CAPE

57 here currently after a high of 68. Perfect day imo. The wind is a nitpick. Felt great outside.

Yeah I have plenty of moss. Where it grows, I leave it, but weeds grow through it. One side of my back yard(the area over the septic drain field) gets a lot of sun in the summer, and it wont grow there.

That's exactly where I got the wildflower seed mix I planted in the Spring. Great website. For the rest of the back garden area, I want a clover field lawn with wildflowers mixed in. I will probably just buy white clover seeds and the flower seeds from American meadows and mix it in. That link in my other post was for the picture- showing the look I want(minus the grass).

Back in early Spring I planted a bunch of native wildflower seeds at the back part of the yard near the edge of the woods. Lots of growth there now and starting to see beginnings of some blooms. I was thinking of making most of my back yard clover + wildflowers. Tired of dealing with the grass that never survives the Summer and constant reseeding process. White clover naturally takes over in those areas anyway, so why not just plant the stuff. Low maintenance drought tolerant ground cover. Something like this from The Vermont Wildflower Farm, although this seed mix also has some grass mixed in- https://www.vermontwildflowerfarm.com/products/magic-carpet-mix?variant=46441269920051&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=209329693&gbraid=0AAAAAD-xHrEgHFgrwptzJzqv-zz5ffLaA&gclid=CjwKCAjw3MXBBhAzEiwA0vLXQQSxPeRduIIZfvkIVk0P13QBd_cZ8nhsqIvaqhVr8ceckp02xKXd2hoCHWIQAvD_BwE

I have a wild turkey who has become a regular visitor, eating the bird seed that falls from the feeder onto the ground. Makes a mess of the mulch though. They also will eat flowers, so I have been chasing it away lately. It's hard enough dealing with the deer, but Irish Spring seems to do it for the most part.

There is some evidence that atmospheric pressure gradients are becoming stronger, but I will decline to expound on that in this thread for obvious reasons.

He was a good assistant GM for the Astros, where his focus was scouting and player development at the minor league level. Unfortunately he seems to think that is the sole purpose of an actual GM as well. He is a failure.

Sipping on a Limited Release 120 min IPA to start the long weekend. Glorious weather the next few days. Probably wont have this again until early October lol.

Well, that tends to happen this time of year with the long days and plants/trees all active. And ofc the perpetual wind.

As of the latest update(yesterday) a small area in north central MD- much of Baltimore county and parts of Carroll and Harford- are still in a severe drought. Areas surrounding that are Moderate. Better further east- my yard is on the edge of abnormally dry, and nothing points S and E from there. But yeah there has been marked improvement in the past couple weeks. Not sure why he wouldn't be discussing that rather than being a hypester.

Caught the edge of another one. One crack of thunder and a couple minutes of rain. Pushed the total just over an inch.

Mostly missed the heavier showers today, but picked up a little here and there. Looks like 0.93" will be the grand total.

This batch of rain saved the day here. Made the forecast respectable. 0.82".

Yes that worked out pretty well. 0.73" here now. Steady moderate rain.

Raining nicely here now. Have the windows open listening to it. Very relaxing(with a bourbon). up to 0.42"

Sugano! The one and only solid acquisition in the offseason. Credit given for that. Dude has an amazing splitter. They better extend him. The only legit starter they have right now lol.

Typical Miller B MA screw job? A decent piece of vorticity rotating through overnight into the morning hours should bring some precip back into the area and induce a new coastal low. Radar lighting up to the west.

Same here. Heavy drizzle! Hasn't even added a hundredth to the meager total lol.

Its been in the 50s all day here. Currently 55.

Looks like another delayed-denied underachiever. After this first wimpy batch moves through, it's mostly hit or miss scattered showers through tomorrow. 0.21"

Just wait for that downsloping blowtorch in another month or so. Back to desert for you.

Maybe slightly from a few days ago. Still looks like a general inch or so for much of the region with more in the higher terrain to the west, and any places that happen to get under some convection tomorrow.

If you are looking for another site in Talbot county, the school where I work might be a possibility. Located west of Easton along the Miles River on the way to St Michaels.

Orioles Only 2 months until NFL training camp begins!

They managed to score 6 runs today. Progress!
