Its hot! The crunchy brown grass makes it feel warmer too. Looping through the temperature forecast on the mesos for Saturday is really wierd. East to West cold front?
-
I just deployed sprinklers in my yard too. Used up the 2x 200gal rain barrels last week. Not looking great for the next couple weeks either.
-
Fits with the pattern of semi crappy weekends. Why not bring in some sort of tropical system for the holiday!
-
NWS copy pastes this for every weekend. Hope we can break the cycle before summer.
-
I was there too! First game ever for my 6yo and my 10yo also had a blast. It was school night so a bunch of the class was there. I haven't been to a game in years, whats the deal with very few gates open to leave? Kinda felt crowded as the mob was leaving through half a gate.

anyone know why the air is bad (code orange) today in central md? edit: found this- https://mde.maryland.gov/programs/Air/AirQualityMonitoring/Pages/index.aspx

Ha! Same here, sat outside on the porch all evening, was such a nice night. I'm hoping to get my boat in the water this coming weekend, Sunday at least looks dry out west.
-
Rain this weekend and rain next weekend? Need to get out of this 7 day precip pattern.
-
Yea Im done with chilly cloudy. Had a sweatshirt and two other layers coaching softball this evening. Hope this weekend breaks the pattern.

Considering we just received 3" of rain, my yard isn't soggy at all. It was a good soaker too. Today was decent although felt a little chilly when the clouds rolled in. Good for getting yardwork done. Anyone else notice tons of gnats already? Almost impossible to get work done without a hat or head covering. A lot of birds in yard, so maybe something else eats gnats?

Cool and rainy, just like our winter!
-
Hard pass on highs in the 50s in May. And yea, what is the Northern SERC?
-
LOL, if only that worked in winter as well. I edited the post to change the link to the whole archive. Its kind of fun reading through it from start to "omg too much rain".

@mattie g might care more if they put pool filling restrictions up and cramp his swim schedules!
-
I thought I remembered some sort of water restrictions a long time ago, and found this archive from the WaPo circa 1999: Washingtonpost.com: Drought Special Report I was 19 at the time so didn't really care about water :). Thought the article had some good insight into what happens when we get dry. One thing people around here really don't think about are wells. Even here in howard county the entire western part of the county is not served by public water. Might be 20-25% of the county population.

Is the GFS on crack for the extended range? Or are we in store for a cold pattern ahead?
-
spread 8 yards of mulch today, getting a little toasty. Feels like its gonna be a hot summer.
-
gonna be rioting if this wjz weather guy doesnt get off the split screen.

rumbles and some rain in Ellicott city. So far looks like we dodged the worst.

2023 Mid-Atlantic Garden, Lawn, and Other Green Stuff Thread
mdhokie replied to mattie g's topic in Mid Atlantic
I installed a robot mower last year, and it was great! Still had to touch up the edging every so often. Sure didn't miss the sweaty summer mows! I just took it out of storage, grass is starting to show signs of life. Unrelated: Has anyone else seen an uptick in the weeds this year? I don't put much stuff down but do spot spray. The chickweed is going crazy! -
Good temps outside for yard work, but cold for anything else. Breeze has a bite to it.
-
Everyone is on edge after so many below average snowfall winters
-
I've been WFH for 6 years and don't miss the commute one bit. Feel like covid made people even worse on the roads.
-
rumbles and pouring rain here in EC.
-
my chickweed is thriving. dont think it ever died off over the "winter".
