[NorthArlington101]

Right around 1” in CHO. Shoulda woulda coulda been a good one.

[PrinceFrederickWx]

System total 2.21” -if this were December you’d all be mad at me for stealing your snow yet again. :-)

I was gonna post that I heard some thunder around 11pm but the board was down.

[WVclimo]

Just came in from a long walk.  Blustery morning out there.  Wind is 14 gusting to 23, with light rain at 43 degrees.  0.78" so far.

[C.A.P.E.]

1.2" here. Still some light showers and windy. Temp went up overnight. Currently 54.

[Eskimo Joe]

Such a let down of a storm so far.

I’m up in central jersey at my folks place today.  Very windy and pouring here. Under a high wind warning.

I love a rainy night.

I always had a feeling that Eddie Rabbitt was posting on here from beyond the grave. Now it’s confirmed!

0.91" here with a little left to come, but with 2.70" for the month, unless something unexpected happens between now and next Thursday, this will be my first below normal month since we were in that big drought last winter.

 

eta: That was sarcasm.

[GramaxRefugee]

Emptied 0.31 las night and have 0.87 in there now, so about consistent with others, (except Prince Frederick, but no surprise there).

49f ovrst dzl currently

[poolz1]

Amounts seem pretty uniform around the area...

.88" here since yesterday afternoon.  During winter we would be thrilled with an areawide 6-12" but a bit disappointed that the model runs of the stalled low at the mouth of the Ches didnt happen.

1.00" since yesterday 

[Stormpc]

1.40 west side of Woodbridge.

Posting from the ark?

Just 0.50 here, a little wind and chilly. The 44.0 degree high is a new record 'cool max' for the date, beating 2005's 47.0 reading. That is the 2nd cool max of the month (22nd), first time that has happened in a good while.

Sorry about that. Weenie mode got carried away and changed my 1.36" total to a heavy wet paste.

[C.A.P.E.]

53 with persistent light rain and drizzle here. Not an outside day.

1.28" so far, and 4.25" for the month.

[EastCoast NPZ]

Has dried out here, finally.  But not before I got to spend 2 hours in the rain aerating mine and my neighbors' yards.  What a mud-bog.  Hopefully, it'll dry out enough to salvage a fire-pit night.  Haven't measured yet, but certainly at least an inch out of this storm.

Eta:

1.2" event total.

[PCT_ATC]

just under 2 3/4" storm total in Warrenton.  

 

[nj2va]

A few good gusts here (40) and T&L (at the house in McHenry). The highest peaks near Canaan should switch to rain/snow mix overnight if I had to guess. All rain here though. 

[losetoa6]

Northwest Winds gusting to 33 mph here . Currently 51 but feels colder for sure . To bad the nor'easter didn't verify wind wise here .

[nw baltimore wx]

The fall color is making a very decent recovery in the Columbia area.

[EastCoast NPZ]

Colors rebounding here also.  Hiked up in George Washington national forest yesterday and there was some nice color.  Delayed, but not denied.

[wxdude64]

Wonderful day here, 40's, breezy, cloudy with a few sprinkles from time to time. Only way to make it better would be for it to be 10 degrees colder with flurries instead of the sprinkles.

Anyone curious about daily normal temperatures + precip + records for every month here's a link to site for Baltimore ( Bwi). I was using it to look at all time low max highs  and as expected 1994 was one with January 19th reaching only 5 deg. 1899 was 1st with 3 degree high in February.
