Solo2 Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 Rain......most of the day with off and off drizzle/showers. One burst of heavier rain earlier. ~8" in the past 4 weeks. Grass has to be cut at least every three-four days. Tired of it. I want to see the sun for more than a day here and there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avdave Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 Showers have broken out here finally around 130 or so. Been consistent since then .03 has fallen so far, nothing exciting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowfan Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 Looks like we still have a ways to go before we hit the first 90 degree reading. I, for one, am happy about that.....especially after last summer. It looks like we're going to see quite a few nights with lows in the 40s....30s in the outlying areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I didn't see Carrie in the clouds, but last Thursday Westminster (Carroll) was under a tornado warning for something like 4 straight hours which I have never seen happen before. Actually a small tornado was confirmed in Westminster before 8am Thursday morning but only did tree damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
