What is that drain?

Several comments here.

1. it’s 3 days short of a record.

2. this is the first time in recorded history that MDT made it through July and August without dropping below 60.

3. Five of the top ten have been in the last 6 years.

Warm AMO cycle with higher dew points and thus warmer minimums.

They reshaped the counties.

Drainage basins for the various streams.  Hydrology forecasting is very tricky for so many reasons!

I received 9.71" on 9/7/2011. If it rained here for 24 hours today, I think we'd definitely rival that. 

Here are my obs leading up to Lee...Valley Green

Think these might be underestimated by radar:

6”….yellow
5”….purple
4”….blue


.

I'm in that little yellow square just east of I-83 under the "E" in E-Town.

And as of 4 pm here in Newberry Twp, there are 16 roads closed. Many of the closures are within a couple of miles of my location (Valley Green).

MDT is at 5.12” as of 5 pm. Won’t add much more it appears (at least I don’t think it’ll add .5”) so it’ll be the 5th rainiest September day it seems. 

I'm 2.25 miles SSW of KMDT and have received 6.89" as of 5:15 pm!  I hope you're right about that 1/2 inch prediction!

Thanks! CTP shows .43" for my area. Hopefully smart minds (boss or receiver) say to park the truck.

Was on I-81 from Wilkes Barre south to I-78 couple of hours ago; light freezing drizzle was icing my truck and windshield, but the roads were still just wet.  But the "sun" was still up at that time...I personally would be in park now that the sun has set...

0.23" liquid with 2.6" new snow accumulation.  It's certainly been a wintry stretch...
