Good day, Mr. Roylance,
Is there a site which shows the rainfall or snowfall in the Randallstown-Pikesville area? I know the Scotts Level Stream behind my house was higher than it's been in a long time, easily a few decades. I was worried water would reach my back yard, which only happened during Agnes (David reached near the top of the hill separating yard from woods.
Thank you.
FR REPLIES: You can try the CoCoRaHS Network. Just enter the date you need, click on "Get Reports" and then scroll down to the community you're looking for. It's unofficial, but these observers are pretty conscientious. http://bit.ly/ctyfwN

Frank thanks for this newsbit! We had 6+ inches over the whole week near Rockville according to the local weatherbug station. I remember in June 2006 we had another tropical storm with nine inches! Remember when Lake Frank almost burst it's dam?
FR REPLIES: There's a Lake Frank? Why wasn't I told?
