Just got to ignore that spin near La Plata and it definitely does

In the wintertime, assuming temps were cooperating, we'd be screaming PIVOT!!

[WVclimo]

Got rain-shadowed by the Blue Ridge.  1.25” storm total.

Well, there would be a lot of screaming by the folks with of I-70 that's for sure.

2.2” here with 45 mph peak gust.

[mappy]

Up to 3.2” for storm total now. Been a rainy day so far 

[WxWatcher007]

So glad to see the drought relieved a bit for so many. 

[ThePhotoGuy]

2.10 for the past couple days (had to use my old rain gauge).

My logia 7-1 in 1 weather station stopped tracking the rain this past couple days. It didn't appear clogged. Put new batteries in so hopefully that might fix the issue.

I know it's in your profile name....but DUDE. You take THE MOST AWESOME pics, like EVER, in this entire sub. Probably in all of the AmWx subs. I so love your work. I aspire to your level of photographic skills (with my various Google Pixel phones).   So for that....THANK YOU for sharing!!

It will, and once again, I am jealous as all heck. It's 101, 70 dewpoint feels like 109. No rain at all in our forecast. Enjoy it, Mid Atlantic. You are all gonna get buried ALIVE come Christmas!

EDIT: It is now 102 with a 70 dewpoint and it feels like 111.

[Herb@MAWS]

2.4" total in Columbia. Patches of blue sky and a bit of in/out sun. 

[Mrs.J]

I think I am done with rain finally for the system. 2.12” total from the start to finish. 

[katabatic]

1.21" which was about double what was forecast - and like most everyone else, wanted and needed.

1.98 total here in Purcellville. Very happy with the rainfall and the lack of true severe weather in my area (though that tree fall made it on the Weather Channel!) 

 

[mappy]

1.52" Saturday

1.83" Sunday

Total: 3.35" 

[stormy]

A classic example of up-slope enhancement was at Wintergreen which reported 8.35"............... That puts my 2.10" to shame.

 

 

[mattie g]

Just about 3" on the dot here for the event. Pretty dreary day yesterday - we really do know how to hold onto light precip in coastal events after the main show ends.

[Eskimo Joe]

Ended up with just shy of 3". I had some real concerns that we would wind up busting low and was pleasantly surprised. After being dry since March, the spring at the farm where we board our horse in Finksburg is finally bubbling again. More rain please!

[Herb@MAWS]

Another 0.2" yesterday so 2.6" for the Ophelia event in my part of Columbia.

Thank you for the kind words! I appreciate it!! I am fortunate to live in a beautiful area which I take 95% of the photos within a 10 mile radius of my house. One day, I'll go chasing one of these storms!

[WEATHER53]

Yesterday was eerie. So calm and drizzly after all the wind and downpours
