    Let's see if my drought-stricken area can finally cash in. I have just 0.85 for July after a very dry June. I also have not seen 1" in a day in ages. This just feels like another 0.2 or less deal.

    Hey LWX, I fixed tomorrows FFW for you:
  3. BlizzardNole
    Ahahahahaha! NOPE Dumb Euro gonna dumb Euro. We got zip today and we'll get zip Sunday. I've had one "big" rain event with 0.6 which is like other places getting 5 inches. I've had less than 2" total since June 1 and would be surprised to see more than 3" for the entirety of met summer. So pardon me when I LOL at these pathetic QPF forecasts
  4. BlizzardNole
    Another ominous-looking forecast including a FFW, and dry as a bone again. Watch the big Sunday rain wording yield nothing as well

    It's crazy how much of a thunderstorm magnet the Baltimore area is! I didn't even know that line had formed. Oh well too far east for me today -- on to Sunday?

    Part of one bed with lantana (still small), tropical milkweed, sunpatiens and vinca Another bed with more of the same -- I garden for butterflies and hummingbirds

    Yep, they have up to 9" in some spots north of Balt City since June 1. And look at northern DE:

    A big 0.10 in the central MD desert. The last two days were probably the last chance for a very long time for rain here so the extreme Drought of '23 rolls on. All of the 1.5 or so I got in June was nickels and dimes, no more than about 0.3 at a time. I can't remember the last time we got a downpour here - I have yet to see one thunderstorm. My thinking is I won't see real rain until our six months of 40s/50s and wet starts in November.

    They must have big years every so often at different spots. We had a massive infestation about 10 or so years ago that was so bad you could hear them munching on stuff and they actually killed a number of 10-20 foot cherry trees in our neighborhood. I never saw them like that again including this year. We are probably due soon.

    I see LWX dropped its laughable severe thunderstorm watch for this evening
  11. BlizzardNole
    We did get a brief pop-up shower but that's it. Maybe 0.10
  12. BlizzardNole
    This. I chuckled when I read things like "90%" and "half to three quarters" and the severe thunderstorm watch LOL. I'll be running the garden sprinklers later and have no concerns on plans to grill on the deck this evening

    One of us three desert rats has to get lucky at some point! Got a small t-storm moving due east toward me....but usually they get pulled up along the high elevations in the NW part of the county towards Damascus. We'll see

    A big 0.15 for the desert! Better than nothing I guess Sorry in advance but what my area needs is a tropical storm landfall in the NE gulf which tracks slowly up the east coast. I'll need some of you to take one for the team and deal with 8-10 inch amounts so that I can get a 2" rainfall.
  15. BlizzardNole
    Wait, you moved back to Stephens City? Watching that line coming through Loudoun and hoping, but I also know what west-to-east usually means for my rain shadow
  16. BlizzardNole
    Just did some garden work and (of course) some watering. Even though it's only about 80 degrees it is HUMID! There's a crew doing a roof a couple doors down. Those guys gotta be sweating bullets
  17. BlizzardNole
    Got that right! Snowless winter followed by drought, smoke and consistently missing every good rains in every direction. I hope the luck changes for my area. I'd be happy to see ONE good thunderstorm this month.
  18. BlizzardNole
    So you're saying my 0.8 for the last 10 days has not ended my drought? Dadgummit! I'd like to see an early tropical system come into the FL panhandle and ride slowly up the coast while being squeezed by a cold front.
  19. BlizzardNole
    Congrats to folks getting the big stuff. Got 0.20 here which is better than we've had in a while
  20. BlizzardNole
    Caught a quick shower as the line was forming overhead but congrats eastern MoCo and Howard as it's turning into a decent line. Wish it had formed just a little further west
  21. BlizzardNole
    LWX discussion of thunderstorms in a nutshell: today east of I-95; Saturday west of blue ridge. The Drought of '23 rolls on
  22. BlizzardNole
    Oooh good point on the car filters. Oh and new drought map still reflects severe -- I bet my little micro-desert qualifies as extreme as I've had less than 1.5 for June
  23. BlizzardNole
    Check your AC filters after the smoke clears. We replaced our filter in April and it's one of those 4-inch thick ones that's supposed to last up to a year. We had an annual AC checkup last week and ours was dark gray already, like it had been in a whole year. It was that smoke event from early June. One of my friends had just changed his in late March and it was almost black. 82 and sickly yellow sun, AQI 175
  24. BlizzardNole
    For some of us, let's hope those chances turn out better than the last two weeks! I'm on track to finish well under 2 inches for the month. Closest CoCoRaHS (a little south) has 1.84 and I know they caught a couple that I missed. There's a 3.42 that is just 4.2 miles to my ESE
  25. BlizzardNole
    Never thought we'd be nearing July and rooting for southerly winds rather than a cool NW flow! Give me a Bermuda high please
