Next time you head to Jim Thorpe and it's a weekend, let me know. I only live about 20 minutes from there. We could meet up and have lunch somewhere.

That would be great! To be clear, my agenda is to ride the Lehigh Gorge Railroad. (this week they're running steam)

Yeah you were the jackpot, whereas my official morning reading is .07" oof.  There's been a couple of occasions since I've been keeping data where I believed I had the highest total in the state, or at the every least higher than anything reported through Cocorahs, NWS spotters, ASOS, etc.  Always kind of exciting when that happens, at least I think so.  I was thinking that may have been you yesterday but radar estimates have a swath up in Pike County receiving a bit more and sure enough there is a fella on Cocorahs outside of Milford who reported 3.23".  On the bright side, I did dip into the 60s last night, bottoming out at 69, so there's that ha.

Ironically, my wife and I were planning a day trip to Jim Thorpe yesterday, but I pulled the plug when I woke up and saw they were under a Flood Advisory at 8am. I knew that NE PA was getting hit hard...I just never expected that we would as well.

That's a Maytown bullseye. I was wondering what surrounding areas received- clearly I was squarely in the hot zone.

2.45" for the day.

A man with two meanings for his name.  The boss. 

Lot of thought went into that.

What in fresh hell is this!? Maytown gonna get pummeled with more while I get fringed yet again. @Itstrainingtime what are trying to pull?? Taking it on the chin tonight. @Bubbler86 forget that beer, pap is gonna need a Manhattan tonight ha. 

It just started pouring here again.

Friend...itstrainingtime.

It's uncanny how badly I got fringed here.  Like absolutely pathetically unreal.  Mega storms all around me for hours, within a couple miles, in all directions, and yet I never got a direct hit of anything heavy.  I have like .05" in the gauge.  Can't believe the difference between @Itstrainingtime and me, sickening.  Although the wife and I were out in the Maytown area during some of it and yeah it was biblical over that way for a bit.  Congrats to those who made out.  I really needed it ugh.

Wow...just wow. Sorry.

During the middle of the deluge I went to run an errand in Mount Joy, and it was VERY obvious that they had nothing like we did. I know you don't live in town, but I thought of you regardless and wondered how you were making out. I sort of assumed you didn't get what I did, but I sure as heck thought you had more than that. Geez...

Sounds like it’s training (thunderstorm) time.

It certainly was - I think, unless things change again, that the worst is past and it should be mainly lighter rains over the next hour or so. We'll see soon enough.

Crazy. We have about 0.01" since Saturday and that has all fell in the last five minutes. Have been missing stuff in all directions for the last five days. Getting frustrating lol

I get it...it's not fun being on the outside looking in. Really was hoping that everyone here would win today. Hopefully that still pans out.

Thanks!  Some days it does not work out.  I know Training had been in a rut so he broke out of that today. 

I'm pulling for you...I have more than enough at this point. Sort of expected this to happen. I'm sure that there are some in my 'hood that are dealing with water in basement issues now. 

Still raining - 2.23" in the till. Water running everywhere. 

1.62" with light rain still falling. 

Come on Bubbler...

I’d guess 1”+ inbound

Here's hoping.  Now up to 0.72" with very heavy rain.

1.33" here and heavy rain.

Looks like some people will get 2-4" today.  If that second line makes it here (praying as its my last chance before drought mode) it could double up for some people.

Lightning is scary here. Power is flashing on and off repeatedly. 

Loud thunder. Pouring rain. Very dark. We are making up for lost time quickly.

2 minutes ago, Bubbler86 said:

Wow, good for you.  Gas up the mower? That first line shows it is over me on radar but nothing falling. 

Hopefully everyone gets some beneficial rain today. I definitely feel fortunate right now. Mower is in position...

Some nice cells popping up just to our south.

That first line sort of popped out of no where.  Hit it or miss with it.  Finger crossed. 

Already up to .22" here. Very dark with thunder. Feeling pretty good right now. 

Got up to 89 at 2:15. Clouds moved in and light rain is now falling.

Up to 87 here...

CTP is sticking to their "it's def going to rain today" stance. 

They did just update temperatures though - early this morning my forecast high was near 80, now it's 85. Good thing they did that, it's currently partly sunny and 84 here.

Seems to be a regular summer these days with large areas facing drought concerns even if on D0 or D1.  The drought map may be coming back next week if the pattern plays out like the GFS and Euro predict. 

There is a remarkable difference between my home and work, which is 12 miles south of me. Yards look healthy and rain has been plentiful. The dry areas seem to be more spotty in nature this year, but where it's dry it's been very much so.

Just now, Mount Joy Snowman said:

So true.  Take Lancaster County for instance, my little area in the northwest part of the county is well under average the past couple of months while the rest of the county is fine.  I've only gotten an inch in the past three and a half weeks.

.86" during that time for me.

Over here we stopped mowing last week.  This happened a month earlier last year but have not heard a mower since June.   No dirt patches yet just brown grass again.   We had some rain July 3rd but nothing since.

No mowing here, brown spots all over the place. Did some trimming but that is it. 

I've only mowed twice since returning from vacation on June 12th. Or I should say, I've only mowed once since June 13th.

High today was 97 yet again, it's settled back to 94 now. Much breezier right now than yesterday, which is good. 

Welcome back Stephen! Sorry our weather is just a little different than up in Alaska. I can't wait to hear more about your time in such a beautiful place. 

97/72 here. Sweltering is an understatement.

94 at 1:15pm.

Skeptical about how much higher we'll get...lots of towering cumulus blocking the sun a fair amount now.

Welp...

96.3 at 2:10pm. Still climbing...
