I’m about 2 miles WSW of Oregon Ridge Park. Once the rain started, it poured here the entire time with a severe t-storm cell directly overhead for about 15-20 minutes. Buckets. 1 hour ago, Eskimo Joe said: I have a Tempest wx station as well. The haptic rain sensor can have a slight overbias during prolonged heavy rain, and a slight underbias during prolonged drizzle or light rain. Interesting. Jeff B...by the way, I don't want you to think I was calling you out or anything. I just found it interesting that your totals were significantly higher than those reported on here and in CoCoRaHs. I wonder if the issue that EJ mentioned affected your measurements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nj2va Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 39 at Deep Creek. Nice to see the first flakes at Snowshoe which I'd guess is a couple weeks past average. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will ask for some information so you can provide readings from a colocated gauge. I did this over the summer during numerous events and the accuracy has improved from laughable to believable.

Cobalt Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 Probably the first truly "chilly" day of the fall season here. Temps were steady in the low 50s for most of the late afternoon, and coupled with the wind, it did certainly give a late fall vibe out there. Sitting at 48 right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kgottwald Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 Monthly low so far at DCA is 47, which would be the all-time warmest if it holds till the end of the month, beating 46 in 1984 and 1971. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osfan24 Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 I picked up 3.5 inches Monday into Tuesday. Combined with the Friday system, I should easily eclipse 5 inches this week. Wish it had come sooner, but hopefully it helped the lawn seeding efforts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t know that about our station. Any suggestions on how to adjust rain totals given its bias during those type of events? Honestly, I don't know. In a situation like that, I incorporate CoCoRahs and doppler estimates. If my rain totals are too high or low, I toss them and use the consensus around me. Keep in mind, this only happens maybe 1 event in 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar wind conditions but out of the E or NE and heavy rain with a lot of trees in decent canopy. It all boils down to how effective your utility plan has been in maintaining trees. There's a 10' min limit around primary distribution lines for a reason! A lot of places here maintenance has been quite lackluster and such during heavy rains with just a moderate breeze we have flickering lights and on occasion bright flashes and grunt/boom/humming from said wires.

Stormfly Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 Really clear skies tonight! Can see the Milky Way with my tired eyes. Broke out the iPhone 13 Pro Max and using a developer beta iOS 15.2 which really improves night mode performance was able to capture this! 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were walking around Centennial Lake at night time and had the flashlights on our heads. The flash lights illuminated it. I have seen flurries at 48 degrees before so I thought maybe it was possible. Given no one else reported it, it was probably just the that ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
