so refreshing to have a dreary day finally. Overcast since sunrise and raining off and on since 10am
-
Anyone know why CHO is now only reporting hourly? 5 mins obs stopped coming in around 2:15am yesterday and haven't returned

Mammatus last night at sunset

I'm upset about it. We got some brief gusty showers in cville proper and then the line absolutely exploded about 5 miles to our East...
-
Same here. My parents witnessed chipmunks stealing hummingbird food this week (we're assuming) for the water content. First time they've seen that in 20+ years of having that feeder out. They're getting their bird bath out of storage to help out the local critters

It's miserable out there. I'm in Falls Church visiting my parents, went out to test fit some new sunshades on my car, was dripping sweat within 10 mins

I'm enjoying it, but haven't checked in since page 1. What's the intent here? Are you going to be hosting this for people to use? Can people grab the files and run it locally for themselves? I have a new Synology NAS this would be a good little project for.

yeah but no big misses this time, please

This is what happens when developers strip all of the topsoil from a new build and don't leave or plant any trees. Grass doesn't have a chance here

You don't have to go back nearly that far for the HHH skies. I remember them and I was born in '92. The legislation responsible for removing the vast majority of that aerosol layer was 1990's Clean Air Act amendment signed in by HW. The downstream effects of that would not be fully realized for 20+ years. Our air was pretty shitty through the new millenium.

lmao. not how OSHA works tough guy. They show up when complaints are filed or in the limited high risk industries that get regular inspections
-
We're disparaging heat safety and awareness now? Really?? America was built on the backs of hundreds of thousands of work related injuries and deaths. OSHA didn't exist until 1971 and wasn't doing a whole lot before the 80s.

Power yes, but the rail issue isn't unique to metro. That's just a product of steel's inherent properties. We would need some wonder material replacement to fix that issue. Rails are installed under tension but with enough heat that can switch to compression as the steel expands resulting in bending/buckling. Engineers take that stuff into account and it all might still be "within spec" but it still deserves respect in terms of train speed as you get to the edge of that allowable range.

I feel this, I turn 32 in 2 days. Loved the area while I was growing up in Annandale/Falls Church and it's been tough watching it change so much the last ~10 years. Even still, after being away from it for almost 4 years now I miss it. It's hard to appreciate how much the area has going for it before you've moved somewhere else. Charlottesville has it's small town charm, great access to the outdoors, etc but there is a lot left to be desired. I might be back in NoVA next year...

yeah I'll take the under on that one boss
-
I think your guess is correct, looks like a volumetric percentage
-
Request: can you also post the avg OHC map for the date for comparison?

Love to hear it. A lot of the canopy around the Wash/Balt region is "aging out" as these 50s/60s/70s builds see their original plantings die off or need removal for other reasons. I've watched my parent's neighborhood become way sunnier in the last 10 years than it was when I was a kid as a lot of old oaks have come down. “A society grows great when old men plant trees whose shade they know they shall never sit in.”

How exposed is that corner of the house to direct sun in the afternoon? It's not an option for everyone, but one often overlooked way to lower energy bills or fixing situations like this is using vegetation to provide shade for the structure. Trees for mid-day sun, shrubs and bushes if you want to block early/late day rays. We've kind of forgotten as a society this used to be the norm and can still be useful. "old farmhouse style" or w/e you want to call it

That's pretty significant. Your May production should typically be on the order of 15-20% above April

Whats you're system size (AC and DC)? Curious about specific yield

Getting dunked on in Hooville. Very ominous looking sky Gust to 51 at CHO
