Wow look it's a day 10 storm. I've not seen one of those before on the GFS.

Somebody needs to add Bastardi's "Delayed, not denied" to the mid Atlantic winter bingo board.

Flurries right now in Huntingtown - that ties us with last year's snow total. Anything on top of this is gravy.

Prince fred? We didn't get any snow this year so I'm going with zero. Maybe a tenth of an inch?

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?

Good to see the (tm) d10 storm has already showed up for winter. And there it shall forever live... To the north of every man's heart.

That's probably the final nail in the coffin for our winter hopes then.

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.

This year I bought a Muck Truck and I also bought the snow plow attachment... I'm praying I get to use it at least once.

What a time to be alive

2.5" so far since this morning here in Calvert...still coming down heavy from time to time.

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.

#$#@#@!#!!#@!# rain it never ends!!!!! I've had almost 3" since last night. So humid, hot and wet. It's Borneo.

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.

Sweetgum!

I'll raise you your monarchs and introduce my Regal moth caterpillars!

Winter is basically just confined to March/April from now on. Sun angle is too high to allow for snow then though

If by March you mean January then yes I agree.

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.
