  1. I'm giving it until Dec 31. If we don't have at least 1 warning event or one on the horizon then I'm out. It would be nice to get a soaking 1" - 3" of rain regionwide in the next week to 10 days. We can still recover the foliage season or at least part of it if we can tilt back to a wetter regime.
  2. CPC outlook through November is a torch. We're heading towards another unbearable winter it seems.
  3. Not sure where else to put this
  4. So what you're saying is that it's going to be an amazing winter?
  5. Hope we get some rain fast, otherwise it's going to be a quick leaf drop. Lots of trees look stressed.
  6. Yup, it's like a nice relaxing warm.
  7. I love a few days in September in the upper 80s...there's something really relaxing about it, especially in the evening when the windows are open and you watch the sun set. After October 1st it can get cold.
  8. We usually do one surprise mid-90s heat wave in September.
  9. My garden is shot too, just the pumpkins, beets and collards are left.
  10. Nino and blocking are key here, especially south of I-66.
  11. Judah Cohen is about as useful and reliable as JB and DT.
  12. Some purists say a 3:1 during the start and end of the season for the higher sugar content, then taper to a 4:1 during the "normal" summer. I have kept a little harem of birds around for 2 years with my 3:1 ratio.
  13. Ditto on the Lantana and Milkweed recommendation. Also, put a hummingbird feeder on a pole there with a 3:1 (water:sugar) ratio and you'll have some great bird action all summer and into mid autumn.
  14. It's amazing how terrible US media is. They hype things up with trash articles like this and then wonder why no one takes them seriously.
  15. Yup. The previous owners were old and let part of the back yard go. We've been cleaning it up but it seems to be an endless task.
  16. Pulled 13 bags of hedges and old bushes off the lawn this weekend. I just dont have the time this year for lawn maintenance so I opted for TruGreens reseeding, aeration and feeding program this year. I hope it bolsters the lawn.
  17. Hope this is a sign of a good winter. Like 2009 - 2010 level good but a bit colder.
  18. At noon today it was 52 degrees in Garrett County and nearly 90 degrees in St. Marys County. In August.
  19. River levels are low which can be good for fishing as it holes the fish up. Hoping to hit up the Monocacy this weekend. Also...DCA and BWI notch another 90°.
  20. Convective temp on the 12z IAD RAOB was 93° and we're hitting the 95-97 degree range regionwide. Should see more stuff start to pop,
