katabatic

Low of 40 this morning. Absolutely spectacular day yesterday. Pic is of Broadford Lake in Garrett County where we watched a nesting pair of bald eagles for at least an hour.

74.5/41.5 with wall to wall sunshine (like everyone else). Trees are probably 80-90% leafed out now and with 7.14" of rain this month, everything is a brilliant green.

5.85" since Thursday. Some nasty flooding just south in the Parsons - Davis WV corridor. @jonjon hope you guys are doing OK...never want to see that. On the upside, this was overall sorely needed especially since we're back to the dust bowl beginning tomorrow but ohhhhh what a beautiful upcoming weekend it's going to be

Obviously I certainly hope so. Ever since moving here, I've been surprised at the overall lack of precip but I also know we've been in a long term drought for ages. After this wet stretch, we go right back into the dust bowl unfortunately. In looking at the stats for winter 15-16 (you can't use the Oakland weather stats...the reporting site is right next to the hospital building and is wildly inaccurate, so I use Bayard as a proxy - whoever is their observer does a great job) you had the bomb in January and some other precip during the second half of winter but overall, it's what you would expect during a significant El Nino. @dailylurker and I communicate regularly and have been looking for a reasonably priced snow camp up on the Tug Hill east of Lake Ontario to get our fix...maybe we'll be lucky enough not to need it this upcoming winter!

Narrow band set up shop over head this morning bringing the total to 4.89" thus far. @MillvilleWx I've thought all along what an incredible snowstorm this would have been. Imagine our thunderous squall we experienced yet for several hours at a time. Yes, please and thank you I'll take another lol.

This batch moving through means business. 2.23” since 6:30 pm. Event tally so far is 4.33” which is easily the best rain I’ve had since moving here nearly 4 years ago.

Pretty cool shot of the western extent of the cool and cloudy wedge cresting Backbone Mountain. Pic taken on Route 135 in Mountain Lake Park (Garrett County).

The horizon to horizon stream of RX 350s with NoVa tags arrived right on schedule. The lines at the Oakland Wal Mart resemble the 1994 South African election. The sh*tty weather didn't stop the coming of summer age pilgrimage to Deep Creek...at least it is now above 50 with 2.10" of badly needed precip with #DroughtBuster'26. 200 foot ceilings be damned! Looking past early next week, unfortunately things turn absolutely bone dry again. From 117 to 384, GFS has my area with ~a half inch of precip.

0.09" for the beginning of our drought buster. 1.25" so far for the month. Turned into a nice afternoon/evening albeit a bit humid (DPs ~65).

89.1 which is the 4th highest temp I've recorded since moving here in the fall of '22. Not a long time obviously but still rather impressive warmth.

Stiff breeze, upslope rain showers and 39 degrees. Gotta be some flakes up on the ridges as its below freezing at Spruce Knob.

0.38" with a nice little thunderstorm. Chilly tho with temps right around 51. 1.07" for the month so far.

48/31 today. Currently 36 with a bit of a breeze. Felt like a November day (except for the greenery). If we clear out and decouple tonight, temps will likely get well into the 20s.

Chilly low of 31 and now in the low 40s with a wind whipped light rain. Spastic spring continues even for out here.

Had a couple of heavier downpours yesterday for a total of 0.71" (same as @Interstate). 3.22" for the month as things begin to green up.
