Jebman Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 Congrats on all the rain and on an excellent jebwalk. You might get trowal rain on top of that later. The great thing about a late night jebwalk is that you can indulge yourself, get into the floodwaters, swim around, walk thru all the big puddles you can find, and no one ever sees you. You enjoy the full immersive experience. You'll remember this for the rest of your life! Experience the heavy rain disaster The Jebman Way!! This is what I do in winter in a big blizzard: I wait til 3am, then roll around in deep snow, walk in other peoples snow, enjoy all the big drifts, basically be a big deep snow HOG. I get away with all kinds of crazy behavior in the snow and everyone else is perfectly normal, they are all deep asleep blowing Zzzzs while I enjoy all the snow on MY TERMS. Do this in the summer in the catastrophic flooding and in the winter in huge deep blizzards. You'll have EPIC storm memories for the rest of your life! Teach this to your kids too!

Jebman Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 Dont look now, but the ULL is over northern West Virginia and all that rain is moving SOUTHEAST --- Right toward us. Right onto saturated ground! I'll be loving it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WVclimo Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 2.46" of rain from yesterday. Third event in excess of 2" here this month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The heavier and steadier rain got to within about 10-20 miles from my doorstep then retrograded west-southwestward toward the developing (or maybe the upper level) low. Frustrating in a sense, but certainly fascinating to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormpc Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 Still, pretty rapid redevelopment in the NW NEAR THE MD line. Round 2 getting it's act together for a showery day. You did very well MN. A lot of what you got was with the appetizer, ironically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlizzardNole Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 4.0 total here, with almost half of that in just a couple hours in the very heavy first round late yesterday morning. That was the best part with some close lightning. After such a dry June (1.4), July total is now 9.3. Unrelated note: a friend went to Lake Placid yesterday to visit family -- the low last night there was 39! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAPE Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 Was a nice rain event. 3.3" here. Just some light showers now, and not sure if anything significant falls today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlowerLowerDE Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 My rain guage is a clean 5 gal bucket. Accordingly we had just at 6 inches of rain here in lower Delaware. There was a band that came through about 4 am. I have rarely heard such a downpour. Fortunately it was so dry here that most of the rain soaked right in. I am sure there are going to be problems but it could have been worse for sure. We will see what today brings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrinceFrederickWx Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 3.67" system total- it's still drizzling on and off. I just need another 0.21" to get a double-digit monthly total IMBY so I'm hoping we can nickel-and-dime our way there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds me of snow measurement. We kept on about a winter-style noreaster, so...SLD measured it that way. Pretty impressive. I had 1.35 ovrnt on the electric gauge. Haven't dumped the official one yet, but it's close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I only had 2.57" this past June, and nearly all of that was from the 6/19 storm. I did make a couple posts awhile back about how this pattern reminded me of June 2015 (where I did have a double digit total), so maybe you're confusing it with that. I've only lived here 3.5 years and I've had three double-digit months (June 2015, May 2016, and September 2016) which is unbelievable when you think about it...
