I’m mostly watching for the fertilizer we put down, and my drive home after the concert haha 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m just to the east of Dulles airport watching the storm pass literally under 3 miles to the west. Glad the rain will at least get into the ground water from over there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastCoast NPZ Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 Round 2 total weak sauce here. Drizzle and light rain for the past 1.5 hours. Lighting and heavier rain seemed to slide just east. But it's at least something. Somewhere between. 75 and 1" for the day. Grateful to wash away some pollen. The last 2 weeks have been miserable. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks noticeably more green up here than the majority of the last few years. Today's rainfall will only help. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it has been quite awhile since we have gotten a nice garden variety thunderstorm and soaking rain. I don’t always want severe storms it has been thundering for close to an hour now with occasional flashes of lightning. Sounds like my Thunderstorm station on Pandora that I fall asleep to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You aren't kidding! There are gonna be some impressive totals from that area - they've been getting trained for hours. I'm just now getting close to the edge of that train hoping to get under it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
