  1. That is an amazing setup! Would you be able to elaborate on your instrumentation, placement and upkeep?
  2. States, counties and cities with rainy day funds will emerge with the least impact on tax burden on residents and businesses. DC is a prime example of this since they don't have full budget autonomy and get impacted pretty heavily during partial Fed shutdowns.
  3. Euro really loving the backdoor coldfront potential in the long range.
  4. How did everyone's garden fare? IMO, if we can make it to Wednesday I think our gardens are fine for the summer. Looks like I've lost some salvia and petunas in an elevated deck box but otherwise made out pretty well.
  5. Like clockwork, heavy precip showing up along the I-81 corridor.
  6. 06z Euro pops a Bermuda(ish) high at HR144.
  7. So, a typical Mid Atlantic event then?
  8. Per LWX climo page, if I'm doing this correctly, all 3 terminals have had snow in May but only ever a trace: BWI, 5/9/1923 DCA, 5/10/1906 IAD, 5/1/1963 Note that IAD climo records don't go back as far as DCA and BWI.
  9. You count the type and number of birds you see and report them to the Audubon society I believe.
  10. It would be wild to go from snow to like mid 80s in 10 days.
  11. My grass seed rejoices.
  12. "There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there always has been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge"." -Isaac Asimov, 1980.
  13. I am going to PM you some info.
  14. Flash Flood Watch through 2:00 am tomorrow for DC Metro and points South: More information
  15. Thanks for the info. I'll stick with over seeding and manual pulling. We like to avoid any acrid chemical treatment whenever possible.
  16. This has turned into a damn fine weekend.
  17. If we get a warning level event at DCA in May, I'll quit the board.
  18. Definitely looks like a I-66 to US 50 and points south risk.
  19. Yea this is pretty much the worst climo spot in the country across the board for weather lovers. 52 degrees and heavy dew this AM. Really looking forward to some sustained warmer weather.
  20. Looking at the EPS/Euro data reinforces the @mappy rule of not planting sensitive plants out before May 15th.
  21. Phin's made it abundantly clear that he cares about nothing or no one other than himself. Arguing with him is like arguing with a cat, you're just wasting your time.
  22. Yea, good LIs are a sign of the capability to really sustain updrafts and we've seen some pretty cold temps upstairs of late so I could see a couple of big hailers ripple off the I-81 corridor and trek into NOVA. Maryland is probably out of this one unless something big shifts in our favor.
  23. Sunday screams big hailers and structure for I-66 south.
