Mount Joy Snowman Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 48 minutes ago, Itstrainingtime said: That almost perfectly matches the great Mount Joy deluge of 8/31/2018. There was a station that recorded 5.91" in one hour, or essentially 1"/10 minutes. That...is some heavy rainfall. Total rainfall that day in Mount Joy was 10.57". I got 6.16" that day. Most since Lee in 2011 and nothing has matched it since. https://weather.com/news/news/2018-08-31-mount-joy-flash-flooding-stranded-cars I remember it well. I left work early that day and when I got off the train in Mount Joy I went to Isaac's for lunch. I recall watching the deluge hit as I finished up my "insert funny bird name" sandwich and thinking that I needed to get the heck out of dodge. I just made it home before things got crazy, with Main Street flooding and all the car rescues and whatnot. I got "only" 4.45" from that event, but that August is my wettest month on record, with a gaudy 17.79". I had three separate events where I got at least 4" during that month -- madness! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlislePaWx Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 August is off to a rip-roaring start with rainfall. Rainfall since midnight: 0.16" Rainfall Yesterday: 2.73" Rainfall month-to-date: 4.93" Rainfall Year-to-date: 33.77", which is more than 10" ahead of last year at the same time with 23.5". Yesterday's rainfall came with two different thunderstorms. The first occurred between 5:30 and 7:00pm with 1.70". The second one was the most intense one with 1.03" falling between 9:45 and 10:30pm. The latest NHC cone for Debby has her passing directly over south-central PA Friday afternoon. I think I'll easily pick up another 5" between now and Saturday morning, making this month a 10"+. Someone mentioned a 10 inch event back in 2018. I'm pretty sure I had between 9.5" and 10.5", but I thought the month was September? Then, the most dramatic 10"+ month before that was back in June of 2011 when I picked up close to 10" in just one day! That one is my #1 greatest precip day (24 hours) of my lifetime. I'll drop in with more updates as we progress to Friday. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 10" event on 8/31/2018 was highly localized in parts of northern Lancaster county. No one else would have received anything close to that, so you're most likely thinking of a completely separate event. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Itstrainingtime Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 MU says if the current trends continue, the LSV might need to worry less about flooding rains on Friday and worry more about Tornadoes. His call is 3-6" west of South Mountain with 1-3" east. I know the drill - I need to root for sleet to preserve the pack. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canderson Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 Isaac’s pissed me off for two reasons. 1) it’s more expensive than some Michelin-starred restaurants 2) ordering food there makes me feel like I’m a movie made my 4 year olds 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think there's a restaurant that I despise more than Isaac's. I'd rather read 3 pages of Blizz's snow ma... Maybe it's time for a sandwich after all. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
