BlizzardNole Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 This pic tells the story of how things go here. It happens over and over and takes a fluke to get a summer t-storm here. My only chance is tropical remains in a few days but it wouldn't surprise me if there's a sharp cutoff to my east 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAPE Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 Lots of action around last evening and managed a brief power failure, but barely enough rain to wet the ground. Betwixt and between. 2 day total here is a couple hundredths. Things tend to even out, so probably due to be unlucky here for awhile after all the rain the last 3 weeks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southmdwatcher Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 Dang, how long have you all lived here??? This region is super humid and hot during the Summer. We have all these rivers and the Chesapeake Bay. If you live up in the highlands or plateau and never lived in the lowlands then no disrespect towards you. We are close enough to eastern Canada, to have a few backdoor cold fronts each Summer that make it less humid and cooler....but some years we stay hot and humid all Summer.

BlizzardNole Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 I turned my garden sprinklers on early this morning and forgot to set a timer. Best rain in my garden all summer LOL!
