CCS Weather Thread (Snow Season)

[Urblock]

The amount of rain sucks. Most of the fields are flooded so many farmers will be planting again. Grass is growing very well. Mow twice a week.

Official update for rain at O'Hare in May
1) 8.25” 2019
2) 8.21” 2018
3) 8.20” 2020
I think 2020 will move into 1st by the end of the month.

I work in the wastewater treatment industry and these past 3-4 days are very similar to April 2013, which was a complete shit show (pun intended). Even though wastewater is separate from stormwater, the infrastructure isn't a completely closed system due to cracked and shifted pipes, so we end up treating a ton of rain water in our process.

Our plant typically treats 11MGD (million gallons per day) and during these times our flow rates hit 90+MGD. It's a mess right now.

Would love to have some rain out here.... It hasn't rained much at all this entire spring.

I wish I could help you out. I'd give you about 25 million gallons of rain water, which isn't supposed to be in our sanitary sewer pipes...

I am not sure I need that much for my garden.... However, if we could divide it up I am sure we would take it!

Looks like we got some rain overnight in my suburb. I wonder if it was enough to push us over the top?

I don't recall snow in Chicago in May since 2009 or so. It was only a trace amount too.

Gonna be a wet week

We've had enough rain. Thurs morning it rained so hard that my primary and secondary sump pumps ran nonstop for 5 hours. Did keep the house dry inside.
Farmers had just replanted and were flooded again. A couple of them told me they are going to use crop insurance and wait until next year.

Cristobal has arrived in the western burbs ?

Thunderstorms incoming 2nite.

@Urblock prepare for more rain.
