This was a bust IMBY. I got more from the system early this morning.

0.38” so far today, 6.07” for the month.

1.45" storm total 5.66" monthly total First month since March 2024 that rainfall exceeded 5" IMBY. Hoping the drought pattern of the last 12 months is finally breaking.

I was off Friday too, so this has been three days of 10/10 weather. Tomorrow looks perfect too. We’ve been hitting the trails a lot. Best Memorial Day weekend ever.

July 2014 was the GOAT

This is not scientific, but I’ve had a feeling for awhile that we’re getting a cooler summer. This weekend has been a good sign. Fingers crossed.

Nowadays that’s like the annual rainfall total for Stephen’s City in one storm.

1.66" yesterday 0.42" today (so far)

Currently at 0.88" - there was a downpour around 6am that was responsible for most of that total. Now it's just light rain.

0.48" IMBY

I timed my grass seed planting well- it’s coming up really good after the recent rains. Hopefully I don’t lose half my grass like I did in last year’s drought.

2.53” final total here.

2.09” and still pouring

I’m gonna go out on a limb with the bold prediction that I’ll wind up with more rain than @EastCoast NPZ once again.

We’ve struck out with so many lunar eclipses over the last 12 years that it’s become absurd. January 2019 was literally the only one that was clear the entire way through.

Yep as I thought, we’re screwed here, 100% cloudy now and can’t see anything. It rose in clear skies though this evening.

Who else here is getting up at 2am on Friday to watch the lunar eclipse?

It was yet another winter that was compressed into January… but what a month it was! The 1/3 squall was awesome and the 1/6 MECS was one of my favorite storms ever. The arctic air plus the snowpack refreshers gave me snowcover for the entire month. It was the first time since January 2022 that it felt like deep winter IMBY. But… December was a shutout. March will be a shutout. February felt like a shutout too; I got one 9” storm that was completely gone within 36 hours, while the rest of the month torched. Then the big storm that missed us all. But I did finish above climo. A final grade is tough, but I’ll go with A- just because the January was so good it outweighs everything else.

Every March is nothing but wind.

Just FYI, the 1.0” “Dept. of highways” measurement at Prince Frederick that’s in LWX’s PNS reports is not accurate. I submitted 0.2” (same location) but it wasn’t posted for some reason. I have no idea how State Highway measured that; we didn’t have any snowcover before this either, so it can’t even be snow depth! That’s quite a slant stick lol

0.2” of powdery snow here. I’m just a little too far north on the radar. Sidewalks never fully caved despite it being lower 20’s for the entire event.

^Found the Berk sock

He does this every time: Boxing Day, Snowquester, etc… it’s like he wants to be “the guy that called it” in the one-in-a-million chance something happens.

6-8" for me... sure

Wow, I’m surprised it happened 14 times!
