And it’s closed.

Reading all of the bust calls and complaining well before the steadier rains were supposed to come in honesty makes me want to close the blinds on this place sometimes.

What are you talking about? It was supposed to pour yesterday and a bunch of areas got basically nothing. Saturday afternoon into evening was always supposed to be the deluge.

No. I’m just tired of know-it-alls like you sh*tting this place up on the regular.

Never claimed I was a know-it-all. In fact, a lot of people here are a lot more knowledgeable than I am. That said, this storm has not come close to the hype. We didn't get much Thursday or Friday. Yesterday was supposed to be a monsoon, and except for a few localized spots, it dropped almost no rain. Today has been about what was expected. Just the facts.

Picked up .5" today.  That is 2.5" then for the day. .2" yesterday and .23" Friday gives 2.98" for the event.  Can't complain with that.  Ground is as wet as I have ever seen it here.  That makes just about 9.5" since May 1.  Winchester must have almost 15" during that time.  Remarkable amount of precip for this area.  Has to be the most I've seen IMBY in this time frame.  Sandy gave me 5" or so, so maybe the 5 week period around that storm was close, but I doubt it.
