Missing the Rain
June 9th, 2009
Last week I tweeted a few times because it kept raining day after day. Today, when a heavy line of storms moved through the area, we didn’t get a drop. I watched the radar loop and as the storm moved East/South-East, a line opened up parallel to the direction of movement. It was like a “dry channel” of air that sat over top of us. The storm just “split” before it got to us and then merged once it was past.
Its not the first time this has happened. Its happened plenty of times before during summer thunderstorms. I’m not sure if there’s some geographical formation that’s causing storms to “split” around us or what. Maybe its just my close proximity to Three Mile Island…
We have a strange weather reaction in Boiling Springs too (at the pool). We are close to the small ridge, so that may have everything to do with it.
Sometimes we get rained on when Carlisle stays completely dry. Our storms really seem to rip through harder too – but that may be partially due to the lake.
