August Helped A Lot

Posted by David-Shenandoah Valley of VA on September 2, 2024, 4:06 pm, in reply to "Rain"

Tropical Storm Debby helped us out a lot. It brought 5 inches of rain. We had a couple of decent rains early in the month before that.

But even after that, they were still saying we were in a moderate drought situation. The problem was 2023 was well below average in precipitation. We were already in a deficit situation before this summer. So, after Debby, they were saying we needed to replenish our water reserves.

Then came the last week of August. A rather nasty storm came through Thursday in the late afternoon and early evening that dumped around 2.5 inches. A storm that moved through Saturday afternoon brought about 1.5 inches more. So, according to a local weather station Website, we got around 11 inches in August. Even with all of that, we still may be considered in a deficit situation because of last year.
