January Discobs 2026

Radar looks great. It's nice to see actual moisture. Not the usual moisture starved last minute rug pull we're so use to. 

[stormy]

Radar has been green to yellow over me since 4 am. I have only received .05" !!

[wxdude64]

0.13" at 7 am CoCoRaHS report time and 49.3/49.0 with light rain and fog. Hoping for a lot more! Maybe another 3-4 hundredths since.

[Paleocene]

Drizzle in silver spring. Noteworthy here in dust bowl territory. Hoping for a good soaking drenching gallonous flow from the sky today

Light to moderate rain 43 degrees in Stephenson

I think some of these brighter returns are snowflakes melting. The deeper reflectivity seems to coincide with the CC drops.

I would say about 10 miles north of him. Radar says he's getting it good right now.

Edit 13.2 miles to be exact

Rain in January…the way only Central MD can do. Radar looks great, though.

I was actually gonna bike, but thought I’m about to get poured on, so I decided to clean instead. So far, the rain is definitely lighter than the returns would imply.

.36 the past 24 hours. Really enjoying my new weather station. Cant believe how much they have improved in the past decade.

It has soared to 50.2/49.6 at 11:45 am with rain and fog. Eyeballing the gauge looks like another .25-.33 has fallen. Time to refire the woodstove, it got a break with the mid 50's temps last few days, but that will be long gone by this time tomorrow. 

[SnowtoRain]

.41" event total so far

[SilentTalkie]

Just hit an inch in Nelson County.

Phenomenal precip event here and it’s nudged me to have a solidly productive morning. The only snag is that this would have been an easy warning level snowstorm if temps were 10-15 degrees colder…which is a lot, I suppose lol.

Enjoying today , solid soaking rainfall...Been awhile since I could ride around for work in a steady rain..Dont mind being out in it and getting drenched either..It's not snow but I have always loved a rainy day or rainy night...
