Pretty gross 75 here this AM.

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.

Regardless of the smoothed over departure from normal maps the NWS puts out, they do not take micro weather into account, there is a definite trend of drier, dry, normal, wetter, wettest if one takes a line from North Central PA and goes South and West into the Delaware Valley. If this has been during a cold/winter scenario Philly may have broken their snowfall record for a season.

Well the board is back up. I thought our fall thread may have crashed it. Second time (at least) down in the last few days.

Board reminder...the GFS is really the Fv3 with a different name. LOL

Dorian Update-Taking care of whiners. (Apologies if this was already posted).

So untrue. Show stats or shut it.

This is spot on. Disney is being taken out to the woodshed with their star wars land not doing anything near what they expected. To counter it a bit I would be afraid to tell anyone the coast is clear right now either. I was supposed to go to the billmar earlier next week but pulled out myself. Should be some good deals for last minutes deals that locals can snag.

I do not wish pain for Florida but maybe it would stop a few of these 'the icon is crap' posts. Especially embarrassing from a red tagger.
