See if there is another round later.

Looks like another round about to move through.

Believe snowshoe top of mountain has their first flakes of the season https://www.snowshoemtn.com/media-room/skidder-slope-live-cam. Think I'll head out to the mountains and try to catch the jet streak induced precip.

It's really coming down here east of DC. Much heavier rain then I expected. Radar also looks pretty impressive.

Another 0.2” today. Well over 3” for October. Too bad the rainy pattern doesn’t ever arrive

Yeah, moderate rain down in lower southern MD and radar looks like it lasts a while.  Might be anafrontal rain?  We are at about 1.1 so far.

0.83" and still raining. Quite a bit more than forecast. Was hoping it would dry out early today but that's not happening.

Refreshingly cool this morning. Lots of freeze warnings up for N/W areas.

Damn. That's quite a bit higher than any of the local mesonet stations.

HRRR says we start to clear out after noon. A good morning to get stuff done. 
It’s currently 33 with winds gusting to 28 at dolly sods. And full blown winter conditions in NNE where KMWN is reporting below 0 WCs with snow accumulating.

It’s snowing! Still on the mountain (some cell service) and it’s alternating between bursts of dendrites and sleety rain. Moss is a bit white. Totally worth the trip.

.57", since midnight, 1.29" event total. You got me curious so double checked to make sure my PWS is working right based on other nearby obs.

Since midnight lines up with Lusby and Cambridge mesonets which was the direction the rain was moving from. Easton meso must have just been just missing the rates or has something messing up the reading cause that is much lower than adjacent sites. Other local pws in Easton have similar event totals. 

Much needed rain. 36.68" for the year now. Still might get average rainfall amount even with prolonged drought.

Hot damn. We are cursed to love frozen water. Nice stuff!

Did better here in Columbia than what I had an anticipated.
 

0.75 inches for Friday evening through Saturday morning.

.52, most after midnight.  Surprised since heavy storms went north, east south and west of me last evening.

Disgusting out today. Ready for the 50s this weekend

Made it to 60 today.  Not has cold feeling as I was expecting.  Winds were blah too. 

[MN Transplant]

Afternoon high of 57 IMBY, but it'll go in the books as a midnight high of 60.

WB 18Z 3K NAM is a tick warmer this run for tomorrow am.

Looks like some inversion issues for us up here.

What a glorious fall day. Topped out at 55 and sunny in Mt Airy. Perfect jeans and flannel day.
