Agreed. Very pleased by the return.

Lol. No joke. My 13 yo loves classic rock (he plays guitar), and GNR is one of his favorites. Not sure what makes me feel older: that he's old enough to see GNR or that GNR is considered classic rock.
-
Fantastic idea! Thanks! Do you happen to know if they allow traffic to exit on both Park Blvd and Hersheypark Way? Park Blvd seems like it'd be a quick way out, so I was thinking of parking near that exit, but if Park Blvd is closed, then I'll be at the end of the line.
-
Thanks. Good to know. I was reading reviews suggesting it took some folks 3-4 hours.
-
Has anyone been to a concert at Hershey Park Stadium? We're taking the kids next weekend to see Guns N Roses, and I've heard nightmare stories about the traffic leaving the show.
-
I can verify that. I just measured to confirm that at the height of the rain, I could not see a house that is 65 yards away. I've never lost sight of that house before in a rainstorm.
-
Thanks. I'm hoping it was just the extreme nature of the storm that revealed a new water intrusion path (my prime suspect is the flashing on our living room window), and not something that will leak with every rain storm. I guess I'll be putting that theory to the test in the next 20 minutes...
-
Epic rain rates. Maxed out at 17" per hour! Complete whiteout. Couldn't see tree line less than 100 yards away. The hail core just missed us to the north. Mid-storm we had a sudden increase in winds, with gusts that looked to be in the 40-50 mph range. Unfortunately, the wind-driven rain revealed a couple new leaks into our house.
-
I believe it. That's right near me, and the winds have already been strong this morning. I'd guess the peak gusts were close to 40. Hoping the power stays on...
-
Nice storm yesterday afternoon. Torrential rain peaking at 6"/hr, lots of lightning (including one within a couple hundred yards), and pea-size hail. Fun way to start the season!
-
Had some flurries here last night. Hope that will tide me over until next November (or later).
-
1.72" yesterday. I was surprised at how many waves of heavy rain we had.

Big flakes, moderate snow. Eyeballing .25-.5"

We have a car-topper in N. Bethesda.

Lol. As long as they get enough to sled, they're happy. The last burst of sleet saved the storm for them. That said, my youngest spent most of breakfast whining about what happened to the snow we were supposed to get. I'm sure they'll both be crapping up threads on here in no time...
-
Amen. My kids keep asking me, "when is it supposed to snow," or "how much is it supposed to snow." I tell them the weather isn't "supposed" to do anything. It just does what it does, and our ability to predict it with that level of precision just isn't something we can do. So, if you want to know the answer with 100% confidence, you need to open the blinds and watch and wait.
-
Wow. I'm at 10.75" for the year. It's amazing the difference over such a relatively short period. (Although I think I'm pushing close to 25-30" in forecasted snow, so I've got that going for me, which is nice...)
-
A bit over .75" of sleet here in N. Bethesda.

How much for Short Pump? -
Flurries again. And there was much rejoicing... yay!

I ended up with .75 of sleet and snow in N. Bethesda.
