Even @Wmsptwx or @pawatch

Someone on here might go below 50 tonight.

I am not trying to pick on you just having fun with your bounty of rains.

My lack of posting today was work related.

Is the susky above 0 yet?

Wow, we missed that first one. We had some mist today but not measurable. It was indeed a tropical downpour here but it just lasted maybe 5 min....or even a bit less.

It was a quick burst. No thunder just heavy rain. .15 of an inch.

Ditto. And that is what she said. To add to this using MDT as the location, 3 of the top 4 snowstorms, amount wise, in history have occurred before February 1. So early snow is not always lighter snow.

I have no issue with that. Snow in Dec and January seems to be such the traditional favorite with many.

And it was so ironic it came after such a bad winter snow wise. More snow in May than some winter months. Strange 2020.

Pretty gross 75 here this AM.

Eh, I guess its the big game hunter in me but getting 40" of snow in bites of 3-6" is not a "winner" at the end of the day but I can certainly see how others would see it that way. I have been back for two full winters now and have only had to shovel 3-4 times of which the highest was 8" . When I said a few years I was thinking back to 2016.

I was thinking we were probably 5-6+ coming into the summer depending on locale. But for our yards, crops, and really the water level we are not even because the extra rain came when there was much less evaporation going on so when it started going downhill it feel off a cliff. Assuming Cashtown's 28" through Aug 31 but taking my locale into consideration we have only had 7-9" of rain here since May 1 so say 8". That means we had 20" of rain when we least needed it and 8" over 4 months when we needed it most. Result? Farmers filing claims for crop damage and wells running dry.

So almost exact, thanks. I was thinking we were well above coming into summer.

PS-Feel free to suggest an alternate that is cheaper. LOL.

Oh yea, then in it easy going but outside the last two days that has been pie in the sky hopes for me. I am thinking of using the Scott's PA Mix. The person working on my yard said its hard to put down one type of seed and keep weeds out.

The thing that worries/bothers me, and I am having some very expensive procedures done here to try and get back on the right track, is the bags always say you need to water the seed every day for 2-3 weeks. That is a LOT of work without an irrigation system.

@Cashtown_Coop, where do you stand for total precip in 2020? My records are not trustworthy past May so curious if we are normal for the year despite the large summer deficit. MDT would be at 28" through August if you average out their norm monthly numbers.

But the models always under forecast CAD.

That was a nice 1/3 of an inch. Nice last two days. Up to close to an inch now last 24 hours or so.

The leading edges of it is here and its harder than anything we had yesterday.

There is a nice blob of raining coming out of Fulton but it may skirt south of you.
