87storms

Might make a run at 0.5” after all.

Just got back from a quick food trip…nice little steady rain here and a lot of puddles. Nice weather to watch the NBA all star game.

Euro was always kinda light with precip up here and that seems to be the case so far. 0.5” is gonna be a real stretch, but still a welcome soaker.

Yea, but I still want no part of that right now lol

It's disgusting. I haven't gone down to that part of the Potomac, but I imagine those Potomac and Harper's Ferry tubing and rafting, etc. companies are gonna feel the pinch this summer.

That sounds more like a cold. I had a pretty decent one for a few days during the snowcrete storm. Wasn't debilitating, but wasn't fun either.

It's definitely milder today than I expected. Weather stations are showing mid-40s across the region lol.

This is the most important thread of the season, but first I'm going to enjoy the incoming thaw.

The biggest issue with this storm is that it's not cold. I'm just messing with you...I don't actually mind a storm thread (rain or snow) and, quite frankly, I don't even want it to snow. I want to get these snowcrete mounds down and maybe we can get a normal, freshly packed snowstorm before the season is out.

We definitely longtracked up to 0.5” of rain.

Is that up in the Watershed? I biked Skink to Salamander trail once. Skink was a hike a bike for me…gnarly rock garden.

I'm kinda impressed at how well the Euro AI did: https://www.tropicaltidbits.com/analysis/models/?model=ec-aifs&region=us&pkg=mslp_pcpn&runtime=2026020718&fh=192

My suggestion...ride that thing into the ground until jeep prices come down. Those engines and transmissions can last unless you're off-roading on the regular.

Lol nice. I only had the 2014 2 door sport s (anvil) but I remember my aunt had a 96 (around that year) red grand Cherokee and it was awesome. I drove it a few times. Those Stellantis prices, though. What are your thoughts on the current base Wranglers with the steel rims? I feel like they look a bit cheap, but I guess they’re more rugged?

I don’t think I knew you had a Jeep. I’m jealous. Which model?
