    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?

    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!

    Time to find some extended family...fast. If they aren't around, make new ones or something.

    Ah - I was talking about just the high. My bad.

    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.
  20. Itstrainingtime
    Up to 1.51" for July and 3.07" since June 1st.
  21. 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.
  22. 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.

    I'm actually very close ( ) to the Donegal Springs marker NE of town. The KITT runway is shown on that map. Those pretty colors sort of did a jig (and a jog) to the west of me. The amount of time within the pretty colors was extremely short as well as that thing was hauling on through. With the cell moving with a NW component, you can see that NW of town would have been in the pretty colors for a much longer period of time.

    The radar looked great...honestly, I thought "this is it...here comes a very nice rain" and it literally went north and south of me with just a very light rain here. I'm now at .54" for July.

    Now...Elizabethtown over to Bainbridge is doing quite well...
