Mount Joy Snowman

I'm officially at 26.5" since May 1st and 35.07" YTD.

Low of 72 with 4.04” of rainfall. Pleasantly surprised to see the trains running smoothly this morning. I agree with @Jns2183 about the lightning bugs being plentiful this year. The kids were catching loads of ‘em out at Codorus this past weekend.

All good here, despite getting nearly 4”, but have some friends in the Mount Joy area dealing with some pretty significant issues.

I crossed over it a bit ago near the stoney battery and prospect road exits and it was a crawl heading westbound. Eastbound was fine.

Things have moved over my way and the lightning is just insane, left and right on top of us. Hope I don't lose another garage opener ha. I just got an inch in damn near 15 minutes. Insane.

Lots of high water rescues being called into Mt. Joy and surrounding areas with numerous reports of over 5".

Yep, just relentless. Glad I didn't have to take the train out of Mt. Joy today.

That big blob of storms just skirted me here. Lots of thunder but nary a drop. Looks like the Mt. Joy - Manheim area could be in for another thrashing. Paging @Itstrainingtime

A LOT of popcorn on that radar today. A couple brief rounds have already rolled through here. Juicy.

Low of 74 with .02" of rain. We were out in Codorus State Park on Saturday and were lucky enough to never see rain, despite loads of storms being just miles to our west. Then the opposite happened Sunday morning, with lots of storms just to our east, and again no rain falling on us until after we left to come home. It was uncanny watching the radar dance all around us. We really got lucky.

Very nice pal. I’m at the Stormers game with my nephew. Splendid evening. We didn’t even realize it was a double header until we walked in, totally brain farted on the fact that last night’s game was rained out. Stormers with a big rally in the 1st inning of game two!

Low of 69 and 1.79" of rain. The rain wasn't as dramatic as I thought it would be yesterday. Outside of that initial burst, it was actually fairly soaking in nature and spread out over the course of four hours. The ground seemed to eat it up quite well.

Was just coming here to say the same thing. Drove through a deluge from the mounty joy train station to my house. Same places that got hammered last week may be in for a double whammy. Don’t like all the back-building and slow moving I’m seeing.

Low of 72 with .57” of rain, as we continue to spin the daily roulette wheel of storms.

Only a little over a half inch here.

As I watched it out the window up here in Harrisburg, I thought the visibilities were similar to a heavy snowfall. Knew those rates had to be something special. Seems that’s confirmed.

How ‘bout it. That was one heck of a storm, wicked winds and blinding rains.

Incoming here in Harrisburg!

Low of 72 and .2” of rain. Yucky air remains for the week ahead.

I saw that flood warning, and yes, we had rain here for a couple hours this morning. It was a very narrow band that just kind of hovered over our area with a nice soaking rainfall to the tune of a couple tenths. An odd little feature, indeed. Hey, do you recall how I mentioned that our house may have been struck by lightning last week, or at least it hit VERY close? Well, sure enough it fried our garage door opener, so we definitely had some sort of surge run through the house. Turns out the older models like we had didn't have internal GFIs, whereas the newer ones do. Just had ours replaced this morning.

Getting back into the swing of things here after a splendid 4th of July weekend. Low of only 73, as humidity seems to be the name of the game this week. We've actually had some decent showers going here for most of the morning. It will be interesting to see who gets the big rain totals this week.

Low of 65. Heading out around lunch with the fam to visit some friends out towards Pittsburgh, Westmoreland County to be more precise. Should be splendid weather for 4th of July celebrations. Enjoy, everyone!

Low of 70 with .93” of rain. Now we start the pivot towards beautiful weather. Much needed.

Looks like a little under an inch here. Glad to see the southern end of the county take the brunt this time. The place hit hardest was really Perry County, with basically the entire county seeing 2-4”.

I don’t want to jinx it but things seem to be moving through swiftly and collapsing at a good rate. Looking like we may avoid a repeat of last night. About to exit the train in Mount Joy.
