@nj2va what a great storm! I am over 8" for the day. Your maze looks amazing, what fun! 19.6 degrees here - best part of today is no wind to speak of. 

I was saying the same thing to friends staying with us as we took a jeb walk earlier. Hard to remember a storm like this here with no wind. That earlier band this afternoon was insane - easily 20 or 30:1 ratios.

Yard is too sloped for a pool and besides I'm a "it's better to have a friend with a pool" kind of guy! But, might be enclosing the deck and maybe adding a hot tub too this summer!

Same here. Wife’s dad put damn near a resort pool in his yard last year, saved me from ever needing one. He said he did it for the grandkids. It’s the hangout spot in the summer now being only 15 mins from us.
