DC should have enough to melt 2 ft or more and still have a reserve.

I fear, Good Sir, that you are extremely optimistic!  ;D

BTW, the forcast for this area just north of Philly is now 12-18". Since 2-3" has everyone freaking out this should get really amusing!

I couldn't resist. This is actually our peak riding season. I can't hardly stand riding here from June through September. It's either blistering hot or raining sideways here through the summer...

Here in NE WI the snowmobile trails have not opened this winter and the same last year. Only had one storm just after Christmas and we had all grass before that one. Everything is going south. Sold my sleds a few years ago so I am OK with it. Feel bad for the guys that want to get out on the trails. They have to go north and into UP MI to find decent trails.

Yes, I remember that from when I first was in practice down in Tallahassee. Humidity so high you didn't breathe the air, you chewed it and running air-cond. 10 months of the year. 3 PM rain you could practically set your watch by. Not fun!

stationed there for 3 plus years and you sure are right about the 3 o'clock rain.  Rain for 15 minutes, stop, then the steam rising would make it seem hotter that it was before it rained.  But the year round riding sure was nice...larry
