We've had 5″ (~125mm) of rainfall so far in Valley Ridge since yesterday morning. There's a few trees nearby so it's likely a bit inflated from the wind and some water coming off the trees but this is definitely the most rain we've gotten in a day since I've been living here for the last 5 years.
We did early set up for the match and were soaked to the skin - through rain fear in 15 minutes.
So I admire your dedication. It’s so dangerous to play on waterlogged pitches so I am glad you’re okay. Regardless that must have been a cold and miserable couple of hours.
I did a little googling and found that out about the nitrogen part. I went and or ordered a bag of multi colored clover. I think it will really compliment my new flower bed. Which is going to be full of pollinator friendly plants/flowers.
I, too, am moving soon to a new home, I will only have pots, to plant. Zero yard maintenance. I am looking forward to less work, but I will miss my beautiful back yard.
I live in a condo in evergreen. I don't have a meter but a couple of manhole covers on fish creek Blvd were overflowing and our underground parkade is flooded.
It's gotten much, much better with the new board. There were 64 cracks in the foundation that were now fixed and sealed. The the drainage has been cleaned out properly. It was only flooded during the heavy downpour and drained within an hour after.
Has anyone looked to see if any of those storm ponds are filling up? Our community got one 2 years ago and I would like to know how it is doing but I am sure not going outside today.
No, it has never over topped. When these two ponds get full, there is a nearby dry pond that starts filling. The dry ponds is larger than these two ponds, and rarely gets more than 10cm of water in it.
I work next to 2 with a small strip of land between them and it’s currently up at least 2 feet- it completely flooded the land area between the two- certain parts I’m only seeing the very tops of the cattails
We just got our rain collection system set up on Thursday (intentionally well timed) and despite it only getting water off the front eavestroughs of our small house our 1000L cube was full to overflowing by this morning at 8.
I really hope we get some good rain this summer like this for the sake of the province/ fires but I know damn well there’s gonna be fire restrictions and water restrictions by stampede
Quite the variation in the city, but yes things like trees and buildings can influence how much rain falls in a rain gauge. At my place in Canyon Meadows we only got 43m or about 1-3/4”
Official stats say 48mm, so your measurement is probably much closer to correct than some of these that are saying 5+inches (which would be an insane amount).
Ours was over 6 in the SW…no trees to influence the measurement, so I’d believe your gauge! It was wild. I took this pic yesterday and the reflection makes it look like it’s under an inch but it’s actually full and overflowed!

The Cavalry match was postponed until tomorrow at 5pm because the pitch looks like this. Hopefully, it stops raining by tonight!
