But I brought the Germantown rain hole down here with me. Just 0.21 here

0.29 spread over several hours. I'll take it! (measurement from Mesonet 2 miles away)

@CAPE you got some yellows and orange on radar heading in?

0.16 so far which is the most I've had for weeks. Hoping for more from that batch in central VA. You're right about it looking heavier on radar that is actually is. Yellows on radar just produce light rain. But I'll take it! Glad it held off for Mothers' Day

I had one brief shower pass through and am watching and hoping for the good-looking stuff on radar heading in. We need this bad!

Since there are 70-foot trees close to the west side of our house, we'll skip the derecho but take the rainy late summer and fall that El Nino advertises. I gave up on the grass and will re-try in Sept. (The builder did the hydroseeding right before the Jan 25 snowcrete storm. I asked them to wait but it's a requirement for occupancy LOL)

0.05 total and less than a tenth combined with last weeks "rain event." I'm about ready to just give up on trying to get a new yard going. I don't expect any real rain until probably the fall.

Just 0.04, hoping for thunderstorms this evening

From LWX disco: "Possibility of someone being south of heavier axis Wed and north of axis on [Thu] resulting in local min in QPF." Beautiful evening though!

42 for the low which is good since I have sensitive stuff out. Looking forward to Monday/Tuesday nice weather! I hope I don't get another whiff on the rain midweek

Even before they started digging, the ground was hardpan, and even the surface soil when they started digging an orange/yellow mess. It was fully wooded so maybe that makes it worse? We plan to have some beds installed by tilling deep and mixing in lots of compost. The backyard is coming in OK. I want a chemical free backyard with clover, buttercups, cornflowers, etc. mixed in with the grass.

You have a nice setting! We've just moved to a new construction home and there's no topsoil at all - just hard, gravelly sand. Gardening is gonna be tough! Having an April with almost a shutout of rainfall didn't help

0.03 for me . Ironically, I watched ol' Germantown where I used to live (and complain about missing rain) getting a nice soaking on radar LOL. I think my April total is close to zero, maybe a couple tenths. I've never seen such a dry April and I'm trying to grow a brand-new lawn. Ooof

This weather is awful! Breezy, dark, stuck in the 40s, and a measly 0.02 of "rainfall." I got excited when the forecast had a half to three quarters of rain for overnight Saturday.

Nice, thanks for posting! That's about 2 miles WNW of my house. It's gonna be an adjustment for winters down here after 32 years of living in upper MoCo.
