Yep, looking like prime opportunity for upslope for Garrett county and WV mountains. Good news for the ski resorts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gymengineer Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 There's something kind of fascinating about a Potomac River basin-wide flooding event in mid-December. Now moderate main-stem river flooding is forecast, which is a fitting way of breaking the all-time precip record. If next weekend's rainstorm verifies, then it's an even more fitting way of ending 2018. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastCoast NPZ Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 We will pay for this with years of drought. Setting up next year's snow-hole root cause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastCoast NPZ Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Anyone know off-hand how many weekends its rained in the past 3 months? Seems like it's been almost every weekend with the exception of last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MN Transplant Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Every year I put out my Christmas lights with the hope that we can get a big storm while they are still up. I guess the reflection off of the flooded backyard will have to do this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like it's been almost every weekend with the exception of last week. I don't know about the past 3 months but I heard or saw that 29 of this year's Saturdays have had rain. I would assume that we have roughly 52 Saturdays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RDM Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 3.24" today - 3.85" for the event including yesterday. Live on Lawyers Road just NW of Vienna and it was closed again today near Hunter Mill for about the.... 10th? time this year? I've lost count. Hunter Mill Rd is closed yet again too just North of the intersection with Lawyers due to overflowing Difficult Run. Our entire yard was a sheen of reflected light from the runoff mid/late afternoon during the heaviest rates of nearly 1"/hr. What a mess out there...

I’m guessing the water table is still pretty high despite the 10 days of preceding dryness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
