I still like the look of this event. Precip stays more toward Southern Maryland....just like the rain has done all year. Maybe it's atmospheric memory but either way I'm not going to question it. Hopefully it overperforms just like all the rain events has done.
I keep trying to convince myself that atmospheric memory is a thing and with 70" of rain so far in Southern Maryland this year that the pattern HAS to continue through winter and at least give us a couple snows. I mean, it can't just flip to drought or be 35F and heavy rain for all of DJF....right?
My rain gauge says I got about 4" here in prince Frederick. I only pray this precip pattern holds all winter with a couple cold shots mixed in. We've had A LOT of rain this year.
Man this baby makes massive torque. Electric motors mop the floor with ICEs. I don't see how a foot of snow stands a chance. But yeah, you're probably right...i totally just jinxed winter.
In Huntingtown, and two of the three roads leading to my development are STILL closed from the hurricane a month ago... The third access point is starting to wash out as well - they tried putting some bluestone down to control the erosion and it's all washing away. Another big heavy rain event and that one will also turn into a sinkhole and we'll all be trapped.
I'm so sick of rain this summer. We have to be close to 35" of rain since July 1st now. We know come winter it's going to dry right up and be sunny and warm.
Holy lord this is like the storm from hell. So much rain. This has to be a record for August precip here. I can't believe how heavy the rain is. Day after day after day...
I thinks it's just cyclical and luck of the draw. In the early 2010s it was the opposite. Drought every year and it seemed like we had a forcefield around us preventing precip.
I'm down in Calvert. Just over 2" overnight for us. We have to be up over 15" for the month now.
My road is still closed from the hurricane and it's been almost 2wks!
What a jungle outside. Reminds me of the month I spent in Borneo for work. All that's missing is the king cobras and monitor lizards. Is this our future? I'm afraid a lot of stick-built homes won't survive long in climates like this. Need to go to cinderblock homes like Central and South America.
Tachinid flies are the worst. Nature is cruel that there'd be such a thing. If I didn't sleeve my larvae then they'd almost all fall prey to tachinid flies. This year has been a record year for regalis. I think it's due to the jungle weather we've been having.
Wow I just checked the national radar. That's one bow echo from hell, it's like half the country!
JFC the derecho was a nightmare, I could do without one of those for the rest of my life thank you very much.
Man what a time to be alive. If 9" of rain wasn't enough, last night we got almost 2" more with that thunderstorm and it looks like we're about to be pounded again. Calvert can't catch a break!
Has it already been determined whether a wet August correlates well with a dry cold Jan/Feb?
Picked up 0.875" in Eastern Calvert this morning with a monsoon-like deluge for about an hour. Nice and sunny now. Nothing better than the smell after a summer storm...except the smell of snow in a noreaster....
