    IAD gusted to 66 mph...wow
  2. Eskimo Joe
    It looks like a legit right moving, low topped supercell. Even the 0.5° BV has 50Kt winds right off the deck. Impressive.
  3. Eskimo Joe
    Probably a nice shelf cloud starting to develop from that storm.

    That's a legit little cell in Loudoun...probably riding the terrain and some differential heating boundary. Seems like there's more clearing over NOVA than the MD side of the Potomac.

    Just got a SVR (#532 for LWX this calendar year).

    Looks like parts of the region just got upgraded to a D1 SLGT

    Just like June 13, 2013 when we went from D1 MOD to nada in 2 hours. Moco had a tornado but that was it.

    D2 ENH/MOD is the kiss of death in these parts.

    September to December is the best beer time of the year.

    I planted on time, but lost a week of feeding/weeding for a small vacation. That tip was for everyone else because there's nothing more exciting than watching pumpkins grow and making fresh pie from them.

    Yup. D2 ENH is the new D2 MOD in these parts...destined for failure.

    Pumpkins finally showing up on my vines. ProTip: if you're trying to grow squash, melons or pumpkins and only getting male flowers, it is likely due to stress. Feed your plants a high potash formula for 2 weeks and you'll see female flowers pretty quickly.

    People forget the ENH is just the old 30%. We average between 1 and 3 ENH a year and it's been pretty quite this year even compared to our usual quietness so I wonder if folks are just starved for some action.

    Chasing swallotails...RIP my right arm.

    Gardened for most of the day Sunday and got Rue Rash....far worse than poison ivy. Blerg it burns and doctor has nothing for it except to let it run its course for about 10 days.

    No problem. Living in NW Baltimore County we also have the clay soil. Tilling in the stuff that I mentioned above (i edited the post to include a link) will go far. The best thing is that $40 gets you 8 bags even when it's not on sale.

    Two great, cheap sources of organic matter to loosen tough clay or shale soil are mushroom compost and leaf mold. You can buy them at a garden store and they come in 2 or 3 ft^3 bags for about $2.50 a bag. Purchase them in March and fork or till the material in. If you do this every year or every other year you'll notice that over the course of 2 to 3 years your soil will dramatically improve. EDIT: This is the leaf gro. Amazing stuff: https://www.lowes.com/pd/Leafgro-40-lb-Compost/3152593

    The old adage is, "One years seeds are three years weeds."

    Went to the Beaver Dam Swim club in Cockeysville yesterday. It's an old marble quarry and a damn shame you can't fish a small portion of it. Saw a school of about bass about 17" - 20" cruising one section. Tons of huge panfish too.
  21. Eskimo Joe
    Really excited for this heat coming up. It should yield some great evening bass fishing up in Carroll County. Anyone here try the Whopper Plopper? Looking at getting a few and trying them out this summer.
  22. Eskimo Joe
    Bethesda?

    Wonder if the MOD rainfall risk is more for antecedent conditions.
  25. Eskimo Joe
    Where did I say that?
