Ended up just shy of an inch yesterday — 0.99". At 0.27" and counting for today. 46.9˚F.

0.97" since midnight, 1.05" storm total IMBY.

50˚F and up to 0.80" since midnight and 0.88" storm total.

Rain and 47˚F. 0.51" for the day, 0.59" storm total.

Life comes at you fast sometimes.

“…never sell the app…” Otherwise known as bitching and moaning. “…will appeal that bill to be overturned” And when they lose their case?
