  1. Radar suddenly lit up all around the DC area. It's been a strobe light here with loud thunder and rain since it got dark. Looks like a loud night ahead. I love these kind of summer nights.
  2. Perfect evening for my gardens. No severe weather and a nice steady soaking rain. So far I've had .63 and it's steadily raining.
  3. Can't wait for our 33 and rain for days on end this winter. 78 but not as bad as yesterday morning.
  4. This summer has made up for the years of every summer storm missing me to the north by 5 miles. It's like a steamy jungle out near my corn stands. My garden is happy about the nearly .60" that fell just in my yard. Back up to 94. DP is at least 80 if I had to guess. Maybe 82-83 about 45 minutes ago next to corn stand.
  5. Did it rain? Went in a took a nap around 2:30 with a clear radar. Got up at 4 and noticed windows fogged up. Went outside and noticed about a half in of rain in bucket and still a clear radar. Weird
  6. I gave up the beer and just smoke the "something" now lol. Only 84 here with a decent breeze. Not looking forward to the garden stressing temps starting tomorrow. It will help my sweet corn get sweeter.
  7. The DC heat streak is totally weak. It has actually been pretty nice so far this summer. That may change next week.
  8. More then that. Skeeters are massive and fungal issues are out of control in the garden. I've got corn falling over due to soil becoming mud and rotting tomato plants. It's something EVERY season.
  9. We've been getting hammered all summer. My area has had a pretty incredible amount of rain in the past month. I picked up 3" yesterday and overnight.
  10. Looks like another 4" training storm event for AACO. It's been pretty incredibly wet in my local area for the past month.
  11. Heavy tropical rain and lightning here at the moment. Hopefully it stays just heavy rain. I don't need any strong winds right now.
  12. Models showing a non winter? That's fantastic! Big winter incoming.
  13. Best storm I've seen in a couple years while in Severna Park. It was about 3 when I noticed it building to my NNE. It moved south along the bay breeze boundary. It was really cool (because my gardens weren't being affected) Lots of lightning strikes, hail, super heavy rain and wind. The hail was impressive. It blasted holes in some zucchini plants i saw. Glad it didn't hit my garden.
  14. Hey, it rained last night. Looks like about .35" in the bucket. The garden should be happy with that.
  15. The haves and have nots is pretty amazing around here. I was out near Federalsburg today and it was dry as a bone. Corn was all curled. Got back to the jungle (my mini farm) just in time to get swamped by another storm. I got a little over a inch today. That's about 7.25" in 7 days. My corn is head high and starting to tassel. No curls here.
  16. I've had over 6" of rain since Saturday. No sprinkler here for a while.
  17. Nothing here yesterday but some distance thunder a couple wind gust from outflow and light shower. After 4" on Saturday I'm good with drying out for a few days.
  18. Got home from work and was surprised to see just shy of 4" in my bucket. From radar I was estimating I got between 2.5-3". I was worried about my corn lodging (falling over) with that much water in soil alone with the wind i hear we also had. Everything is fine thankfully. With growing crops it's surviving from storm to storm.
  19. Radar starting to light up to the SW. Hopefully we can get some storms around here today.
  20. Medical marijuana works wonders on my chronic stomach issues. A couple puffs and 30 minutes later I'm ready to eat.
  21. That's about all I got here also. At least I didn't have to run the sprinklers for one evening. Edit: just checked the rain bucket. Looks like little bit over half inch. Not bad.
  22. Was it supposed to rain? HRR hardly had anything. I'll be running sprinklers this evening because it doesn't look like much rain any time soon.
  23. I guess my sprinklers won't get a break next week after all. That little bit of rain i got yesterday didn't do much. Getting pretty dry here again.
  24. Looks like some scattered showers on radar this morning. Glad I ran the sprinklers on my corn last night. Only ended up with .05" from a shower overnight. HRRR gives my area east of DC more storms today. Not so much west of the city.
  25. I've got a 60×50' fenced in garden. I also have a 40×50' corn plot. The corn plots need consistent watering. I don't care about my grass. My corn is the only grass on property I care about lol.
