65 and still cloudy here. No complaints though- the warmth is on the doorstep.
-
Well funny you mention that. I was just talking to my dad and that is exactly what he has. He seems very happy with it. For the money, I am leaning in that direction.
-
Ha yeah. I remember my dad had one when I was a little kid living in a row house in Edmonson Heights. I may have pushed it around a few times.
-
6 acres, but most of it is wooded. I probably have a half acre or so that needs to be mowed.
-
I am thinking about going with this one.
-
Damn the new Snappers are just as pricey.
-
Yeah they are pricier but nice mowers. Get what ya pay for. True statement.
-
Time for a new mower. The Briggs & Stratton on my walk behind SP mower just threw a rod lol. Big hole in the side of the block and what looks like a bolt from the connecting rod/cap is laying on the mower deck. Any recommendations on a self propelled push mower? This one is a Snapper and worked fine for 7 years, outside of needing some carb cleaning.

Euro has some showers on Thursday as well, mostly focused N-S from the bay to just west of I-95. Looks like there will be some rain associated with moist flow on the western side of the Atlantic high. Has a round of heavier showers on Friday, and then a line of convection on Saturday with what appears to be the actual front. Pretty juicy run overall. Widespread 1-2" +.
-
There are also suggestions of the front slowing/stalling on guidance, so Saturday and possibly even Sunday could be on the humid side with more rain chances.
-
Friday appears to be the better day for organized (severe?) storms with the front nearing. Looks like a true summer like day, with temps well into the 80s and high dews.
-
I'm just sitting here listening to the Killers and drinking an EVO Lot No 3 IPA. Pretty awesome combo.
-
That is an ideal look to keep the perpetual 90 and humid days at bay. Pretty impressive looking PNA ridge. I will take that look all summer.
-
Yeah I am not talking a heatwave, just typical warmth relative to what we have had for weeks on end. Having 5-6 consecutive days in the 70s/80s does represent a legit change (warming) over the perpetual 60s we have seen, imo. It will also be noticeably humid beginning around midweek. The advertised h5 pattern going forward into early June actually looks great for us- "normal" warmth. No prolonged above normal temps in sight.
-
I really need to get the grass mowed, so hopefully it dries out enough so I can do it later today. Much rather do it on a day like today.
-
Yeah temps and humidity will be on the increase as the week progresses, and looks like a cold frontal passage in the Friday/ Saturday time frame.
-
55 here, headed for mid 60s. Back to cloudy and cool and a NE flow with the backdoor cold front that moved in overnight. Just for a day though, then the legit warming commences.
-
That line of showers that rotated down from the NE weakened as it approached here, but still picked up a few hundredths. My official total for the entire event is 1.80".
-
Other than horse flies, the only flying/biting insects I have are mosquitoes, and after 3 rounds of larvicide of my seasonal wetland over the past 2 months, I have not seen even one. Left untreated, I would have an unbearable swarm by now. Plenty of chiggers around if you venture into the 'wrong' area. The itch from their bites are the worst, and can last a month.
-
I saw a different picture online and that is a really little kid holding it. Still an impressive hunk of hail. Melon sized.
-
Nice summer day. Having a blast using my Elucto electrocution swatter to slam carpenter bees. They are active today. Gotten about 10 so far. It really is quite satisfying, this game.

2019 Mid Atlantic Lawn, Garden, Pool, etc. Thread
CAPE replied to Eskimo Joe's topic in Mid Atlantic
I was out back checking on the mole activity and the plants after all the rain. This rose bush has gone bonkers the last week or so. I don't do much other than throw down some rose tone. Didn't even cut this one back, as the deer usually chew them down during the winter. They didn't touch this one though. -
This event way over-performed in this area. Most guidance 48 hours ago suggested around a half to as much as three quarters of an inch through today. Some NAM runs had a quarter inch or less. My forecast for overnight into this AM was 40% chance of showers, a tenth of an inch or less.
-
The fairly large area of heavy rain/storms that developed early this morning was totally unexpected, by me, and forecasters apparently. Some of the mesos hinted at it, but not until late. The 6z 3k NAM showed a well defined vorticity spoke developing and rotating through on the SE side of the upper low as it approached the bay. This likely initiated the strong lift, and we already had a pretty juicy, somewhat unstable air mass in place.
