Now you know what to do come wintertime.

0.17" of rain from a downpour early in the 2am hour that didn't wake me up due to there being no lightning with it.

Had a shower (no thunder) shortly after midnight, then again just around sunrise, but only 0.05 in the gauge. Guess that is better than zero. Currently 60.4/58.8 and cloudy at 8 am.

LOL, looking at visible sat just now, the weather today is brought to you by the letter 'G', floating across southern Virginia.

Reminds me of the time I had my brand new 1997 VW Jetta GT manual. Parked it at work. Left the sunroof open to keep it cool. HUGE storm rolled in with like an inch of rain in 20 minutes. I got to the car, there was an inch of water int he foot wells. lol. I vacuumed it out and let it air dry. No mildew smell and all the electronics worked. I miss that car.

I think we did OK in hunt valley - puddles this AM and I heard the rain hitting the windows pretty good after midnight. Anything is welcome, and that was unexpected goodness. Thought line would not hold, for a change, it did.

.15 near Reston, hopefully enough to knock out some of the pollen that’s been killing me
