.35" yesterday and overnight. 2.16" for August.

I hope that you all don't mind me dropping in but I'm wondering how the weather is looking for Asheville next week, though it sounds a lot like it's been here the past few weeks. Anyway, we've never been there and have heard great things so we are hoping to get down before the summer passes by. Any tips on day hikes and breweries would be appreciated! Thanks!

Just another .35" overnight. 18.02" since July 1.

Picked up .95" in that storm. It's also very clear that anything of significance that falls this week is going to cause immediate flooding. There was still a lot of standing water throughout the neighborhood this morning at 5AM even though the rain stopped before midnight.

.51" overnight to start August. 16.21" for July. eta 43.09" for the year so far which is more than either total from 2016 or 2017.

I'm glad you escaped relatively unscathed but I would have loved to see that.

That sounds perfect for the regular trips we make to the Finger Lakes area! We still travel to a lot of different places, and though I've thought about getting a small trailer of some kind, the more axles that I have, the more nervous I get. Even trailering my little skiff down to my crabbing spot, I am always a little uneasy. Plus, I'd have to store it. But I totally agree with you that having something "permanent" in a go to spot is ideal.

I was goofing off in the backyard trying to get some pictures of the yellow finch feeding on the cone flower seeds, but he wasn't having it. The hummingbird wasn't interested in his feeder today either. But being the great hunter that I am, I did eventually found some wildlife. Be happy that I didn't post the fly pictures. They're kind of gross.

What kind of camping were you doing? I only use a sleeping bag and small air mattress when I'm backpacking which is not nearly as often as I'd like these days. But when car camping, we have an REI 4 man dome tent that sets up on a breeze and a cheap queen size Coleman air mattress from Target or Walmart that fits nicely with room to spare for our gym bag of clothes. We don't even use our sleeping bags but just a queen sheet set and a comforter. It's a great set up and easy. I even keep a plastic tub of the tent, air mattress, car plug-in inflator, clean sheets, and comforter all ready to go.

You're slowly catching up, and I won't mind at all if you pass me. I'm at 15.99" for the month and though I want to surpass 16, I'd be perfectly happy with 16.01"

Man, just cut a small branch off that willow and stick it in the ground. That weed will grow.

.96” today as of the last update, and I think 16.39” for the month. Still need another 2”

Are you heading back to CT today?

Just silly rates here.

All day I've been unconsciously singing, "There's got to be a morning after..." and thinking about Ernest Borgnine yelling at the preacher, Gene Hackman.

6.81" Saturday 0.82" Sunday 2.68" Monday 3.12" Tuesday 0.86 Wednesday 5 day total: 14.29" Looking at the forecast, I'm releasing the pairs of animals that I collected from the garage this morning. 

How did BWI only manage .03” last hour???

It’s pretty funny to be in a bar when a flash flood warning is issued. pouring in SW Bmore

I’m at Heavy Seas drinking another raspberry sour. Two hours ago a county truck pulled up in front of my house and dropped off a backhoe because a sewer line two houses up from us collapsed. It’s the county line and not a residential connection. And to think I’ve been worried about rain water getting into my basement. Needless to say, I’m not going home for awhile. I’m running the beer gamut here this evening.

Suddenly, BWI has a shot at the record!

I'm sure it isn't completely accurate and yes, I'd imagine that pink bullseye area should be filled in somewhat through AA county. And also probably overestimated in npz's backyard.

Yeah, most of that nearly 7" on Saturday came in about 2.5 hours starting around 9pm. Nonstop heavy rain. Here are the rain totals past 7 days (and probably since Saturday for most of us).

Man, that's nuts. Total here for the year is 40.54".

And do that without me getting any. It would be a shame to get this close and not beat it, so I'm in.

I know exactly what you mean. I am just up the hill from you and we have gotten 13.43". I may unplug my pump and see how high the water reaches. 6.81" Saturday 0.82" Sunday 2.68" Monday 3.12" Tuesday 13.43" total By the way, BWI is at 15.29" for the month.
