  1. I also love when rain turns to hail in winter. That means the flip to snow is about to happen!
  2. Fine...you can cover your eyes and close your ears all you want, but it doesn't change the fact that everything looks like sh*t right now! Oh...you weren't talking about the weather.
  3. Believe me when I tell you that I've been fantasizing for years about getting a pellet gun and picking them off from my bedroom window, which overlooks my garden. This year I've been closer than ever to doing it, but I don't think the wife would go for it...and not sure I have the stomach to actually go through with it!
  4. Kind of how I felt. You can see on your image that I was in a hole in the precip for quite some time until it all converged. Probably didn't get much more yesterday than we did on Tuesday, but that's fine - not like we needed it.
  5. tl;dr 75% of our winters suck, and even years with analogs to good winters in the past would suck now given AGW. Therefore, there's no reason to think we'll ever have a good winter again.
  6. Last Flood Watch resulted in lots of rain from Fredericksburg and south with barely anything up this way, so obviously the same thing is going to happen today.
  7. Nice! I'm super jealous. I can't harvest shite right now because of the f*cking squirrels.
  8. The problem is that we're not the northern Mid-Atlantic (or at least 95% of us aren't). If we assume ENSO as the only variable, then we're almost certain to get the suck down here this year.
  9. Honestly shocked at the decent downpour we had just before dinner time. Not sure how much we ended with, but had to be pretty close to 0.5”. Ended with a pretty sweet double rainbow:
  10. There's a banter thread, folks!
  11. Not as bad as most early August days in years past. Meh.
  12. Curious how much rain folks south of Fredericksburg or thereabouts ended up with. Promising start to the day saw everything happen south of us, and there were returns down there for hours.
  13. Not sure about that. The radar is the proverbial Christmas Tree right now with boundaries all over the place. I think we see constant pulsing and reforming of storms for quite some time this afternoon/evening with lots of 2-3" reports.
  14. Drove through that popup cell driving back from Costco in Springfield. Absolute dumping while looking at partly cloudy skies to the north.
  15. @yoda...you're back in West Springfield?
  16. That's awesome. I once kicked a full glass of red wine all over a wall and curtains in an old apartment. My now wife and I were eating on the floor (because I didn't have a table), then I got up to use the bathroom and just punted the f*cking thing across the room. Place looked like a GD murder scene.
  17. But will the frontal passage be VIOLENT?!
  18. Damn - that's crazy. We definitely had some decent wind (and pea-sized hail) when our first cell blew up almost overhead, but no damage.
  19. I always find that kind of annoying, though there can always be a surprise in the other direction, as well. We missed a lot of the action early on, but when it did rain it came down in buckets. Waiting for the local CoCoRaHs to update...
  20. That's a veteran move right there!
  21. Glad to hear you’re not at a rainfall deficit for another few days!
  22. No thunder, but nice rains again now. Looking forward to getting my gutters realigned and micro mesh gutter guards put on this weekend!
