Idk. Maybe its just bad luck. Nothing too imposing to my west to cause this. Last summer the same thing happened. Storms split and go around me. Other times of the year it doesn't seem to be a problem. Not like stephens city where it was always dry.
Dying sprinkles. Lol. Going to get a head start and go ahead and record another 0 for the day.
Now 1.73" for the past 47 days. Grass is complete cinder and trees are wilting and dropping leaves. Watering plants nearly daily.
Almost a whole .10" in the bucket from last night's deluge. Combine that with the .13" pounding i got Sunday afternoon and I'm pushing nearly 1/4" this week!
That puts me at 1.73" since May 3! All that in just 6 weeks!
What drought?!?
Another dud. 15 minutes of light rain and a few distant rumbles of thunder. Doubt it even wet the ground under the trees. This place is cursed. I cannot beleive I managed to move to a drier place than Stephens City.
Picked up a another whopping .13" from yet another DOA storm. Absolutely amazing watching it approach and then completely die as soon as it got to me and the N part remain strong and soak those parched areas of Frederick County that only received 3 to 9 inches of rain 2 days ago.
Its been raining here now for about 90 minutes. I have .13". In an hour and a half. While other parts of the county have had 9" apparently.
.13" in 90 minutes.
.13"
Well, all the action today is even farther to the east. Bright sun here and the baking of the desert sand begins. I guess it'll be cool to see if it gets hot enough to turn to glass when it cools down in November.
