Only 0.11” today- not enough to get me over the 20” mark, so the final monthly total will be 19.79”

1.14” today 19.68” for the month 30.10” since July 1 ^Those aren’t typos

I’m at 18.36” for the month

2.09” of rain, most of this within the last hour. These totals were not forecast and caught me by surprise. @BlizzardNole This is most likely going to be another neighborhood flood...

Trust me, this will verify. 0.41% my ass- it’s 2020 https://thehill.com/homenews/news/513246-nasa-asteriod-headed-toward-earth-before-election

She's coming soon... (as long as NHC doesn't screw up and name the wrong one )

Ah, today should be a nice, mostly sunny day so we can continue to dry out this we- *looks at radar*

I moved here in 2013 and actually remember that the first two years I was here- I used to call it the Calvert split- every storm would find a way to miss. But then, starting around summer 2015... Anyway, I got 1.39” for this event. Glad it was on the lower end.

I’d love to know what it is about our microclimate that has us getting bull’s eyed over and over and over.

1.08” since midnight- it’s been a steady moderate rain for the last few hours.

Oh I had sent you another PM awhile back (not sure if you saw it).

Many areas down here have had 25-30+” of rain in 45 days (with several more inches on the way). The ground here is still completely saturated- I’m worried that’s going to start causing foundation issues for many (note: I’m not a structural engineer so maybe my concerns are overblown).

12z GFS is yet another southern MD bull’s eye for Sunday.

1.19” so far today, 14.26” for the month, all time monthly record has been BTFO already

I love how that storm did a U turn just to swing around and hit us. Calvert is literally a storm magnet now

This pattern is insane. I have no idea what my monthly total will be- 20”? 30”? Always middle of the night too for maximum insomnia.

Winters and early spring are cold, rainy and miserable (but usually not cold enough to snow). Peak spring (generally mid-April through early June) has potential for decent weather but we usually either blowtorch it or go too cold. 2014 notwithstanding, it’s pretty clear the new normal for July is an unbearable inferno with insane dewpoints. Springs and summers generally oscillate back and forth between droughts and deluges, punctuated by severe storms that always occur at the worst times. I posted data awhile back about the September creep- September is basically a summer month now. The only time for potentially nice weather (other than May) is around October. I can’t think of any other region in the US that has a worse climo than ours, other than maybe the Gulf states or parts of the southeast. Just my opinion. I don’t judge climo solely on snowfall either btw

Currently storming here again, so yet another sleepless night. It’s been almost a carbon copy of the July 6-7 event- 0.29” in the 11pm storm, and now an additional 1.11” (and counting) in the last hour with the second storm. I have no doubt this month will be double-digits just like the previous one (and probably my rainiest month ever). The last 9 months or so have convinced me I need to move out of this state- I can’t stand the climo here anymore. (There’s other reasons for moving too, but I won’t get into that)

Imagine- after months of closures and backlogs due to Covid, you finally have a dentist appt lined up for your kids... and the appts are this Tuesday...

It’s a bigger sample size than the mostly worthless indices you all track and it has a 100% correlation so far. I called for a shutout back in October in Weather53’s other thread anyway.

Every November that has less than 2” of rain at BWI/DCA has a winter that turns out to be a dumpster fire. It’s a better leading indicator than any model at this point.

You should make it top seven at BWI so once this winter is done we can have 97/98 and 16/17 still on the list. Five of the top seven in the last 22 years lol

This is anecdotal, but I feel like we've lost all the minor 2-4" events I grew up with as a kid in the 80's and 90's. It's either WSW events or nothing. But I'm like you, hunting for the big storms.

I used this: https://www.weather.gov/media/lwx/climate/bwisnow.pdf And the monthly reports here: https://w2.weather.gov/climate/index.php?wfo=lwx And they both totaled 3.0; however, LWX has never updated their top five least snowiest winters chart and I don’t know why.

BWI only had 3.0” in 2016/17, which would place it #4 on that list.
