Itstrainingtime

Well, at least we salvaged a really nice Sunday after initial forecasts had the clouds and drizzle potentially lasting into the afternoon. Perhaps by later this week, the weekend forecast won't be so threatening. My in laws are down on OBX right now (Kill Devil Hills) and today's forecast is for clouds, showers and a high of 55. 55 on the North Carolina coast on May 9th. Oh, and there's NE wind blowing through tomorrow night at 30-35 mph sustained with gusts to 50. My wife called her mother last night - in laws are oceanfront, and the house was shaking a lot.

I mean...I think it fits. In my language, this week looks really nice.

Morning low was 40, already up to 48.

Actually my low was 41 as well. I have a friend in Bainbridge who recorded 4.22".

Rain has stopped and radar is drying out...rainfall total is 4.16". We'll see if any additional showers pivot this far west overnight but we should be done.

Just hit the 2" mark for the 2nd day in a row. 4.12" total so far.

Just passed the 4" mark. Moderate rain and 44.

Temp here has been slowly but steadily falling all day - from 50.2 at 8am to the current 45.6

A lot of Lanco is now in a dry slot, at 3pm my storm total is 3.64"

MDT recorded 2.17" yesterday which matches up well against my 2.12". I'm surprised by how much rain I've gotten since midnight- now up to 1.18"

50 and light to moderate rain continues here. 2.12" of rain fell yesterday. 1.09" has fallen since midnight. 3.21" of total rainfall and more to come.

Good for him. Nice to see the shots falling tonight. Obviously, Sunday night will be the biggest game of the season.

Nearly 6 hours later, sitting at 2.10" now.

2.01" and the rain has tapered off for now.

1.29" to be exact at 2pm. Current temp is 54.

.31" in the bucket so far with a steady light to moderate rain.

Put me down for 1.36" total for MDT.

It absolutely was. And safe travels - DC traffic is never fun at any time during any weather.

Seriously, that was incredible. What a great thing to read heading into staff meeting!

That is awesome! Very well done.

Yep, there are so many things that people are involved with these days. I hesitate to say this because I'm really go to show my age here...life just seemed a lot simpler years ago. Not as many things vying for attention.

Yes indeed...going to feign a look of disappointment Saturday morning, say the "right" things to my wife...all while smiling on the inside.

We have the same issue here at work - we used to rely heavily on students to fill our busiest season (May through the beginning of September) but we can't find the numbers that we used to, and those that do work are only available until the end of the first week of August. We get a little over 2 months from most of them, and that's it. I have very fond memories of swimming at Caledonia as a child. My grandparents had a cabin about 5 miles north of the park up off Rt. 233. We'd have big family gatherings during the summer, and all of us kids were sent down to the pool to work off extra energy. LOL

Not a good start to the community pools season.

Well, a rainy dreary Saturday allows me to watch basketball in peace instead of feeling like I need to be outside working.
