CAPE

Severe drought for pretty much all of MD except for the western highlands.

You mean its always the same?

A tenth here last night. Like a broken record. Looks like another tenth possible this weekend lol. Getting ridiculous.

Up there the ENSO state doesn't matter so much. It snows regardless. Down at our latitude in the low elevation areas we need around a hundred elements to come together at precisely the right time for it to snow. And some cows have to fart or something.

Seems tonight was always going to be the 'main show', such that it is. Maybe a quarter inch instead of a few hundredths.

One is often better than many.

After mine burns to hell this summer I will reseed in November and by early January it should be looking pretty lush.

If we get a period of HL blocking, in a strong Nino a big winter storm is still possible-even the lowlands. So ofc the western highlands could get 'crushed'. They typically get impressive snow regardless of the overall pattern, unless cold air ingress from Canada is completely shut off.

El Nino is trending on the X. Lots of posts like this. We are doomed!!

80 here and windy, dry AF and Oak tree sperm flying all over the place. Those pollen strings are plied up on the roof. I keep the deck blown off. It's lessening compared to last week, but damn do we need some rain. Drinking a Margarita and trying to motivate myself to go out and water the poor plants.

Haven't been there yet. Hope to go on Sunday. Caroline's, which is an upscale restaurant in Denton, has a food truck there on weekends. Looking forward to getting some foodies in addition to the beer.

I need to find that. You would think around here more of their beers would be readily available, but mostly all I can find is the Nanticoke Nectar, which is mediocre to ok.

Been watering for a couple weeks. Going out in a few mins to turn on the sprinkler. Looks like another tenth or so from mother nature the next few days.

I'll finish this bourbon then headed out to turn on the sprinkler.

lol another tenth or so incoming through Friday. Repeating pattern with the guidance- juices up D4-5 then deteriorates to paltry useless rain that wets the top hundredth of soil.
