Sisco Posted July 15, 2025 Report Posted July 15, 2025 We are in the middle of a torrential downpour/flash flood warning. 4 inches of rain so far and another 3 to 4 inches projected, followed by a 30 mph NE wind dropping the temperature to 57 F. Nasty!
unforgiven Posted July 20, 2025 Report Posted July 20, 2025 Had to cancel Virginia beach vacation for the 3rd time because of rain. Didn't want to spend it stuck in the room.a
shepp Posted August 19, 2025 Report Posted August 19, 2025 Brings the month of August to 14+ inches, pepper gardens loving it, tomatoes hate it
Jeff300 Posted August 24, 2025 Report Posted August 24, 2025 Temp is coming back up and should hit low 90’s for a few days. Have been keeping an eye on the fire burning east of us about 12 or so mile from the house, we are just outside the yellow zone west of 95.
shepp Posted November 26, 2025 Report Posted November 26, 2025 @Sisco I hope you’ve battened down the hatches and headed south for the winter. I see y’all have a blizzard warning!
shepp Posted November 29, 2025 Report Posted November 29, 2025 Left for western TN wed morning battled 40-50mph cross winds thru all of IL, just about tore the tundra and me apart! it was beautiful down there, the locals were cold lol cut the trip short due to a winter storm warning for central IL north, got home last night at 10pm, it started snowing some time after midnight. it’s not super cold high 20’s but it’s been coming down steady all day. I just got in from plowing beacuse it’s wet and heavy probably have 3-4” so far
Madhouse Posted November 29, 2025 Report Posted November 29, 2025 I miss the snow Shepp. I was sweating today putting up Christmas decorations. It's just wrong.

I have a love hate relationship with it lol. I put all mine up last weekend knowing this was probably coming, but didn’t plug them in till last night lol
BrianK Posted November 30, 2025 Author Report Posted November 30, 2025 Cold, windy, and raw the past few days. Not at all enjoyable outside.
BrianK Posted November 30, 2025 Author Report Posted November 30, 2025 Our first snow of the season is expected starting some time today, none yet and I hope that continues through tomorrow. My kind of snowstorm! I like the other type that comes down in liquid form too. Just as long as I don't need to plow it.

BrianK Posted November 30, 2025 Author Report Posted November 30, 2025 Yeah, that's more than I want if I have a choice. I know that I don't. I think it's related to your storm but in a very muted form. For storms coming from the west the mountains of VT, NH, and the mountains of Maine generally get more than we do due to the altitude. They get dumped on. By the time it gets to us in the foothills there is reduced accumulation. Generally. Hopefully for this one too. That doesn't hold true for northeasters that come up the Atlantic coast. Sort of "Lake Effect" but with the ocean instead of a lake. Last I heard we were predicted to get 1-3". For me that's not plowable. I just take the truck and pack it down. As long as it doesn't melt it gives me a smooth surface for plowing my gravel driveway from then on. Depending on the weather I keep my plow feet a few inches down (raises the plow) to keep the snow and ice layer maintained. If it stays cold I raise them to lower the plow. Decades ago I loved the cold and ice and snow. But that all changed with age. It was nothing for me to go snowshoeing and get really close to moose yarded up in my forest, but I haven't done that in years. I couldn't for years. Now I can but I have no interest. In the time it took me to write this the snow has stopped after giving us a dusting. No doubt it'll start again. I hope not but this is typical of our first storms. Fingers crossed.
Rsquared Posted November 30, 2025 Report Posted November 30, 2025 Just cold and rainy here in the 'hood' Maryland suburbs of DC. Around 30 outside but nothing really freezing over yet. It was about the same when I left the Martinsburg (West Virginia) house early this morning.
BrianK Posted December 1, 2025 Author Report Posted December 1, 2025 I doubt that we even got an inch of snow. Then the temp' came up and it started raining. It's pretty much all gone now. The deck had a trace of slush hours ago but even that's gone and the deck is just wet. I hate this weather; the cold and raw. I'd much rather have -20. Last I looked it was approx' 38 degrees and by the morning it's predicted to be in the low 40s.
BrianK Posted December 1, 2025 Author Report Posted December 1, 2025 The snow that we got yesterday was NOT the storm that hit Shepp. That storm is coming in for tomorrow. The forecast is for 6-8" so it looks like I'm putting the plow on the truck. I'd rather have it on and not need it than need it and have to put it on in the snow.
Magwa Posted December 2, 2025 Report Posted December 2, 2025 snowing here as well......winter is here
Armed Eye Doc Posted December 2, 2025 Report Posted December 2, 2025 It was 30°F and damp this morning. Windows were frosted this morning.
BrianK Posted December 3, 2025 Author Report Posted December 3, 2025 It began snowing at 0740 and it's still technically snowing (midnight). But it could snow like this for 10 years and we wouldn't get an inch of accumulation. My computer tells me it'll do this until 0200. Currently we have at most 4" on the ground. It was supposed to intensify and never did. YAY! I love it when the forecasters are wrong in my favor.
BrianK Posted December 4, 2025 Author Report Posted December 4, 2025 Early tomorrow I'll finish moving the snow, then in the afternoon Arctic air is coming in. Brrrr!
Sisco Posted December 4, 2025 Report Posted December 4, 2025 Got 15 inches last week the day before Thanksgivjng and another 2 inches Sunday. Enough for a while.
BrianK Posted December 5, 2025 Author Report Posted December 5, 2025 Woke up to 0 degrees this AM and clear skies. But that was all expected since Arctic air was on the way. It's here. Warm up tomorrow, then back into the deep freeze.
