That's OK Getting our old fence replaced today so we need the Germantown shield. Watching them dig the new holes and man it's dry down deep.
Tough folks as the sun's out and the HX is 90
My point/click has a high of 79 on Sunday with sun. How's that for mid-July!
Hoping for rain for my parched yard this evening, but wouldn't be surprised to get shut out for the whole week
Just incredible. Missed a storm just north earlier, then just south now. To add insult, a new part blew up a mile east and moved off. I'll be out tomorrow morning watering my parched, cracked hard garden beds. Germandesert in full summer mode
Time for a new gauge! A couple weeks ago my gauge had an inch when the iweathernet rainfall map had less than 0.5. Now for yesterday's event, iweather's map says 0.64 which correlates with amounts in that CoCoRaHS map above, and that darn gauge has 1.1
I think the dang thing might be metric but I don't see any markings saying so. Heck with it I'll just go by that map
Managed 0.64 which is decent but was hoping for 1.0 for the dry ground. Much heavier amounts close by in all directions. That's Germandesert in summer!
The Germantown shield is active today with everything dodging just west right as it arrives. This one looked like a can't-miss, until it did. I won't be shocked if I have to water stuff tomorrow
First shot as we are catching the edge of that cluster passing through western MontCo. I am hoping for an inch total as we've been dry and my lawn feels like concrete when walking on it.
Got a patch of clouds, some gusty winds, and it's 69 degrees at 2 pm near on June 18. Unbelievable! Gonna sip beer and cook out tonight with jeans and long-sleeve shirt LOL
Partly sunny now and just gorgeous. I was quietly sitting in a deck chair and a hawk landed on a branch like 10 feet from me. After a half minute it silently zoomed off.
I tied the map again and zoomed way in - still 0.96. We got waves of heavy rain in the afternoon/evening and I checked the gauge once we had a break and it was 1.1. Then it was raining hard again later at night and I had 1.75 total. Strange. The map was dead on with the 0.23 a couple nights ago.
