  1. OK this weather is depressing, especially with lots of my monarch butterflies hatching this week. I let about 12 go early yesterday when there were some peeks but today is just bad. Ones hatching today will have to wait
  2. Thanks for posting that link! I've been looking for a good precip map after iweather ruined theirs I got another 1.1 overnight into this morning for an event total of 2.6 and an incredible 8.4 for September. The yard is lush, green and squishy after being rock-hard during the drought. I went from August 7 to Sept 8 with zero rain, capped by that ridiculous heat wave at the end
  3. Got a good burst before the lull and have 1.0 so far Good day to watch football all day long!
  4. My bar is 1 inch and hopefully falling over an extended period to soak in. Hate that it's the weekend though We are heading to Calvert this evening to see relatives visiting from CA. Glad it's not tomorrow!
  5. Remember a couple winters ago when Topper Shutt did that "we're breaking up" video on the Euro?
  6. Just 0.20 here but the grass and plants are still happy living off the big rain we got the previous weekend. Looking forward to some nice weather this week
  7. You're looking good out there; I probably mix Off and on light rain here today with 0.15
  8. From that Wiki link at the top: "On 5 September, flooding in Thessaly, Greece, killed at least one person.[8] On the same day, the village of Zagora received 1,092 millimetres (43.0 in) of rain, 55 times more than the country's average rainfall for the same month." Holy crap that is Houston (Harvey) numbers!
  9. 2.6 from the heavy thunderstorms last night for an incredible 5.6 for the month (all since Friday). The ground no longer feels like concrete and brown grass is greening up. OT: Lee looking more of a problem for Boston area? FSU vs. BC at noon on Saturday looking a little problematic...
  10. 2.1 inches from that heavy thunderstorm and another one rolling in! Already more rain in 5 days than practically the whole summer combined
  11. Now HEAVY rain with frequent lightning and thunder. Desert rats unite! We are finally getting ours
  12. Getting a nice thundershower to add to the ground moisture as we head into a gorgeous stretch of late summer weather. Some nice lightning and rolling thunder too.
  13. Another 0.5 last night for a total of 3.0 since Thursday. So needed
  14. That is crazy seeing 8.87 and just a short distance away near Centerville 0.18
  15. I hope areas that have missed out can cash in today then we sail into several days of luscious fall weather later this week
  16. I am stunned -- 2 inches so far which is more than the whole month of August
  17. Finally for the first time since the first week of August, it is POURING here! And looks like more to the south moving in. S to N is key for my area; W to E or NW to SE moving stuff almost always fails with the downsloping. S to N has no obstacles and it is ripping Edit: OK Leesburg you're up!
  18. Hey SNOWEN that pic turned out looking like when rain is changing to snow!
  19. Our daughter in College Park said a lightning bolt out of nowhere hit real close to her apartment with sun shining. I looked at Radarscope and the bolt was indicated right where she is with the thunderstorm 5-7 miles away. That's what can make lightning dangerous! Based on radar, looks like everything is east today so I'm glad I watered the gardens this morning. Near shutout continues
  20. Woke up to a loud thunderstorm just after 3 am and thought finally?! Looked at radar and.....NOPE. To the east this time around Laytonsville area. I did get 0.2 from storms that mostly missed east earlier last evening. The sprinklers are running this morning as that piddly 0.2 will be all we get here
  21. Managed 0.2 which is actually a decent rain for this extreme desert microclimate. It's the first measurable rain since August 7 and probably the last for a long time. The sprinkler system will run tomorrow morning as scheduled. I let the grass go and haven't mowed in weeks
  22. Basically nothing as everything trained just to the west earlier. Now it's happening again just to the east! My gawd this place is sick. I'm calling it now -- it will not rain at all in this godforsaken microdesert over the next several days. NONE
  23. Literally a WALL keeping everything training just west. I bet my area gets a total shut out all the way through Monday
