Yep, in my area it's been a half or quarter inch or so every week to ten days. Building up a deficit, but enough to keep things green. I can tell its dry because my grass (and grass in local parks) isn't as thick and lush as it usually is. As sun angle season builds, if we don't get more moisture (like at least 4" by the end of the month) it's gonna start to bake and burn out
-
One of these days I'll get more than 0.5" from an event...
-
Those meandering cutoffs are the bane of my may-june existence around here. This time of year I want SUN
-
I've been very pleasantly surprised that some mayapple seeds I planted randomly under some trees in the back of my yard actually grew. Trying to turn my 1/4 acre (the back of it) into the woods, might take 30 years though
-
Things better turn around in May-June or we are gonna be baked this summer.

Decent rain in silver spring, getting some puddles in my ancient and misshapen driveway. Maybe a third of an inch? I should get a rain gauge.
-
Either July or August. It was biblical looking downpours
-
I think in 2018 DCA got 66" of precip lol. Basically double what we've had the last couple years. I felt like we were living in Florida that year

Did someone call my name? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paleocene–Eocene_thermal_maximum

GEFS gave up on it too, looks southis
-
Now this I can get into. Actually more than a half inch. I'm at barely 1.25" in the past 30 days.
-
Dry pavement in Silver Spring, hoping we get smacked later by heavy rains
-
-
Meh, I don't like that map for the immediate DC metro... quarter inch or a bit more
-
Hanging my hat on this here in the Gobi Desert
-
Yep we don't really do nicer than this. 10/10. Cut down a dead dogwood tree without breaking a sweat
-
Enjoying this colorado april weather while it lasts... humid gray mornings will be back before long
-
Booty cheeks showing of moisture and thunder here in silver spring. Got some sprinkles and thunder
-
Lol this thread gets boring in March. Snapped this pic of a remaining pile of snowcrete outside a parking garage at UMD. In January/February it was nearly at the top of that poor tree . That spot gets a lot of afternoon sun - not sure if it will make it to April, but I will update on its lifespan.

nice headed out lewes/rehobo way for easter... fingers crossed for a torch
-
Wind is kicking butt as usual here
-
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 :-(
