RE: HYB: more rebloom

Griff,

Good thing you posted back. I wasn't looking forward to going through my
deleted items to find your post <g>. On the TV weather last night
(Channel 4 in DC), the weather guy said we were 8.5" ABOVE normal for
the year so far. I don't know where you got your numbers from, but, you
may have misread them.

If that storm is the one I'm thinking of, were we got the rain in a
couple of hours, man, it took me forever to get home. No matter which
way I turned, I ran into road closings because the cricks were
overflowing their banks, and flossing the roads, plus a lot of traffic
lights were knocked out as well, and not enough cops to direct at all
the intersections that really needed them. I ended up taking the, what I
am now calling it, Great Circle Route from Tysons Corner to Sterling,
going through Vienna and around to Reston and finally through Herndon to
Sterling.

Steve  --  Thanks for the information and the resource.  I've stored it
in
my folders.  Twenty inches, year-to-date, sounds a lot more credible
than
the other figure.  We received 3 inches in just one storm a few weeks
go.  --  Grif
