    We remember hurricane Agnes in 1972, which became the flood of record for many. But, we forget that it was preceded by other storms which made it a wet May/June. One reason for Pax river flooding was that the WSSC reservoirs were high and lacked storage by the time Agnes hit in June. Trend, friend, and all that....as they say.

    1.92" for Sept 1

    Don't know about AACPS, but I was on a video meeting with AACo at the time and they said they had to finish up because they were getting a tornado warning. I believe they're located next door to Dept of Ed. Was about a little before 2:00pm I think. eta: Well, the storm would have been at South County a little before reaching the Annapolis/Parole facility, so take that into consideration I guess.

    Leaves drifting down from higher altitude after the rain here in Annapolis. They got sucked up there somehow. Storm went over us, briefly heavy rain. eta: got the storm, but I couldn't see any rotation here. (My big weather window faces south)

    Getting a few patches of blue sky in Annapolis too. For the record; no rain here all day.

    Hmmmmm.....

    Nice piece of right- place- at- the- right- time- video. But, that roof seemed to give up easy. Wind noise should have been drowning out the (humorous) audio if it was that strong. Bit strange.

    Been having a lot of high clouds in Annapolis this morning compared to the 2 past blue sky days. (I see BWI has been reporting Mostly Cloudy all morning) If it keeps up, I doubt I'll break yesterday's high of 91

    Maybe it's a reaction to your negative thought waves. (Or maybe not....I dunno ) That "deep snow is no longer possible" line comes around every cycle here in Balto. After living through the snowy 1960's, we said it in the 70s...and so on and on.... OTOH, Nature seems to have a way of laughing at the weatherman and suddenly proving him wrong; so carry on I guess. (No harm meant...I enjoy reading your posts)

    1.17" today, about 4.65 for August

    How was the speed determined before the satellite era? I figure it was by charting observations days or weeks after the storm.

    Windy rain striking at Annapolis 15:20. Seems a bit ahead of radar image, which shows stronger cell passing just to our east. We'll see.

    Thank you for checking. In our climate, I've found that the DP is my most used piece of data. ( I live in a woodland near a swamp, so wind is never an issue, and temp is meaningless without DP)

    I've used one of those 4" gauges since 1980's, and also got a tipping bucket maybe a dozen years ago. It's fun to do, and you'll notice that both gauges agree at certain times of season; but do not agree at other times. There's nothing to break down on the real gauge, but it does seem to have a secret sign that must say "Bird Outhouse"

    Can it be set to read DP instead of %RH (as shown in the link)?
  16. GramaxRefugee
    This was the most respectable of the 4 storms this week. About 0.85" and rumbling thunder. Couple close CG hits too.
  17. GramaxRefugee
    Yup; seems like within a half hour of my outdoor obs, (minor Jebwalk ) we started to clear. Gonna adjust the window shade and hope for a T-storm.
  18. GramaxRefugee
    Plenty overcast in Annapolis. Outdoor feel factor is much less uncomfortable than yesterday noon. For some reason the DP at KNAK has fallen to 70 and I believe it.
  19. GramaxRefugee
    Low of 76 this morning is my highest start point this summer. If we don't get some clouds, I predict we'll hit 95, (which would be my highest temp this summer) Typical August, I suppose.
  20. GramaxRefugee
    About 0.32" from the t- storm. This was the stormiest of the 3 days, tho not the wettest. Hi temp 92 today.
  21. GramaxRefugee
    That first shot with the tree lodged in the space where the window used to be ....Ouch....that's weather pic of the year material.

    Tall grass is a favorite. Even if you keep your boots laced up, they manage to migrate to your ankles somehow. The bites/rash hangs on for a week. Very annoying.
  23. GramaxRefugee
    When it's 34f and raining. If track record is any indication.
  24. GramaxRefugee
    Fairly significant rain here in Annapolis. Tiny bit of thunder.
  25. GramaxRefugee
    Been steady light rain for past hour or 2, but only up to about 0.10". 73f. Making a crummy Saturday around the yard.
