    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.

    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.

    Up near Fin Fur and Feather up in Haneyville?
  11. 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!
  13. Itstrainingtime
    Time to find some extended family...fast. If they aren't around, make new ones or something.
  14. Itstrainingtime
    Ah - I was talking about just the high. My bad.

    Might not end up BN here - Sun and 86 at 2:55...

    My wife and I have been watering about 1.5 hours every day since early May. That's normal. What hasn't been normal is that this year we've had to do so virtually every day with so little rain falling. And that time is just watering our veggies and flowers. We've already had a nice yield of peppers, eggplant, romaine lettuce, a few different varieties of tomatoes, raspberries, strawberries and blueberries.

    Maybe I don't understand or know how to read observations - from what I can see, the airport in West Ocean City has received 1.84" of rain today. Are those ridiculous amounts farther south over Assateague Island?

    I wish I would have known this was you... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_yBumahNA9g

    Very nicely mowed yard! This guy approves.

    Current temp is 81. That's nice. Dew point is still at 68. (I see it's down to 64 now at MDT) That's not quite as nice. It's definitely more uncomfortable today than I was expecting. Which means...I need to adjust expectations.

    That map is humbling. I was JUST inside the goods. Another mile or two south and I would have had totals like you.
  23. Itstrainingtime
    Up to 1.51" for July and 3.07" since June 1st.
  24. Itstrainingtime
    Honestly...I was embarrassed to share my total. One, it's hard to do so when so many others got so little. Two, I had no idea. The first cell moved through and dropped .10". At that point I was in a 4 hour meeting last evening and assumed we didn't get anything additional since I heard nothing from my wife. I got home at midnight, looked at the monitor, and promptly passed out.
  25. Itstrainingtime
    A rain that persisted for "several hours" according to my wife last evening dropped 1.21". My phone app for my station isn't working and I rely on her for reports. Needless to say...I was more than shocked when I got home last night.
