    Yep. Leaf out beginning in earnest up here on the high ridges of Silver Spring, for the earlier species. Like my black cherry. Redbuds are primed to pop. Cherries ready to go. Maples red and juicy.

    Fair but I only have a three year sample. And my 3 winter dataset is all pre-leaf-out. Last March, I generated 893.5 kWh. This March, through right now, I'm at 329.3 kWh. Bad lol. Tack on another 10 kWh for the afternoon and call it 340 thru the 18th. Through the 18th last year I was at 496.5kWh. Obviously the end of the month can generate more sweet sweet solar juice, but I am not going to make up that gap. 33% drop

    Sample size of one, but for my solar array: 12/20/25 - 3/17/26: 1.2 MWh of power produced 12/20/24 - 3/17/25: 1.4 MWh of power produced 12/20/23 - 3/17/24: 1.4 MWh of power produced So, call it a ~15% reduction in power produced due to cloudiness and snow cover between last winter and this winter (and the winter before that too). Feels worse than that though.

    It was brief, before 7am. Orange/pink/red on the horizon to the east, breaking through cloud cover a bit. But then back to gray gray gray :-(

    Stupid cold, but there was a nice sunrise this morning.

    The wind was ripping last night. Rattling my aging storm windows in a way we haven't heard for a bit on the second floor. Glad I don't have any big trees in my yard. We kill it with wind

    RIP. Always enjoyed his posts.

    Windy as hell in silver spring
  9. Paleocene
    H trips has it around 8pm - 11pm west to east

    That tracks with my experience in southern moco - literal creeks running fast across normally dry land IMBY. had to be 2" per hour or more rates

    Looking at the loop, I barely missed getting skunked. Heavier stuff was further north even just up the road at @WEATHER53's house

    Real gullywasher in Silver Spring - dumpage for a solid 15 - 20 mins. Yard pondage

    It's been 98% cloudy in silver spring today with a few peeks of brightness. Looks like the southern line rolling through FFX may be headed towards DC/me.

    Tree branches down all over the place in silver spring. I guess lots were weakened by heavy wet snow this month and last. And our very cold winter and recent freeze/thaw/boil cycle.

    Getting smoked with rates for the past hour plus in zip code 20740 (college park/riverdale MD)

    Snain in college park/riverdale

    i'm locked and loaded, zoom in 12z euro. guaranteed to happen. especially because all of this is forecast for between about 9am and 5pm
  18. Paleocene
    Torchy mctorch today
  19. Paleocene
    Here in UHI world I think we are a solid 14+ days behind where we have been in the past several winters. We have a lot of crocuses blooming in random sunny spots in parks; in past years, those bloomed as early as Feb 18th-24th.
  20. Paleocene
    I'm ready for another four inches of sleet
  21. Paleocene
    tmi
  22. Paleocene
    Meh. May and June have been cloudy and damp of late here. I want sun This weather is grim
  23. Paleocene
    We excel at fog and wind. For a while there we excelled at rain, but it's been sort of dry for a while
  24. Paleocene
    No arguments here. We need some sunshine.
  25. Paleocene
    Seems like that back edge is coming east pretty fast for round one here.
