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…

I’ve decided I’m going to stop relying to the weather forecast for snow. We’ve had two storms in the past week that “showed up late” (almost 12 hours in both cases) and then amounted to nothing. We were supposed to get snow earlier this week and we got ice, sleet, and freezing rain instead. Today we were supposed to get about 6″ of snow. Now that it’s all said and done, we have a dusting, with an icy crust on top. You’d think with all the fancy computers and predicting technology we have now, they could at least be a little more accurate with what they spew out on the news.
