CAPE

HL blocking is extinct in winter until proven otherwise.

Yup. Stay at home order ends Friday. Up to local jurisdictions from that point. Pretty much what i expected.

Mount Holly's thoughts on early next week... By Sunday, high pressure builds offshore of New England, then the front to our south will begin returning northward as an area of low pressure moves out of the Great Lakes and toward the Mid Atlantic. However, the models diverge in how they handle the low. Models differ in how fast they bring the low into the area and how fast the low exits. The GFS brings it in and exits it faster, while the the ECMWF is slower. As the low pressure and associated frontal boundaries affect the area, an extended period of rainfall can be expected. So there will be a chance of rain from at least Sunday, through Monday night, but the chance of rain could last into through Tuesday night.

67 but quite warm in the sun. I was sweating just now mowing my lawn. Its moderating..

Drinking a 120. I did cross into Talbot county to get it though!

This is the one- Eastern Shore Brewing 'Strawberry Shakedown'. Its a DIPA.

38 here this morning. Probably the last time I see 30s for a long while.

I tried an IPA a while back that was brewed with strawberries, and it was damn good. Can't recall the name off the top of my head. I need to find it again.

Always drink plenty of water. Hydration is way good. Other than morning coffee, and beer/booze, that's all I drink.

Stop at Terrapin Park right near the Bay bridge in Stevensville. You can also stop at the Winery(liquor store), which has a great selection of craft beers to build your own 6 pack, including the DFH high gravity stuff. They are in the Red Apple Plaza on the end towards Safeway.

That's all me by the sounds of it. With any luck I will be out that way sometime this summer.

Yeah that was me, but I said where the only months it "cant snow" are the actual summer months. I more had the the Canaan area in mind. There are lots of places like that out west for sure, but yes most are on the pricey side, otherwise you are literally in the middle of nowhere lol.

Burley Oak is great. Not tried their sours though, as I am not a big fan in general. I need to give that genre more of a try I guess. Maybe the sour/sweet balance would be more palatable to me.

Even tho we almost always over perform on heat, I will take the under for now. 78-82 looks reasonable, with maybe a day of mid 80s. This excludes DCA ofc, which may very well be 90+ for the entire period.

Never any hand wringing over heat in this region. It will arrive, and it will be perpetual.

34 this morning(just after midnight), 35 yesterday morning. Didn't have to cover any of the tender plants.

Happy Mother's day to all the moms here. Gorgeous day. Enjoy!

Terrapin Park in Stevensville is one of my local favorites. Its literally just across the bay bridge. Lots of trails and you can walk along the beach. I go there often. Great place to pick up driftwood, which I kinda collect. I have not been since the COVID restrictions, so you might want to check if you decide to go.

Still looks like a stretch of somewhat above normal temps will arrive by the end of the week. Several days with highs in the upper 70s to low 80s looks likely.

Low of 34. 37 now as the sun comes up. The slow warming trend has commenced.

High was 48 here today after a low of 35. 46 now and windy.

Cherish it. It will probably be 90 in a week or so. We are lucky to get through half of May without our usual subtropical climate dominating.

Didn't take any before shots, but there was no view beyond the canopy of green in the foreground- lots of undergrowth and brier growing up numerous small trees. Took it all out.

Nice. Similar to my view from where I sit in the loft, except I have a stone fireplace in the center, it's not snowing, and my trees are green, lol.

47 here. Enjoying this late Feb day.
