@Ginx snewx Do you have any recommendations on dog exercises to strengthen their lower back? Back in December, I was outside playing with the dog and he was chasing the ball. All of a sudden he let out a series of yelps and tumbled over. My initial thought was he re-injured his leg because he was favoring his leg. Before my gf and I met, he had injured himself jumping the fence and a few months after dating he had to get ACL surgery I think on his back right leg and this time it was his back left leg. We were nervous because they told us there is a good chance he will injure the other one at some point. Anyways, we got him into an emergency vet and after doing some tests and checking him out, they realized he may have actually done something to his lower back (when they did some light pressing on his spine he reacted towards his lower spine and when they did a paw flip thing, he didn't really react when they put his back left paw backwards...it just kind of flopped). They told us they believe he could have had a minor stroke in his back but didn't think there was anything serious. I was nervous about something more serious so shelled out $3,500 for an MRI, which thankfully showed nothing serious. They expected him to fully recover. Anyways, probably within a few weeks we were back to playing. I think it was last Friday or Friday before, he seemed to be in some pain which was the first time since the injury. You can tell though its still on the weak side. Do you know of anything we can try to maybe strengthen the lower back?

Looks like low clouds primarily on the backend of the meh weather today. No middle/high. I’m hopeful over the night we’ll get some dissipation and breaks!

I'm not trying to be contrarian here but it's pretty clear the GFS' QPF have been willfully overly prodigious at these longer termed aggregate sums. I'm not sure if that is true among all guidance; even if so, I suspect the GFS is the cult leader. It's certainly the Osama Bin Laden against seasonal change to warm season, in general... So in doing so, it's gotta consummately over amplify mechanism that rain, while conjuring up warm canceling synoptics etc. Re the former aspect... the GFS is always unbalanced with every wave space relative to all scales - I've noticed. speaking to the general audience here. It's not a hugely observable aspect but at a tedious, yet crucial scale, the model has more mass ending up in trough spatial dimensions, than it does in the coupled ridge. Not sure how it gets to that distribution, but I suspect it is because it's mass relay is too fast - wind speeds; which comes back to lowering heights too aggressively ( again ... small but noticeable to autistic nerds LOL ) in its physical processing.

Don't grunion run shame me

Some actual light rain inside the beltway in silver spring now, after a misty morning.

Thanks for making the thread! Very interested in seeing the aurora somewhat locally. Became a bucket list item after a few great local chasers caught them in the Blue Ridge last year. Really bummed by clouds tonight. Hoping for a miracle - don’t want to drive super far north and even then odds don’t look fantastic.

0.30" of rain here in East Nantmeal since yesterday with 0.17" since midnight. Today will be unseasonable chilly and wet day with temps in some higher spots remaining in the 40's. A brief break tomorrow with some sun before rain returns late at night into Sunday. One more nice day on Monday before showers return for much of the remainder of the week. Chester County daily records for today: High 94 degrees at Coatesville 1SW (1896) / Record low 27 degrees at Coatesville 1SW and Devault 1W (1966) / Rain 1.76" at Coatesville 2W (1990)

big CMEs on the way. Looks like we’ll have varying amounts of cloud cover this weekend, mostly lower tonight but perhaps more layered tomorrow, maybe we can catch some auroras if there are breaks. Tonight seems like the more likely time to see them (late, after midnight), but for such a strong storm and with multiple CMEs approaching in a complex manner, it could be a long run type of event.

Weird that you know two people named Gill?

I woke up with gills.

Boo Texas state (I’m a UTSA alumni)

The Pizza Lady in Pawcatuck makes soupy sausage and meatball pizza to die for. They also make a cold no cheese pizza that is out of this world. Growing up the actual Pizza Lady delivered cold pizza folded in half wrapped in brown paper. A dollar 25 for a whole. She made it in earthen ovens in her back yard. Her Grandson, a classmate of mine, took her recipes and opened The Pizza Lady. He retired this year. Good stuff Ant

in 41 days we will start to lose sunlight...

low dews on the gfs

christmas should be illegal

might have to bring in some plants the next few nights .. with enough clearing could be close to frost

Then you'll be hearing about metsfan's swamp ass issues

True, Costco will have that out in a few weeks

and about half that until we see xmas trees and decorations in the stores...LOL

228 more days....

Going to be another wet week. Sent from my SM-G998U using Tapatalk

I mean I'm looking at the NAM FOUS grid over BOS with - 2 to -4 C at 800 mb level for 48 straight hours on a May 10 model cycle. If we did ever plumb a sufficiently intense UVM core through that profile, it would bring fatties to the 1200' surfaces, and splashing cat paws to 800 ( sorry warm enthusiasts - don't blame the facts ) Luckily those projections from the GFS 5 days ago don't look to be worth a shit, else we'd really be entertaining at least 1200' blue QPF paint. On May 10-13th. In a May, yet again .. But, seein as we are not getting any kind of dynamic system capable of doing that, the May sun will probably make the lower levels oblivious to that 'what if' plausibility. I also wonder if there's some convective instability with that cold mid level.

Hoping for some clear skies late tonight or very early AM Saturday. Would love to glimpse aurora.
