Seems like the storms and rain are everywhere but where the actual risk region is?

Stay safe.

Getting pretty dusty down here in Huntingtown. Hopefully tomorrow produces.

0.02" from yesterday's event. So stupid.

What is this shit? Well this event sucks.

If it's just the motor itself that failed (probably a winding ground fault) then that's an easy fix assuming you have some level of DIY electrical ability. You just need to open her up, get the nameplate off the motor and head online to find a replacement. I'd be more worried if you have one of the air handlers with an inverter drive for the blower motor. If that went bad then it could get expensive.

Ended up with 0.09" in the rain gauge last night. And half of that was probably condensation from from how gross it is outside.

Looks like KLWX is offline? I keep hearing thunder but I don't know where it's coming from, maybe if that cell over Charles co holds together we can eek out something.

Well this event sucked. Was it even supposed to rain today?

Doing caterpillar work, could it be any more gross outside? Perfectly still, disgusting air.

Something tells me weather weenies don't make for good gamblers in Vegas.

It's hell week for moths. 3hrs a day out in this weather changing out sleeves. Another 2-3 more.days of this nightmare and I'm on the other side of the bell curve.

Randomly it's pouring rain here right now, wasn't expecting that. Not a breeze in sight, it's pretty stagnant out there.

This is the first year down in Calvert that I've seen lantern flies. Fortunately, the vast majority that I've seen have just been the leftover wings littered on my driveway. Apparently the birds find them tasty, which means I think the threat of them is somewhat overblown, luckily.

Looks like Roundy has JB in his corner. That's a duo I wouldn't want to be forecasting against.

Yeah they were way worse in Michigan than even this year down here so I know they survive cold. This year is just anomalously bad here, it's like some sort of boom cycle. They bite me and as they bite me it hurts so is obnoxious. But after that I never get any sort of bump or itchy welt like I used to when I was a kid. I also used to get covered in chigger bites for the first couple years when I moved down here but now I don't even get one all summer. Guess my immune system has just gotten lazy with age and doesn't even bother mounting a response anymore.

Why are the mosquitoes so bad this year? It's the worst year in the past 24yrs I've lived here. It makes no sense, we had drought last year, the coldest winter in decades and then more drought this year up until just recently. I'm lucky in that I don't get actual itchy bites, but they're annoying as heck to swat off.

Yeah we originally thought to just get the chainsaw out and cut that off but as I am aging and winter is long and cold up there I appreciate having a handhold so I don't slip and break my back.

I had 0.73" down in Calvert from the event. No major wind damage. Up at the cabin, holy cow ..this pic was during the tornado warning. You can see it's raining so hard it's literally spraying off the roof! It almost looks more like snow.

I can smell the pine in the the air. Derecho alert confirmed. Ah geez nvm it was just the wood floor cleaner. Had a TOR warn up at the cabin. Game cam showed some very heavy rain and wind but no damage as far as I can tell.

Moved a large mulch pile this afternoon. Man it sucks out there.

Well this event sucked

Well this event sucks.

I'll take those numbers. Hoping for at least one big storm I can go up ahead of time for and get snowed in.

Reading the tea leaves I've got a good feeling for this winter. December is gonna be a dumpster fire and I'll be cutting grass up til Christmas but I'm seeing storms in January and February. I'm not even going to do any snowblower prep so that'll bring more luck. How does Garrett county do in super ninos?
