    A fantastic 0.05” so far. Something between this amount .... and flooding... will be acceptable.

    A whopping 0.05" on the east side of Columbia yesterday.

    Some of the rain (light) has finally backed its way SW-ward down to Columbia at 2:20pm.

    I came in at 0.41" IMBY for yesterday evening/night.

    Have been in France for 3+ weeks. Started off warm with 80° in Northern France. Many rainy and cooler periods the rest of time but we lucked out during the day. Been a wet summer in France, we’re told. Nice fall preview, after initial “heat”. Got to 12,600 feet on Mont Blanc in French Alps. It is the highest point in Alps — and all of Europe. Had some snow grains falling for a while. Freezing temps. Winter preview!?

    When did BWI become the new heat island?! They have consistently been warmer than both DC airports.

    Highest temp for the year so far IMBY yesterday at 95.2. All 3 airports hit their 2021 high temps also.

    The birds didn't come to the feeders much during Brood X. The birds are back big-time now and I am barely seeing any new cicadas on my walks in the woods. Not much to sweep up anymore on driveway (under a tree) or front porch, where I was seeing 20-40 new ones each morning after sweeping the evening before.

    A great sky-show Monday evening as storms moved in. But only 0.37" IMBY, the majority of which fell in a 15-min period. 4.62" for the month so far, not too shabby! (and I'm convinced my rain gauge is low-balling)

    You can smell them decaying. Rotten .... but not forgotten.

    0.76" Monday night. One of best light shows of the year so far. Temp at 63 just before 6am.

    The skies are electric. Silence of the Cicadas

    Incoming Columbia! It was 84 before first waves of clouds and breezes moved in.

    I’m convinced that stench of death is the dead cicadas. I smell that putrid smell everywhere when walking in the woods. It started shortly after the insect onslaught.
  17. Herb@MAWS
    [Cool temps + lack of brightness] apparently shut up the cicadas also.
  18. Herb@MAWS
    2.7” imby since rain began Thursday 1pm.
  19. Herb@MAWS
    Some blue sky patches and partial clearing moving in from the NE. The deluge quieted the cicadas bigly.

    1.53” over 50 mins. Lite rain still. Thursday AM low 71. 2pm temp 71.
  21. Herb@MAWS
    1.1” in first 20 mins here. Still going strong.

    Craziest day yet IMBY. Absolutely swarming all over the place. Maxed at 88 decibels, equal to a vacuum cleaner, from my front porch.
  23. Herb@MAWS
    Just the opposite in my ‘hood.
  24. Herb@MAWS
    East side of Columbia: 47 degrees at 6am. Weekend rainfall was 1.42" on my often-lowballing rain gauge.

    Camped at New Germany State Park Tues-Thursday this week. Beautiful weather altho it poured Wed nite. Timed it just right for once, glad I didn't select this weekend for camping. Down to 51 in Columbia at 6am. About 1.2" so far (at 6am Saturday) for this event, with rain ongoing.
