  1. It’s just so wet. So incredibly wet. The next 4-5 days are going to be glorious.
  2. Long-term trends have me thinking that the sun will stop producing sunspots in the next 20-30 years, leading to quite a few good winters in these parts. Then the rubber band will snap back and the sun will explode in hellish fury that sends out flares large enough to envelop the earth. Nobody will experience good winters after that.
  3. I fully admit that I can be a sh*thead.
  4. It’s sunny and really warm in Richmond right now. Like a nice summer day.
  5. I’d like to make a rule that all weather talk should be banned from banter. I’d also like to make a rule that all fun be removed from the world.
  6. It’s kind of dreary. The temps are nice and all, but I’m starting to tire of rain.
  7. October snow sucks for every reason one could think of. Let’s give it a miss.
  8. Kids can’t handle heat like that.
  9. In before the server craps out again!
  10. Looks like we picked up about 1.5” in Burke yesterday/overnight. My soaked sponge of a yard claims there was more, though. Really heavy shower just passed though. Poured for a good 10 minutes, which resulted in rapids rushing down the curbs of our cul de sac.
  11. That would be a “teer” tear, not a “tare” tear.
  12. You must not have heard the news. We suck.
  13. Sister-in-law and her family “evacuated” from Summerville, SC to Hilton Head. Tough life. F*ck’s sake...we can’t get an ounce of help with our kids, but even when she has to evacuate she ends up being able to pawn the kids off with grandma.
  14. Looking like the Aslin Anniversary bash in Herndon on Saturday will be going forward without too much worry.
  15. I’m all about experiencing extreme weather, but F big rains. I have absolutely no desire for that ****e.
  16. Rained hard in Burke for a an hour or so. Sat here watching heavy returns for hours in the afternoon just a few miles to our east, but we eventually got ours.
  17. I’ve never made it to any get togethers, but I’ve always wanted to. Alas, I’m in the family-obligation situation, and fall weekends are always pretty jam-packed. Hopefully the rest of you can make it!
  18. That’s why I was asking you. My wife said it was an absolute deluge for about 20 minutes, so maybe a bit more. I guess the local cocorahs will tell us. Edit: Two closest cocorahs reports show 0.22” and 0.95”, the former being just NW of the latter. Makes sense since that boomer was pretty localized.
  19. How much rain did you end with, yoda?
  20. Power washed the front siding while in the sun from 10:30-1:00 today. It got bad reeeeeal quick. I’m kinda over it now.
