  1. Plant in December, cover generously with straw. Cut off the first set of skanes that appear. Let the leaves go brown after that but harvest before the stem withers. Use a fork if the ground is hard. Let dry in a shaded, dry space for a week. Cut and clean as appropriate.
  2. Lawn is slowly waking up. Everything is getting that look of anticipation of leaf out.
  3. M0.3" for the seasonal total. Winter's over.
  4. Compared to it's 00z counterpart, the 12z CMC has a much stronger and better placed high over Canada.
  5. Once the mesonet stations go in this year, we'll have better access to identifying mesoscale features and supporting warn-on (hopefully!) processes. Really exciting times coming locally to summer weather lovers.
  6. We are so due for a crazy flood/severe season.
  7. It's 70 at Ft. Meade, 49 at Annapolis.
  8. Visible satellite shows low level clouds trying to work southwest along the NJ and DE coasts. This might be an inkling into a back door cold front trying to work down towards Baltimore/Philly/Delmarva. But surface observations show a broad southwest flow at the surface which may limit it's extent. Looks like the HRRR and RAP beat the NAM on how far north the warm sector would advance today. Let's go for 80 degrees!
  9. Hardnecks are the best. My wife is sicilian so we make our own tomato sauce and when combined with home grown garlic, it makes for one of the best meals you'll ever have. We cannot go back to store brought garlic.
  10. Big differences for tomorrow temp-wise. NAM keep areas north and east of the Susquehanna River socked in with fog in the low 50s. HRRR gets every SW of Philly well into the warm sector.
  11. Garlic is doing very well. Hoping for a banner year.
  12. Multiple M0.88" hail reports and 0.5° velocity readings all signaled severe threat. 100% should have been warned.
  13. 2/7/2020 was an incredible MRGL day in these parts. Better than most ENH days. https://www.spc.noaa.gov/exper/archive/event.php?date=20200207
  14. Daffodils are blooming. Tulips coming up. Red Maple buds swelling. Happy February!
  15. Euro pumping a 597dm ridge in the Gulf in...checks notes...February.
  16. The wedge always wins. Until it doesn't.
  17. Meso guidance is definitely hinting at some wind issues for the higher elevations. Would agree with @George BM that it could get a wind advisory for Mason-Dixon counties and perhaps the I-81 corridor. If we can manage some sunshine as well it might promote more effective mixing to the surface.
