someone.” The chief can only shake his head and mutter, “But you always were the best, Jer...” Final image is a freeze frame of Jerry piloting a boat near Miami towards the sunset with a blonde in a bikini at his side. Soundtrack by Danny Elfman.

You banged the right drum on this one. Drought may not be totally over in some areas, but a dent has been put in it with more rain on the horizon.
-
Clearing now and chilly. 54.
-
It was kind of weird that the CoCoRaHS observer measured exactly 1" from 12-7. Seems a little too clean to me. I'm guessing that's just because his manual gauge was full. I assume he has some other method to catch any overage once the gauge fills up?
-
Just ordered one! Will be able to compare next time it rains to see if my PWS is off the mark.
-
I'm not sure how accurate my gauge could even be since the rain blows sideways here constantly.
-
Looking at my station history, there are no weird spikes on the rain totals. It just gradually goes up. So doesn't seem like an obvious malfunction. I was tracking closely to the CoCoRaHS observer through 12 AM yesterday (he had 0.31" I had 0.24"). But he says he received 1.00" exactly from 12 to 7 AM. My gauge says I received 1.95" during that span. LOL Not sure what happened there.
-
No, just my weather station. There is a PWS on wunderground fairly close (down on rt 2 in the main town) but it doesn't appear to have captured any precipitation data. I have plans to get a second small setup somewhere else in the yard so I can do some comparisons. Either way, it rained buckets here and I am satisfied with that.
-
Yeah, his reading has me doubting my reading a little. I will wait to see what his final report looks like. Obviously many variables at play.
-
Been getting blasted for hours now. Rain gauge just crossed 3 inches, not sure I believe it. It has been pretty accurate all summer so far. I guess I have no reason to doubt it now. Maybe the wind is affecting the reading?
-
Well filling back up nicely.
-
Weather station says I gusted to 50. Drought will be busted here for sure.
-
Got blasted overnight. 2.4” now and water came in my front window.
-
Closing in on a quarter inch.
-
Real nice rain here now.
