Mount Joy Snowman

Low of 70 with .93” of rain. Now we start the pivot towards beautiful weather. Much needed.

Looks like a little under an inch here. Glad to see the southern end of the county take the brunt this time. The place hit hardest was really Perry County, with basically the entire county seeing 2-4”.

I don’t want to jinx it but things seem to be moving through swiftly and collapsing at a good rate. Looking like we may avoid a repeat of last night. About to exit the train in Mount Joy.

Our flash flood guidance is so meager at this point, I just don't see how large swaths of Lancaster County don't have serious issues tonight. Hoping for the best but things could really go south quickly. Chiques Creek is completely swollen as it is.

Man that radar is starting to look juicy again. Atmosphere is just a wet sponge that needs wrung out.

Yes, I'm hoping that's our saving grace today, that the cold front rams things right on through. The lack of steering winds yesterday was a big part of the problem. Still, we can't afford much out our way without big issues arising quickly. I'm in Harrisburg today so maybe I brought the storms with me up this way.

After scanning through my records, I've only had seven other occasions when I registered a single-day total greater than yesterday's 4.07", three of which occurred in the epic month of August 2018. My official total for June is 9.25", good for my wettest June ever and within a half inch of May's 9.7". I now sit at 27.52" for the year. After perusing some sources this morning, I have a bad feeling for what's to come later today. Hope to be wrong.

Low of 70 and 4.07” of rain here. Honestly, I was expecting more but the late night stuff didn’t quite perform the way the earlier stuff did. Still, has to be one of my highest one-day totals on record, will check the spreadsheet later. Not loving the look for later today. We could really use a break over this way.

It’s unreal. Looks like the last of the heavy stuff just went through so hopefully we can get a reprieve and catch some shut eye.

That’s my fear, that tomorrow could offer a repeat. Although it seems like tomorrow’s storms should move through at a faster pace, hopefully. Weather roulette indeed.

Well forget sleeping. The whole house is up again. This is some of the most intense and persistent lightning I’ve ever witnessed. Phone keeps buzzing from NWS sending out warnings on an emergency flash flooding event in progress. Can’t get over how the radar just keeps firing in our direction. Very intense night around these parts. I’ll probably have damn near 6” come morning. Aye.

Saw that. Not great. Looks like a little over 3” for me thus far as I head to bed. More likely overnight. Official tally in the morning. Finally got the kids and dogs settled. Night, all.

Starting to get concerned with all this back-building right over my area. New flash flood warning issued.

I’m at a similar amount, probably closing in on 1.5”. Tropical in nature. Manheim area again taking it on the chin today with big totals.

These storms are relentless. Just keep reforming.
