mattie g Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 SNE is getting pummeled. Surely, there must be some Thunder snow with 2-3" per hour rates in there....add in the 20-30 mph gusts and it looks like a great storm. It's like realizing that what you thought was a bad dream was nothing short of miserable reality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattie g Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Awesome, thanks! Not sure how accurate it is though...didn't show anything where I am right now and it poured for 20mins or more. I've found it to be fairly accurate. Sometimes it takes a little bit to re-center the radar on the map if you zoom in or out, but in general it's pretty good.

Ian Posted August 15, 2011 Author Share Posted August 15, 2011 wonder how much we'll see the current shield build south.. northwest wind not too favorable for much rain down this way but anomalous cold air aloft probably sets off at least a few somethings even if we don't get into the more continual stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxUSAF Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Looks like some of the Frederick, MD, folks can stop crying about the "desert", at least for today. Looks like they got pounded the last couple hours. I'm liking the radar filling in nicely over HoCo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like they got pounded the last couple hours. I'm liking the radar filling in nicely over HoCo. Um, I've had nothing but sunshine all day in Ballenger Creek (SW Frederick). I'm at 4.3" since May 1. Most of Howard County is approaching 15" in that same time period. Easy to make judgement when you're the winner and not paying big water bills to keep the property looking decent. One edit: I believe most posters from Frederick are from near the city. Reality is that Frederick sits in a bowl (only 180 ft) and at the base of the Catoctins which likely impacts the atmosphere (both temps and precip). This is a common theory up this way although never validated by a scientist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those of us in the rain shadow west of rt 15 will continue to b**ch and moan This is true. Those stuck between the Blue Ridge and Rt 15 are not having a good summer in terms of rainfall. I guess we just get our big rains between Nov and Apr...for some reason, the Catoctins don't seem to come into play for winter rain events.
