40/23

Yeah i did.

Radiational cooling is very efficient here with clear skies, low dews, no wind, and cold HP overhead. Nothing resembling UHI here. 29-30 seems doable. Should I cover my Hydrangeas or can they survive this and still bloom?

low of 36

Wouldn't mind bypassing the next 5 months lol

Imo the cold this winter(as well as some recent ones) was more a function of the EPO/WPO and the location of the TPV, which allowed for cross Polar flow and cold Arctic air to penetrate further south. The NAO was favorable at key times this winter, but overall fleeting. Just a matter of lucking into a storm chance at the right time, which is always a bit complicated for our region in a Nina. The AO state is always important for cold and snow chances at our latitude- Historically the number one indicator for above avg snow in DC is -AO. Some of this may be shifting however.

NFL Draft this week! OTAs, then training camp before you know it. Meanwhile the Os will probably still be struggling to stay around 500. Like you said, some of their highly valued/ coveted minor league talents look awfully mediocre in the Bigs. I think Elias labeled Mayo as one of the 'untouchables' for trades lmao.

High of 67 and now 55. Stayed in the NE flow all day here.

After a cloudy and cool morning, its turned into a really nice afternoon here. Sunny and breezy, temp is 66

Perhaps when JH gets healthy and is back on the roster, JJ can play one of those outfield positions. Been pretty inconsistent(mostly awful) so far.

Tongue in cheek. That said he is playing well and can play multiple positions, so they will find ways to get him in the lineup if he keeps hitting like that.

Jeremiah Jackson > Jackson Holliday

The defense is the most concerning to me, but they have enough pieces to figure it out. Not too worried about the hitting at this juncture, and pitching consistency should come with time, esp with guys like Bradish coming off injury. You can see he still has the stuff, but not the control he wants yet. Its a marathon. And so far, all teams in the division have issues.
