Grateful to get 0.44" of rain in a gusty thunderstorm. Temp dropped to 74 degrees. More storms west of us. Looks like a few storms to dodge at the concert in Clemson.

We only got 0.11” at my house last night. That puts me at 2.21” for the week. We need about 20 inches to end the drought. As always, the heavier rains are isolated. For example, my son lives in Clemson. He is up to 4.31” for the week and 7.88” for the last 30 days, which is 4.10” above normal.

I love the RainDrop app. It is amazing on accuracy. https://www.raindrop.farm

We are up to 1.43” so far. Decided to open our windows and not turn on the tv this morning. Been listening to the beautiful sounds of the rain, birds chirping, and the light breeze bringing music from the chimes. God is blessing us with His voice through nature. Doesn't get any better.

It looks like at least another couple of weeks before we get any measurable rain. The winds are already drying things out. I pray it is not a long, hot and dry summer. I cannot afford another water bill like I had for April!

We have been blessed with 1.88” so far, with another 0.50” possible.

We got 1.04” of rain in a strong storm last night. Much needed rain.

GSP has dropped our total to half an inch. That means I will get less than that over my house near Paris Mountain State Park.

We had some light ice pellets early this morning, enough to show up on my truck bed and the roof. Where did that come from?

Light snow and 33 degrees. Nice surprise.

Well, it is the cliff diving discussion, which is meant for complaining. Growing up is my point. Thank you.

Thankfully, I figured out how to stop getting post from those of you that continue to spew out filthy language on a family friendly forum. Seriously folks, can you think about what you are saying before you say it? Do you think you are being funny with using poor and bad language? Be a human being and think about others. If you choose to ignore being civil, may the next snowstorm miss you again!

It has been the most wonderful and joyful day. This 68 year old weather geek novice was beginning to wonder if I would ever see another good snow. We ended up with almost 6" of glorious powdery snow. To top it off, I was able to get several great workouts in while shoveling and blowing snow off the driveway, all while listening to the late great Sam Cooke and to Bruce Springsteen. Thank you God for treating this getting older man to such a day! Life is short people. Live the question. Enjoy the moment. Finish strong.

Almost 5” at my house. I expect the area just 10 miles east of me toward Spartanburg will get at least 8” before the storm moves out.
