    We had a 5% pity meso last time, but the low was about 7mb stronger and we were in Larko's Triangle.

    $20 says we see a quick temp spike pre-front as the low level inversion mixes out and we get a few SVRs / damaging wind reports tonight.

    I wonder if they are a bit gun shy after missing one of the largest winter tornado events in the Mid Atlantic the other week.

    Yea, it's always a battle of the wedge. I've noticed that when you get a maturing/mature storm with decent low level jet moving into us it's easier to clear out the low levels. When you have to wait on the jet to strengthen over us then it's sketchy. I would imagine it might not be as hard to scour out the low level cold air this time because we have no snow cover and the ground isn't frozen up.

    Classic early season "high shear low CAPE environment"

    We're long overdue for a big, multi-modal spring/summer severe season.

    The "we are due" index is pretty high in several areas specifically: 1.) Derecho 2.) Tropical system/remnants 3.) EF-2 or greater tornado 4.) Large scale river flooding event Sooner or later the pendelum is going to swing back on us.
  11. Eskimo Joe
    From a climo perspective we are due for a derecho.

    Might want to wait another 24 hrs...don't need to jinx this.

    12 GEFS is a marked improvement for anyone north of I-66.

    If it's there at D5 or less than we're talking. Beyond that we've been burned too many times.
  15. Eskimo Joe
    Yes. Less than 25% of the events are acceptable and the all but one of the minority that's good is only for the elite forum members in jackpotville.

    It's pretty meh.

    12" - 16" of pancake batter followed by 2" to 3" of ZR then a 3 day deep freeze. The icing on the cake would be the event popping up under 12-24 hours.
  18. Eskimo Joe
    You can't forecast an ice storm until about 12 to 18 hours out.

    This is a phenomenal write up, and it's obvious you went through a lot to collate the information, thank you. I have two follow up questions for BWI. 1.) Would it be possible to re-run the data for 10 inch or greater events? 2.) Would it be possible to re-run the data for days when the high temperatures was at or below 32 degrees at BWI? I'm curious to see if there is any strong correlation for cold weather.

    I think @Bob Chilland @psuhoffman mentioned this before. Worth a read:

    Three 10 foot rows of garlic planted this weekend and put under a plastic row cover. Beets and collards to follow next weekend.
  22. Eskimo Joe
    My garden is shot too, just the pumpkins, beets and collards are left.

    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.
  24. Eskimo Joe
    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.
