    About how much did they get? Elliott said yesterday morning that somewhere in northern MD or southern PA was going to get 4" of rain by this morning.

    Might not be the best beach weather week from VA Beach down to Charleston:

    The smile on that dude - my wife is always asking me why I look so happy when I'm mowing....

    See, I was afraid that this would happen - that's why once it stopped raining back in June, I'd take my mower on a test drive back and forth down the ITT runway.

    I'd like at least a little refresher with the front on Thursday with what looks like a spell of dry weather coming up at the end of the week into next week. But I'm incredibly thankful for what's happened here over the past week. Everything is greening up and best of all...lawn mowers are humming again.

    One (good) thing I've been noticing from CTP - it seems like when summertime cold fronts are forecast to come through, the long range temp forecasts usually end up way too low. Meaning, a forecast high 5 days out of 79 ends up being an actual high of 86. CTP has been lowering the forecast temps after the passing of the cold front coming through on Thursday. Back on Sunday, they had me at 86/67 for Friday/Friday night, yesterday they had me at 85/64 for Friday/Friday night, and now this morning my forecast is 83/62. I like seeing temps going down as the time gets closer. Even if it's not much...it's better than getting excited for upper 70s when it ends up in the mid 80s.

    How sweet it is!

    Just got home from work and drove through a deluge from Chickies to home. Up to .31" here and .22" of that in the past 10 minutes.

    Seeing a lot of local forecasts that some areas today and tonight will pick up 3-4" of rain - you're at the top of the leaderboard heading into the 2nd round of play.

    ...at least what you've gotten will help lay down a base for the future rains to accumulate better.

    Nice to see some early winners so far today. Hope even more join the fun as the day goes on.

    Cells are a poppin' over western York, Adams and eastern Franklin counties now...

    I mentioned last week about being humbled - I sincerely meant it. And I'm reminded of it every time I leave home and travel to work. To get nearly an inch and a quarter of rain while areas just 2 miles from me had less than a tenth of an inch...I feel so bad for you and so many others who need rain so desperately. My yard has recovered. It went from 100% tinder to looking almost like it does during a typical April/May in a matter of days. Shoot, last night I was 2 miles away from getting another 1". Your words are fitting..."living vicariously" through someone else's good fortunes. It's why I maintain that if any one particular's home doesn't receive something that someone else does...how much does it really help the person who is on the outside looking in? Hopefully today brings copious rainfall to areas that ARE IN A FREAKING DROUGHT...

    The Pennsylvania Lottery Continues: @MUweather 1/2 A vigorous disturbance tracking northeastward through the mid-Atlantic States will trigger widespread showers and heavy, drenching thunderstorms across northern MD, southeastern PA and the Lower Susquehanna Valley this afternoon into tonight.. 2/2 Due to extensive cloud cover, severe weather is not anticipated. However, localized flash flooding of low-lying, poor-drainage, and urbans areas will be a concern. Rainfall amounts will average 0.50-1.00" or less, but up to 3" may fall in the hardest-hit locations.

    Eric Horst's house was ground zero for that. He measured 12.5" and was out posting videos on MU's site during all of it. To say I was a little green was an understatement.
  17. Itstrainingtime
    Thanks...I was partly cloudy while 10 miles away got 12". Oh...but LNS got 9" from that so now I feel much better! Looking back, what a great snow event that was!!!

    I don't disagree with you that it matters. It is this area's official recording station. I strongly disagree with passive-aggressive comments that are made directly in response to someone talking about conditions in their yard about a serious lack of rainfall by essentially saying "MDT is above normal...what kind of fools are you to talk about some sort of phantom drought." In that situation, it absolutely DOESN'T matter what is happening at MDT. Each of us have our own realities when it comes to the weather. I grew up in a house of Phillies fans. (sigh) Summer nights were filled with Harry Kalas and Richie Ashburn on either the radio or TV. Do you know how many times Harry would say "Whitey...it's pouring at the airport" while there was nothing happening at the Vet. Whitey's response was "Harry...we're not playing at the airport." Shockingly, the Phillies continued to play on! They never once stopped the game because it was raining at PHL - that was completely, 100% irrelevant to what was happening on South Broad Street. The airport measurements matter...but they also don't matter at all. I know that there are people who agree with you on this. I respect that. I personally will find zero satisfaction in MDT getting 38" of snow this upcoming winter if I get 15". To me, and my own life...it'll be a shitty winter. Because that is my reality.

    It was crazy! My wife and I were sitting in our backyard last evening when I get this text from my daughter: "how long is it going to rain like this" - she lives 1.1 miles as the crow flies from me. I'm reading this...stunned. It was a pleasant evening. There was no rain in the forecast, nothing on the radar when I looked at it around 6pm...rain was the last thing on my mind. There was measurable rain .2" miles south of me and .5" .6 miles from me. Marietta was under water! (it never rained a drop at our place)

    It won't matter. Marysville, Harrisburg, Rouzerville...anywhere outside of Middletown could go the next 6 months with no rain but if MDT is above normal, no drought.

    High today is/was 93. 21st day for 2024 in the 90s.

    Looks amazing! I hear that Fin Fur and Feather is under new management and they've done a great job at revitalizing the place. Love it up there. We have family that has a cabin up near the Black Forest Inn.
  23. Itstrainingtime
    Up near Fin Fur and Feather up in Haneyville?
  24. Itstrainingtime
    I was still in the teens until this past week - up to 21.38" YTD.

    My nearly double digit rainfall deficit and tinder box grass is so relieved to here this great news!
