Would love to put the Wiggum Rule in effect but we are about 2 weeks early. Success rate now is only 50% at best but increases daily to 94% thru early January where it remains until Feb 7 give or take a couple of days. But who knows maybe we can muster some flakes within the next 5 days...guidance says maybe Sunday night early Monday morning. Like I said 50/50 chance this week going thru my 20 years of keeping logs on this. Also never knew JB had something similar based on t-storms. Curious now to see his stats and verification. 64f here btw. Feels like the holidays of yore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTA66 Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 The sun popped out here for about 1/2 hour. Again, very reminiscent of a tropical system -- deep blue skies overhead with dark storm clouds on the horizon in every direction. The clouds have since filled in; been sitting at 60F most of the day. The rain gauge is empty (there must be a crack or something) but the sump pumps are running non-stop.

Never heard thunder here last night but I might have slept through it if there was. Wiggum rule may work for Monday, that would be real nice.
