Oct 2023 had a 16 page general disco thread. 2024 had a 10 page thread. This October has a 6 page thread. Not the most scientific example but sure seems like weather has had extremely long stretches with nothing to talk about the past few years.
Finished with a much appreciated 2.07", a significant overperformer to be sure.
Northwest winds gusting over 35mph with that deform in Chicagoland. Definitely would be pretty wild if were the white stuff.
Lots of lightning and crashing thunder with the line coming through. Picked up a quick 0.64" which brings us to 0.92" for the day so far.
EDIT: Now 1.19" for the day.
EDIT2: 1.72"
Poor timing with the incoming cold front, so little to no rain with that here.
Looks like another 10 day wait for the next chance of anything. Shitbag pattern continues.
I'd say about 75% of the crops around here have been harvested already. One big plus of having no rain in a month is everything dried out nicely for the harvest.
