    Just getting grazed by T-storm here now. Plenty of T/L, but sorta passing to our north.

    DT did, further back than that. (Sorry, no link but most of us can imagine it, in his entertaining style of writing. ) And that's the thing. These patterns just come along and always have. I'm old. I remember. (Except when I don't. Sorry, I'm old)

    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.

    Downpour finally hitting here in Mitchellville at 3:20. We were dry-slotting here for a while.

    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. DP 19

    1.5 " here. Drove out about 7:15 all roads snowy. Return 9:00 and starting to get salt water slush in many places. One car slid off of Rte 424..

    Well heck. Now that I look at that link, it would be 8 straight days if they lowered their standard to 0.15". I'd consider the 0.4 to be a substantial number. Perhaps the 0.15 just spreads out the various records too far, making "records" everywhere. This isn't a particular record I've looked closely at before. So, I'm sort of stumbling through the high weeds.

    I guess I should have just listed that AFD, so here it is (sorry) It has been an unusually wet pattern over the last week. For DCA (Reagan National), there has been at least 1/4" of rain each of the last 7 days. This is the longest streak on record. The previous longest was 5 days in 2011, 2009, 1975, 1950, 1942, and 1937. Precipitation records date back to 1871

    The AFD said 1/4", which I was skeptical of. So I immediately came here to check and Rodney lists 0.4", which I find more believable. The years listed did not include 1996, which I remembered as a summer of rain. But I didn't check the record.

    So, a factor of 3 difference. Not far off the pace really.

    Do you have similar data for Baltimore? How about Richmond or Raleigh? My meaning....if it was meteor dust, as noted, it would not be confined to DC alone. Fascinating either way.
