CAPE

Back from Rehoboth just before all the Running Festival folks flood the town. Tried the new DFH 120 on draft. If you like massive hops start to finish this is the one for you. I was a bit disappointed overall, and especially coming off last years edition, which had the complexity associated with the huge/sweet malty backbone this beer is known for, plus the dry hopping for the first time that gave it a nice finish. The intense hoppiness in the new edition overwhelms the characteristic malty backbone too much imo. That said give it a try- true hopheads might love it. What I have always loved about it though, is the complexity and the balance.

Low of 27. Currently 28.

low of 30

Nice stretch of weather until early next week when we ridge out and go back to low to mid 80s.

Or a day later. Freeze watch in effect for tomorrow night here. Forecast low of 29 here tonight and 31 tomorrow night/Thursday morning.

Freeze watch in effect for most of the region

0.58" Most moisture here since the snow melted into the soil.

Exactly a half inch here too, and still a steady light to moderate rain falling. Should end in the next hour. Much needed.

Long season, but the Orioles completely suck right now.

Same here on all 3- saw a big black snake slithering across the grass near the firepit. Looked like around 6 ft.

82/65 This would be a nice day in late July. In early April, no thanks. Wasp fest happening out there. Looking forward to the Tuesday night freeze.

Our summers are basically now 7 months- AMJJASO.. and sometimes into N. We are kind of the inversion of a hyper-continental climate, where Spring and Fall are brief to almost non existent, but instead of long cold winters we get seemingly never-ending summer.

Yeah if it makes it into the 70s here today its probably going to be towards the end of the day and brief.

46 now with the heat on. Low 80s yesterday with AC on. AC might be back on tomorrow lol. BDCFs are a thing this time of year with HP to the NE. Looking forward to next week, which looks Fall-like with low temps around freezing possible a couple nights. I will be in Rehoboth mid next week. Forecast is sunny with temps in the 50s. Perfect.

Its so far out, but it is a pretty good look at this juncture(and it will obv adjust with time)

Looks like a basin wide Nino

Bring the 50s with lows in 30s next week and fair weather. Early Spring should feel more like Fall. Too soon for 80s.

Looks chilly mid-late next week. Temps near/below freezing Thursday AM?

83

Drinking a voddy tonic, watching the Orioles(lose) and waiting to watch this. I'll take 2 songs for free, Live.

Needed rain. Been dry AF here.

Warm is gonna win in this pattern, other than any rainy periods. Upper 70s- low 80s. Too warm too early for my liking. Why cant we just do 'normal' in early Spring sometimes lol. Right to late May/Early June weather. Fuck that shit.

Low of 26 with frost. It will probably be 8 months until we are this cold again.

Climo snowfall varies quite a bit across our region as you know. 20 inches here is a pretty good winter, but not so much for places N&W. That said we probably all should have more "reasonable" (lower) climo standards for what qualifies as a good winter.
