California Zephyr westbound from Chicago to San Francisco, then the Texas Eagle eastbound from Los Angeles to Chicago. A series of routes from Mount Joy out to Chicago and back. We'll be renting a car to drive the Pacific Coast highway south from SF along the coast.
51 here with on and off sprinkles/very light showers. Definitely does not have the look and feel of early May, that's for sure. I still might be able to sneak in #9 in the next couple of hours...
You might very well catch and pass "me" this month as I'll be traveling for 23 days beginning on Saturday. Rest assured, family will be stepping in to keep the mow count growing. LOL
Radar almost looks more encouraging for rain this afternoon than it did yesterday. (at least here) A lot of stuff is popping across the western 2/3rds of the state.
Sure is, and the .87" east of York city and the .93" in E-town lines up perfectly with the .89" that I reported as I fall between those 2 points exactly how the bands were oriented yesterday.
I dish sarcasm with the best, no doubt. Having said that, I take a lot of pride in my numbers and it seemed like you were doubting them. I do not over or underreport data.
Moving on now.
Unlike Friday's stratiform coverage of rain, today there were numerous bands oriented south to north. Shoot, MDT had nearly 1" of rain before the first drops fell here. You and I are not the only ones under 1" for the day.
Is that for the day or since Friday?
I'm currently at .89" for the day, 2.30" since Friday. I believe my station is accurate. I was within a couple hundredths of an inch of @Mount Joy Snowmanfrom his last report earlier today.
Models have been insistent that the heaviest rainfall would be early this evening in the LSV but the radar seems to be drying out. Looking like I'll end up with well under 1" for the day.
