  1. Was outside mowing. What a perfect day for yard work. Upper 60s and breezy- no sweat in full sun. Took a couple photos. Probably at peak yard now. If you look close enough you can see the stocking filled with Irish Spring hanging above the rose bush off to the left.
  2. Deer were eating some of my flowers, including the roses. I have not had a major issue over the years considering there are always a bunch of deer around. The few times I have, I chop up some Irish Spring bar soap, place it in some old stockings, and hang it over the plants. Seems to have worked again lol. That fragrance is so strong and awful smelling- no wonder they don't like it. No idea how people can use that crap. I was sneezing and felt nauseous just cutting it up.
  3. Looks like an absolutely perfect day for it. And to end the streak.
  4. My grass area is still thriving, along with the clover and whatever else grows out there. Usually starts to go downhill by mid June. I have been loosely following the fertilizing routine recommended by Jonathan Green. I just put down the summer stuff before the rain. See if it makes a difference. I think the problem here is a combo of not getting deep enough roots, very well drained soil, and the trees robbing moisture/nutrients once they become fully active.
  5. Os might flirt with the 1988 streak.
  6. A respectable warm/hot period appears to be setting up beginning next weekend. Pretty strong WA high builds and looks to hang around for a while on the mean. Probably a solid stretch of temps 85-90 with dews on the high side. The latter part of this week still looks interesting with several chances of storms from late Wed - Friday along a slow moving front. Pretty impressive fetch of moisture between the trough moving in from the west and the high building over the Atlantic.
  7. 53 here. Warmest its been all day.
  8. Yeah good for yanking weeds too. I might go do that. Grass needs mowing though, and some other projects I want to get done are a no go when everything is saturated. Hopefully things dry out quickly later tonight and we wake up to sun tomorrow morning. Not sure how rapidly it clears out for eastern areas though.
  9. This will all be a distant memory soon enough. Ahh yes...
  10. You miss days like these. Admit it.
  11. Interesting look, with HP off the coast and that energy dropping in- should get some juice up here with the SW flow. Could be some decent storms Thursday into Friday.
  12. It is pretty shit. Needed the rain, but damn. Can't do a thing outside in this.
  13. Despite all the recent dryness here, looks like my yard will finish right around average for May rainfall. At 3.95" currently. I believe 4.2" is avg.
  14. Looks like the rain will be much more scattered and generally light after this morning, other than right near/along the coast. That last heavier batch of rain *should* miss most places inland. Sorry beach goers. Tomorrow looks decent.
  15. 48 and rainy. Event total up to 2.45"
  16. Looks like a trend towards warm and quite humid mid to late week, with some thunderstorm chances Thu-Fri, then more heat- maybe 90 next weekend with an amplifying upper ridge building in.
  17. Mt Holly AFD snippet- Another shot of moderate to heavy rainfall is likely in parts of eastern Maryland, Delaware and southern New Jersey into this evening as a short wave rotates around the mid level low. Otherwise, periods of light rain are anticipated in our region into Sunday. Additional rainfall from tonight into Sunday is forecast to total generally from one quarter to three quarters of an inch. Can't wait.
  18. "Normal" would be nice for a change.
  19. I love rain. Excessive amounts of it. And beer too.
  20. What a crappy day lol. Eh, it's time.
  21. Just hit the 2" mark. I hope whatever comes later is light or misses east. I'm good.
  22. That was fun. A half inch in 20 mins and now up to 1.66". Some heavy cells are sort of training along the NW edge of the precip shield.
  23. Absolutely pouring here now. Tropical deluge at 50 degrees lol. Thought I would be in a lull by now.
  24. Temp down to 50. Soaking rain currently. 1.15" Ready for a break. Mesos showing another inch or so here.
