Typical. Line of storms in SPA heading into NMD, more storms for those parched areas of Central VA that have only had 2 feet+ this summer so far, and a few storms to my NW drying up into desiccant on my doorstep.
Fortunately, I've not seen them here. I have no choice but to head straight to the shower; I look like a coal miner at the end of his shift when I'm finished.
I mowed yesterday for the first time in 5 weeks, just to knock down the patches of weeds that were able to sprout up. Scenes straight out of 1930s dust bowl. Had to stop to put on a dust mask and glasses to help keep it out of my eyes. When I was done I was covered head to toe in crusted dust as it mixed with sweat. Miserable.
Good to see we are now entering a "dry" period.
Huge storm headed right for me. Hard right turn and passed just south. Scraped by the edge as it roared by. Another .10".
.13" total. What a day. 3 for 3. Unreal.
Got luck today. Series of developing storms tracked directly over me. By far, best rain I've seen all year. By a mile. Pushing 1" of desperately needed rain.
Cell split and went right around me. Pity sprinkle while thunder and downpours pass a few hundred yards to my east and west. No doubt they will merge again once safely north of me.
