  1. I really am lucky and I don't take it for granted. But I've worked damn hard to get here. 28 years of working in the hottest of hot and coldest of cold, dodging traffic and dealing with ticks, dogs, black widows and working on top of an 80 ft dam. Its just time.
  2. Thank you!!!! I'm still in a lot of disbelief that its happening
  3. How can I be old when I am told I am too young to retire? Something does not compute.
  4. Exactly 30 days from today I get to do something very few people at my age get to do. Retire at age 50.
  5. What a great morning. Cool and just nice out.
  6. The county built a big dyke down near Huntington to prevent that one area from flooding so maybe it will pay off for these rain events. Wolf Trap has a valley effect in places so that won't get any better with all the paving and storm drains. Your hood is just low to begin with. If y'all were a few feet lower you'd almost be tidal. lol I'm just getting frustrated with my VP2 wx station. Its old. Like 15 years old. And the rain collector gets clogged too easily and not sure its measuring precip accurately anymore
  7. It was a given that their time above ground would be short lived compared to their 17 year dirt nap. Looks like the show is over and all we have left are the shells, husks, carcasses to remember them by. And the smell. Nature gave us a show for a few weeks. Now I just want to make it to the next time they decide to pop up and sacrifice themselves to windshields and hungry @mappy dogs
  8. wx station said only .6" fell but there is no way. It POURED for almost an hour. Del Ray, Alexandria had over 2" and I'm not that far from there.
  9. MD out for parts of the area? Watch gonna follow?
  10. Kind of a waste of a storm but impressive how it developed this close to the coast
  11. Sadly, i murdered a ton of them driving to PA and back this morning
  12. I know where they all are. Dead in my gutter clogging it. At least they were yesterday.
  13. 1. Better hope the cicadas don’t chew on the solar panel like they did your cable 2. For the month I have 2.87” so most of my rain came since last night. This rain is feast or famine
  14. You know what low clouds also help with? Not needing the a/c today
  15. Kids just told me how much it’s rained at home and I’m stunned 2.06” for the day. 2.36” since yesterday
  16. cuts down on the cicada feasting sooooo no gross dog poo butt?
  17. Had some light rain overnight. Some showers this morning. Glad i cut the grass but wasn't a downpour like other areas got.
  18. They NEVER do silt fencing correctly
  19. Sorry to hear about the car prob, @North Balti Zen If you want a laugh then at least you didn’t have to clean out a gutter in the pouring rain because it was clogged with…wait for it…dead cicadas. yeah
  20. Crushing it with .11” so far
  21. Funny. Just to your NE where I am it’s barely raining
  22. Barely raining at home while it’s pouring 360° around me
