Kind of how I felt. You can see on your image that I was in a hole in the precip for quite some time until it all converged. Probably didn't get much more yesterday than we did on Tuesday, but that's fine - not like we needed it.
tl;dr
75% of our winters suck, and even years with analogs to good winters in the past would suck now given AGW. Therefore, there's no reason to think we'll ever have a good winter again.
Last Flood Watch resulted in lots of rain from Fredericksburg and south with barely anything up this way, so obviously the same thing is going to happen today.
The problem is that we're not the northern Mid-Atlantic (or at least 95% of us aren't). If we assume ENSO as the only variable, then we're almost certain to get the suck down here this year.
Honestly shocked at the decent downpour we had just before dinner time. Not sure how much we ended with, but had to be pretty close to 0.5”.
Ended with a pretty sweet double rainbow:
Curious how much rain folks south of Fredericksburg or thereabouts ended up with. Promising start to the day saw everything happen south of us, and there were returns down there for hours.
Not sure about that. The radar is the proverbial Christmas Tree right now with boundaries all over the place. I think we see constant pulsing and reforming of storms for quite some time this afternoon/evening with lots of 2-3" reports.
That's awesome.
I once kicked a full glass of red wine all over a wall and curtains in an old apartment. My now wife and I were eating on the floor (because I didn't have a table), then I got up to use the bathroom and just punted the f*cking thing across the room. Place looked like a GD murder scene.
I always find that kind of annoying, though there can always be a surprise in the other direction, as well.
We missed a lot of the action early on, but when it did rain it came down in buckets. Waiting for the local CoCoRaHs to update...
^ was a few hours ago. Now I’m waiting impatiently for another round of storms, but I’m feeling slightly negative about my chances this late in the evening. Just have a feeling the cells are going to fizzle…
