CAPE

I have been drinking more whiskey/bourbon lately. Mostly an Old Fashioned. I make em strong, and not very sweet. They bite.

Drinking a Ten Fidy Barrel-aged Imperial stout. A little burned out on IPAs. Looking forward to my trip to the UK in 2 weeks. Some enjoyable and interesting beer drinking will happen there.

Yeah it is pretty typical for our area for mid July. Overall it is really hard to complain about this summer so far. Only the last 2 weeks have even offered more typical elevated dewpoints. Very few (significantly) above normal temp days thus far.

Sometimes yes, but I am in the interior mid/upper shore, so quite often it has little or no impact.

That one too. 12" of 32 deg wet paste here, while the southern part of the county was almost all rain. Some local DC forecasts had all rain here. Easton changed over towards the end. Only event I can recall here where my area was literally on the line for a marginal temp event and it ended up all snow.

Too many. All the ones listed obv. Dec 2009 is top simply because of how early in winter it occurred. 20" snowfalls don't happen often in the lowlands prior to mid Jan. Other than the obvious events, one that stands out is the SB Sunday 1987 storm. Better for eastern areas, but that's where I am. That was actually my first winter here after living in Carroll county for most of my early years- and all I heard for months was it rarely snows over here! Anyway, the forecast was for 6-10, but ended up with well over a foot(16" I think), with plenty of drifting. There was still snow otg from the previous storm, but the 25th one was a much colder, powdery snow. That storm was way more enjoyable than 2016 here.

Most uncomfortable day of the last 3 here. More sun than yesterday. Thankfully there is a bit of a breeze. Super oppressive with the dewpoint though. 91/76

Latest ENSO diagnostic discussion from CPC- https://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/analysis_monitoring/enso_advisory/ensodisc.shtml Latest ENSO Blog. Always a good read. https://www.climate.gov/news-features/blogs/how-do-noaa-scientists-predict-annual-global-temperature-ranking-ahead-time

Currently 79 at 8pm after a high of 87. Low of 74 this morning. 2+ inches last Sat-Sun, and like it never happened lol. Soil is dry and I had to give a few thirsty looking (newer) plants a big drink. Looks like nothing tonight and probably tomorrow. Maybe Sunday.

High of 90 here. Feels awful enough with the humidity.

Probably should be a deb thread in each subforum. might make more work for the mods though lol- moving posts.

At least he is 5 posted. Could you imagine what this thread would be like lol?

@brooklynwx99 nice post though. maybe snowman numbs will glean something from it.

lol. you only pay attention because you want to perpetually deb on winter. that's your schtick. thus you root for an east-based super Nino.

lol i was being facetious. snowman seems to think we track it just because.

What is a tangible/interesting reason for tracking the ENSO state again? I forget.

He parrots twitter geeks who say stuff that *apparently* support his agenda. Then on subsequent posts, he says 'in my opinion'. lol. As if anyone cares.

lol love this The Orioles need to trade for Shohei Ohtani The O’s have punished their fans enough and can reward them with a parade https://deadspin.com/the-baltimore-orioles-need-to-trade-for-shohei-ohtani-1850614365

The Orioles have too much young infield talent between the players who are now on the team and those currently in the farm system. They are in a great position to make a couple deals at the deadline. They really need another starter and could use a mid/late inning reliever.

1.1". Up to 3.1" for July now. A good couple days here.

Ok I get it now. I usually just blow past the gibberish

Getting some beneficial moderate to heavy rain here with the main show. A few rumbles of thunder. Very little wind. No complaints, but not exciting. With all the talk of training and back building, this seems very progressive. Perhaps a different story up north. Just hit an inch. Probably not much more looking at radar.

It's decent since yesterday. Pretty darn dry locally before that. Areas all around generally did very well the past week.

As good as the radar looked with that stuff developing to my south, only 0.2" so far. Came together just to the N and E. All comes down to that line coming across the bay.

Yeah they dug out of their rut in a big way the past week.
