North Balti Zen

So sorry to hear that PFW - will hold you all in the light.

It's SUCH a great app. Truly helpful.

Really nice looking rose-breasted grosbeak at one of my feeders this AM in the rain. I am guessing he was stopping by on his way south. Anyone else recently (or not so recently) into birding that uses the Merlin Bird ID app? It is excellent.

Radar is weird - streaming showers due east. Looks wet for northern baltimore county for a long time today.

Looks like should be some decent rain rates in the overnight up this way.

Gave in and turned the heat on. Was hoping to get a few more weeks in, but down to 61 in the house and days of cold rain ahead means its go time for burning oil.

Worst part was I just came off a 10 day trial and was supposed to start another one on Tuesday. One of the jurors at the end of tje 10-day trial in Frederick tested positive and that was the juror I was sitting closest to - so not surprising to finally get it after all this time. Other than tired and some fever not been bad - I am double vaxxed and double boosted which I am grateful for. as for the lantern flies, not “bad” yet per se but noticing them arriving with more and more regularity around my deck area (the killing ground) which means they are probably up the tree line in numbers. eta - agreed on weather mappy. Was a relief to sit out Monday and Tuesday and just enjoy the temps and sun.

Stuck at home with covid since Monday - taken up a new hobby - slaughtering lantern flies.

the claw returns

I’m in the stubborn part of the year - I won’t turn the heat on until it is below 60 in the house.

That ft Myers severe studios cam being overtopped now with surge.

the storm surge in ft myers on TWC live shots is no joke

I mean, c'mon. The carrot cake slander here really is too much.

53 inches of rain into Sarasota might endanger O's training camp next February. That would be beyond catastrophic.

I have really not been following TD 9/Ian thanks to weeks and weeks of work hell. The twitter sharps are talking about adjustments west - does westward adjustments give us a better chance at rain from the remnants?

Rain of some sort downtown Balt. Always hard to tell 20 floors up how hard at the ground, but, rain, for the last little bit.

that is LITERALLY what he wishes for. he wants carnage and destruction.

bengals lost their long snapper to a biceps injury after halftime, that's what happened to the kicking game. they couldn't get it snapped right after that. the rest of it was not great for other reasons. still, should have won even after committing 5 turnovers. weird game.

Ideal steady rain. Bonus that on a weekend many can be at home with windows open and enjoy.

Bonus rain the last 20 minutes or so up this way. Grass and flowers and what not all seem pretty happy.

Went for a run at lunch downtown - was pretty humid - caught me off-guard - I guess I was thinking cooler a bit behind the rain. Was not.

It has been glorious. I did a mental in-your-face dance too.

This will work.

Steady rain here now. Let's do this for about 12 hours
