Ruin

Im not saying I know more but I know what I see on news reports when they claim we only got .75 of rain but the collector at my house which is near the reporting station they use has 1.33 inches. I know because I have seen how rainy the last few months have been. sure not every rain even is a downpour some days its just light rain all day but that adds up. Wed we just had .29 inches of rain and abc27 said only a trace? I had to cut my grass like 5 times in the last month its growing like crazy cause all the rain we have had. the th river has been hovering around 5-6.4 feet for most of the spring thats pretty healthy water lvl considering they say we are in a drought. The average water level (or gage height) of the Susquehanna River in Harrisburg during the spring typically ranges from 3.5 to 7 feet.so this is a average water depth. I also go fishing a ton with a group of friends streams and creeks water lvls are pretty healthy for this time of year. ive see way lower water levels in the past with less of a drought. so this is why I quesiton. I see what they say but I use my eyes to see as well and frankly its not mathing.

I drive a lot between both jobs and I like to go on trips just day ones when im off just to drive. I havent seen 1 area in PA that was dry as in brow grass or not as green grass except philly. Ive been all over the state too.

I keep hearing its dry and we are in a drought but wee have been very rainy last 3 months maybe a dry week every so often. I have water in my back yard 1 to 2 days after it rains anywhere over .25 that means that the water table is high due to it being rainy. I dont even live at the bottom of a hill I live on top of one in fact. I travel every week north east south in the state only place I see even a hint of brown grass was near phily. even during that crazy hot weather we had for a few days this month and earlier this spring didnt see it.

when we have weeks of wet weather and even have water pooling on my grass in my back yard for a day or 2 after the rain. esp when the map hardly changes at all or stays the same.

Again this map is no way near accurate im sorry its changed a bit but no way we should still be in the orange color

this is from 6 hours ago but how on earth does that part of lancaster county have no damn rain? this is how inaccurate weather reporting is imo.

yep they dont talk about how cold it is and hype it up as much they do when its 95 in may lol

had .30 yesterday last night the collector fell over so no reading.

when I had the landscaping crew putting in the trees they did a test and the moisture in the ground was like 46%-48%

we had above precip the last few months and this map hasnt changed. winter was a tad dry but I feel like they just keep releasing the same map cause they dont want to make a new one cause not many people even care about it. no way we are even close to any of this drought color.

Yep its way off it hasnt really been updated in like 2 months at least. I got close to 1.00 of rain in the last week that would put us even for the year.

another week we had a good amount of rain but still this map hasnt changed

I live in the orange area and we have had rain the last month like 2-3 days a week. while some of it was showers and was only .20 we had other rain events 1.24 1.01 .86 .66. May 5, 2026, Harrisburg has experienced rainfall total of 11.56 inches, which is a deficit (departure) of -1.39 inches compared to the 13.95 inches average typically seen by this date. we are only down 1.39 This update doesnt even include the thge last round of rain where we picked up about .40 so that means we are about a 1 inch down. no way we should be in the orange color of drought

still the same bs map they havent updated it tho they claim they have
