Crossed the 70” mark for the year. Amazing.

At the end of the 3km run, Sunday eve with a bit of precipitation still hanging around.

He does that on almost every map with bigger cities.

Given enough surface data (especially pressure), the structure of the atmosphere can be backed out using numerical techniques. Basically, if you have a surface chart from 1885, you can use models to determine what the atmosphere should have looked like to produce those obs. It is obviously subject to some error, but placements of ridges/troughs shouldn't be that far off.

My backyard garbage can is in the middle of the lawn, so that is my “breezy” marker. Mid-upper 30s gusts overnight.

If you squint hard, you can see the desert region of Stephens City.

Stellar day today. 56.8 and no wind.

1.76” final. Ah, 2018.

Heading towards 1.5”. Impressive.

Steady moderate rain. 0.91” and 36.1 degrees

Waited to rain until it was up to 41.

34.5 here, 37 at DCA.

Low of 26.1. Temperature profile looks like an EKG of a dead person.

Clouds moved in and the temp has actually bumped up by over a degree at home. DCA is going to put up a -11 or so departure, which is definitely understating the airmass.
