7 a.m. Report: Silver Lake Stromwartch11!!1

December 15, 2008 at 7:15 am in Weather

Utilizing the entirely scientific method involving an initially bone dry backyard waterbowl and an archaic instrument from my days as a jernoleest back before the internest and when Pagemaker rooled the day, I am more excited than necessary to report that my Silver Lake backyard has received just a hair shy of 7.5 picas (roughly 1.125 inches) of percepitation in the period beginning at 9:34 p.m. last night when the first drops commenced their descent to 7 a.m. this morning, which is redundant.

Next scheduled report: 7 p.m. this evening, which is again redundant.

The trusty rain bucket here measures nearly 3″ of wet stuff with the rain only now tapering off.
