SHAFTED!!!! I only have gitten 3.86" so far!

 

Just 3.32" here... and nothing resembling a breeze advisory. They keep saying the winds are going to be stronger tomorrow and Monday, however, and that has me a little on edge. I will say that Fishel busted bigtime with his temp forecast for today. Last night at 11, he called for 80 at the station and 82 down here, and that he doubted it would drop below 73 tonight. Well, it's gonna have to warm up 8 degrees to get to his low temperature. Yes, I'm aware that the coastal air didn't make it this far inland... sometimes, though, he might be better off saying it 'might', instead of 'it will'. Just a pet peeve. He's not the only one --- just the one I was watching at the time.

Well, if this weekend's event is any indication, I'm going to have to slash QPF totals by 80% for wintry events this winter. :lol:

Epic rainmaggedon turned out to just be a run of the mill rainy few days.

Y'all been out of the modeled apocalyptic rains for like 3 day now! I'm up to 5" and it's still pouring! It may not be 15", but not run of the mill rain to get monthly rainfall norms in 24 hrs! And I doubt CHS is calling this run of the mill??

We were still forecasted to get 4-6", though.

I'm curious if some of you guys in SC can break 10".

I'm at 4.31" and the forecast precip on Thursday for the Friday - Monday range was for 3-7". I hardly call that a bust.

Random observation.

 

I've read a few accounts that have expressed frustration that Charleston has received more media attention than Columbia in regards to flooding, regardless of the fact that both have suffered greatly.

 

There's definitely a Columbia/Charleston rivalry there that's sort of bubbling right below the surface. It reminds me a little of the Raleigh/Charlotte rivalry.  I bet the same damn frustration over media coverage would be happening  if it happened in NC.

(BTW, I understand there are differences between the two  examples, but still. Everything is friggin' relative)

I smell bust and it smells like old gym socks.

 

 

The is just a preseason bust event.  This is for those not accustomed to the boring weather of the upstate.  :flood:

 

 

To this point I'm not surprised that we haven't had any heavy rain.  When I got home from Athens yesterday the dewpoint was 61, by last night it was 54 with a stiff northeasterly wind driving in drier air, resulting in cooling.   In all of my years, those conditions have never yielded tropical downpours.  At this point in the day, 11PM, I would have figured we would have climbed well into the 60s by now with a more easterly tropical wind.  That hasn't happened, maybe it still will, but those 12+ inch totals were just obvious errors by the models.

 

 

Yes this was a major bust, thankfully.  Rain is shifting into GA and TN now.   

 

 

Historic bust! The fire hose is a little limp, needs some Viagra ! Line has never been as solid as shown on models! Big yawn fest, 3.34 so far, won't break 4!! Nice preparation for winter busts!

:(

 

Yeah, the models busted! :lol:

Fool me once, shame on you...

 

But someone in the fall thread did say the Euro is hinting at it, too.
