Honestly, we pulled so many storms out of our arses. Maybe me more than you I suppose. Look at Halloween. Over 4.5" from a storm where I had no reason to get any. Time to pay. It sucks, but that is climo too.
Actually have a 3-4" depth with the crap last night. Looks like under 2", but lots of fine rain now. Giant mess. Congrats on a good storm in many areas. Kind of a classic inland event. Haven't had those in awhile.
It sort of had an elongated s/w with a low developing on it and a back bent WF. Probably not the classic LBSW that get DC and stall east or Wallops Island.
I know Ray hates LBSW or whatever it is, but rates are starting to mean more to me. It’s how the storm materializes. Sure maybe you don’t get 3’, but a foot in four hours? That’s impressive.
Yeah what can you do. I’m glad you guys got smoked. Just watching radar was druel worthy. This was like the perfect setup. Almost like 495 put up a giant 10,000ft wall and made it converge haha. I’m sure the CF helped a tad too. But classic 700 back bent front with screaming east flow just north of it.
