Well, despite a very cool, damp, misty morning in Dewey Beach…the 5K was a massive success for myself. A personal PR for 3 miles and it was actually 3.1 for the full 5K (49 min 20 seconds: 49.202 to be exact ) As a walker, this was sub 16 min pacing, something I was working towards for months. I could not be happier. I’m not a runner and might never be one, but distance walking is my thing. I’ll be looking for more of these events in the future. Time to relax for the rest of the day.

1.93” at my place for the event with on and off light precip pivoting through. At the shore at my parents place partaking in the Coastal Delaware Run Festival. 5K this morning will be cool and damp, but should be fun. Have a great day everyone!

Honestly, it's just incredibly bad luck. Northern stream dominance likely plays some part because in the grand scheme of synoptics, widespread moisture advection is typically best when influenced with some southern stream jet dynamics. It's just incredibly bad luck over the past several years. Not really much else to note off the top of my head.

That's a Wx type specification part of the grid process. Since there is TECHNICALLY some minor elevated convective element that would provide some "burst" components, they probably kept it as the output. I personally would've went with just stratiform rain, but that's the difference from forecaster to forecaster.

Definitely a tight corridor of heavy rainfall across the area. Currently at 0.91" at mi casa, 0.66" at the office, and totals <0.1" west of Rockville. The western edge should expand a little bit as we move into the evening and overnight, but I doubt it gets much further west than Parrs Ridge zone in NoVA up through MoCo/HoCO/Carroll. Tough luck for those areas to the west as they really could use some precip as well. Sigh. I forecasted yesterday and ended up tightening the QPF for today, but this is even a little tighter than my adjustment. Oy vey. Sorry for those that miss out. Us low landers continue to cash.

Just got off of night shifts this morning and I can say this past 5-7 nights were complete hell in the forecasting world. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would be issuing 2 High Risks and 4 Moderate Risks in a 4 days span without a single tropical cyclone in the mix. My ERD’s (Excessive Rainfall Discussions) were easily 2000+ words in length each night. Just absolutely insane. I’m done till next Tuesday, but I’ll remember that set forever.

Full event will end with 0.82 after 0.53" on 3/31 and 0.29" on 4/1 I'll take it

Added some additional rain from the 2nd round. 0.53" official for yesterday and an addition 0.3" so far and still raining according to radar. Could end up near 0.9" for the event. Not bad!

0.38" at mi casa, but man it was rough driving into work earlier. Pouring buckets east side of the Beltway to College Park. Any rain was welcome

B+ overall in the lowlands. Being at this elevation and breaking climo near 19” with a 10+” storm puts this in a solid category. Add in the prolonged winter feel and it gets a very solid grade. A’s are reserved for years with a very memorable storm or two. This one just missed that mark. Can’t complain, but I know others were not so fortunate.

Finished at 67° near the water. Absolutely immaculate day. Cooking steaks now to enjoy the rest of the day

That loss in particular made me want to vomit. Had the game pretty much the whole time and just blew it.

10/10 day Would recommend

The potting soil stuff is no joke. Having a junk batch is brutal and just dismantles any effort that you could put to a garden. We have a pretty great nursery here near Edgewater called Homestead Gardens. They are a bit pricey, but the quality of product is unreal. We'll probably get all our soil from there since it worked wonders last year. Hopefully this season is much better with a great haul!

We were talking about that at the office this morning. No green up to curb things. This is the time of year where you can really add value against things like MOS

Hopefully it's a good season for veggies in these parts. We're planning on planting basil, mint, green beans, and tomatoes for the back yard. I might have to come up for the cabbage. I'll bring the corned beef

I'm looking forward to my first solid spring weekend in the coming months to go for some hiking at Sugarloaf and over in Harpers Ferry. A nice walk around Terrapin in Queens Anne's will be glorious too. I'm ready

Ovi with the hat trick!!

Hmmmm. Send me a PM. Depending on what they look like, might take them off your hands this spring.

Those areas get insane amounts of snow every year too. Something north of 250" in multiple spots and over 400" in the upslope portions in the northwest part of the country. It's wild

I am also apart of that Discord! I'm friends with Rich over there and have met him in real life. Really nice guy. I love snowstorms. I get that adrenaline kick myself and can go a long time just off that. Plus, being a shift worker has its benefits for training your body to stay up and wake up at weird hours. Not exactly great on the body, but it's the life I live. Still need to see a proper LES event. On my bucket list

Yup. I come here to escape it all. I have other mediums to read about this stuff. I want this to stay weather related with friendly banter in this thread. If anyone ever wants to chat about anything else, I'm always down to meet and have a drink and chat. I like civil discourse about politics, but some places I want to get away from it all.

I stay up against my will for 4am runs of the GFS. My kind of group!

Sent you a PM my man

@WxWatcher007 and I are discussing taking a week off in December this year and taking a tour of the Great Lakes. If there's a prime spot for LES at any point in that week, we'll be there. If not, then we will enjoy the scenery across the region. Hoping we can make it happen!
