Huge snowstorms in this area were 1979, 1983, 1987, 1993 (some parts), 1996, 2000 (some parts), 2003, 2010 and 2016. We are way overdue for a home run monster.

I think we are very dry through summer before finally turning to a wetter pattern in fall. That's why I have given up on getting a lawn going (new construction home finished in March). I will try again in September. I do expect a warm, wet winter which would be helpful.

I hope that map you just posted isn't right! If we get only around a half inch of rainfall thru June 17, we will be in huge trouble around here. We're gonna start seeing wells dry up and wildfires
-
Here are the rainfall totals since January for closest station to me (PAX River). We'd need to have over 2.5" per month above normal for each of those three months to break even for the year. Not likely. Jan: 2.87, departure of -0.04 Feb: 2.30, departure of -0.54 Mar: 1.63, departure of -2.37 Apr: 0.88, departure of -2.80 May: 1.51, departure of -1.92

I've decided to give up on any gardening other than containers this year. This extreme drought is too much with almost a complete shutout for April and only 2.2 total for May. I expect Jun-Aug will be just as bad. Hopefully we get a wetter fall/winter and I will plan some garden beds for next spring. As for the lawn, I might try something in September if the super-drought is ending.

Yep, I'm in Kinsey's Ridge (Shaefer Homes - a small local builder). Oakland Hall is QBH Sun coming out after a light shower and it is humid! Can't wait for that great weather coming our way.

Miss to the south yesterday, to the north this morning, and another miss to the south right now. This was our last chance for rain for a long time so May's total will be 2.2" which is a bit more than half of normal. I had less than an inch for all of April. Southern MD in huge trouble this summer with dead yards and wells drying up. Maybe even wildfires
-
Even with "Drizzlefest" I'm at about 2.2 total for May compared to normal of around 4 inches. Looks like May will be yet another WAY below normal month. Severe drought continues, maybe heading into extreme.
-
Drizzlefest '26 enters a sixth day and we have a similar total here. I hate that we haven't seen the sun in almost a week. I can't wait for later this week and weekend for sun and actual May temps for once
-
Booooo all missed south today after best rains north for days. Drizzlefest looks to finish with a whimper here.
-
Whew that rain over the northern neck of VA looks heavy, too heavy. I do hope we get some moderate stuff later here though. Dark overcast again
-
72/70. Starting to feel like a sauna with no wind and brightening sky. SE VA and NE NC sporting some 84/73 type obs. ooooh
-
That map looks good. The drought in north FL and SE Georgia has been ridiculous
-
Turrible. If the calendar was one day different, the holiday would have been this coming weekend which is looking beautiful. I feel bad for all the plans that have been ruined for people. Sitting at 1.87 for the event with a light shower passing through. At least it's warm enough to sit on the screened porch now.

Look at that gradient right along I-95. Let's hope that highlighted part is right!
