Getting steady strong rain here in Bowie with some rumbles of thunder.

Impressive considering that hardly anything is on radar.

Oh wow, cool.

I did mean the chem though. Sounds effective.

Looks like about 1" in the normal gauge here so far. The electric Davis is stuck with a pollen/crud clog again.

What do you recommend spraying with? (Briefly,  without getting too off track)

0.76" since midnight here.

Emptied 1.18 from the gauge.

Evidence of wind, small green branches down. 

wife reports pellets hitting the skylight at my home station.

now just heavy rain.

It's been a great month. We got an extended period that I would actually call spring before going to 80+ and high dews. It seems like we've been robbed of this the past few years. I hope it continues well into May.

Very true, IMO

Wood heating forum friends in NE telling how this is the longest burning season in memory. Not frightfully cold, but can't seem to get the stoves shut down for summer.

Don't worry; summer will strike soon enough.

58f and ovrcst here this morning

1.39" for my April total rain.

The tide seems to have turned, maybe.

Downpour finally hitting here in Mitchellville at 3:20.

We were dry-slotting here for a while.

Frost on several of the roofs this morning on the commute to work.

DP was 37 at my place.

Nice day.

Seems like the wettest areas have hoisted a red flag warning. Wonder how seriously that will be taken.

(I didn't bother to show the recent precip. I figure we're all tired of that)

(Sorry I'm late)

Season total 16.1"

21035

At least some snow in every month except Dec. (Nov-Mar)

significant windshield scrape this morning

Received 0.03" yesterday.

March total 3.37" rainfall

Low temp 17; hi 81

Cherry buds at my (wooded) end of the street are a long way from flower. I'll guess 2 weeks.

The cherries on Mitchellville Rd were full bloom last week. Different hybrid, but still.

72 for my high today

You aren't far from me and I have all grass

covered and driveway and road starting to.

At work, (Bowie) had about 3 hours of steady snow. Had to broom the slush off my car to drive home. By Pax river it was rain, ground wet. Wife said it never snowed here. 6 mile difference. (12 total)

Lousy.

Suddenly moderate snow in Mitchellville, PGCo. about 2:50L .

was a bit dzl or flizzle earlier, but this is legit, and the first real snow we've had over on this side all day

Dew point 7 this morning.

Temp 20 when I left; might've gone a bit lower later.

Was mod to hvy snow when I came out, then shut off quickly about 6:05.

Long time follower on here but first post and maybe I'm late to this winters party. Let's hope next year will be a tad better.

Welcome Mr. CentralVaNATS.

Hi temp was 57. Lower than modeled I think.

Not much wind gust, but this is a poor location to measure gusts.

No power issues either.

(Kinda boring report, eh?)

The fact that the heading of this thread was such irresistible click- bait for me says a lot about our recent winters.

Fozz was smart to add the 1:30pm note. 

My pic of Mar 21 last year has snow because BGE closed the road for a wire down. Woulda been about 5:30pm

.... or is my PWS reading too warm by a little?

Quite possible. 

Install 4 different units around your site and get 4 different readings. 

We have so much nice gadgetry these days that it's tempting to unpack the box and expect it to be right. But it's often not.

I had a met friend in the old days who had , (at one time) 15 instrument shelters in his yard in Burtonsville. Learned a lot.

Lunch break measure in Mitchellville = 2.5" total with sleet falling.

SN+ in Mitchellville, PGCo

(after a later start than most of ya'll. About 6:40 first flake.)

No precip here in AACo so far.
