Approx 0.4 so far. Still falling. (Just got back from shortened umbrella dog walk)

True. Gold spun from straw, perhaps.

0.19" here

Dog's vet office on Crownsville Rd sent a text this morning that they still don't have power and several trees are blocking access. Can't open today.

.52" from storm at 2030 Small but fairly strong with T&L. Hi of 93 today

Was a mild storm at home...some twigs and leaves down; but drove to work this morning (3 miles east) and there's a fair number of small branches down. Live poplar mostly.

Squall line came through about 2100L for 0.15" Hi today 90f, very humid DP reached 80.

0.52" mostly from aftrn t-storm. Quite humid (72)

Total for May 3.06" rain. Highest temp 93; lowest 39

Pretty sure this is the first time in 7 or 8 days that any ray of sunshine has hit my house. (We haven't had as much rain as many, but more overcast)

0.07 for today . Still a bit drizzly

0.05" for today. About 1.6 for the event. 2.86 for May so far. Can't complain , but color me unimpressed .

0.06" . Umbrella dog walk, but cooled to 76f now.

We seem to have won the Hot Spot Award for this afternoon. Only El Paso SW TX can equal us. (That's 4:00 pm...got cropped out)

0.60" yesterday + overnight.

Another 0.05" or so

Last I knew, Smith was released during the day and pumped back up at night to get power when needed ,(read expensive)...a 2 lake system. So, I'm guessing power demand affects it too. Looked at this site, and it is down 5'... https://www.smithmtn.com/lake-levels/ ...but it's been lower. Appalachian Power used to have a great visitor center at the dam with large models that explain their system. It's out of the way, but really worth it. Staffed by volunteers too. Been years since I was down that way...hope it's still in operation.

Almost 0.30" total for yesterday and last night.

Not bad at all.

1.61" total for April

Hmm, interesting arrangement with that HOA, eh? ( I placed a laughter emoji, but it's actually sad. Laugh to keep from crying type of thing , I guess) I went to a new/ongoing development in Bowie last fall, and was surprised how good the turf looked. They used sod with topsoil. And the builder (who I won't name) has a bit of a reputation for poor quality. Overpriced too.

Every spec requires stripping out the topsoil. It's not acceptable for graded areas. If it was left in, the Geotech would reject it. P.G. Co no longer allows topsoil, seed and mulch. Sod is required. I'm not sure about other jurisdictions. FYI...

Looked like we only got about another 0.10 overnight , so about 0.60 for the event. Not bad really.
