  1. And now we are sitting on the tarmac at Denver. Stupid storms couldn’t wait until later.
  2. I’m supposed to land at IAD at 4pm. I’m on a United flight. I presume this is the last time I’ll talk to you folks. It was a good ride.
  3. July 4th was memorable because of the holiday, but the "cold" snap later in July was even more impressive. Low of 48 at IAD on 7/30/14 after a high (no precip!) of 74 on the 29th.
  4. We’ve had so many really light events that it didn’t dawn on me that we were headed back under climo. Mowed the lawn, mostly to pick up the late winter leaves, and there was much more dust than I expected. Soil a few inches down seems fine, though.
  5. Interesting. I found Sandy to be pretty boring inside the DC Beltway. The only memorable thing about it was the extremely odd nature of the event and the coverage of things elsewhere. The 2018 March windstorm wrecked two houses within a few blocks of my house and had us w/o power for the better part of a day (no outages with Sandy).
  6. This is a tricky question because it depends on whether you view it in a IMBY sense. It is also difficult to compare a distinct event (severe weather) to a climate-scale event (heat wave). Top distinct event: Derecho IMBY distinct event: TS Lee remnants Climate event: 2010-12 heat waves
  7. Yeah, go with sod. There is just so much care that goes into seeding. And weeds are so much more prolific in seeding areas. Basically all you have to do with sod is water it.
  8. That's interesting, we haven't had any problem with cone flowers. Hostas are basically just deer food. They also love cucumber plants for some reason.
  9. @CobaltI saw in one of the other threads that you found the web archive version of the old board. Back years ago, when the server was still active, I had copied a bunch of the links over for our big events. But when the server went down for good, the links went dead. If you, or someone else, wanted to somewhat recreate what I had done, that would be cool. There are some gems in there. k
  10. Nov. - 2.08" Dec. - 0.80" Jan. - 1.03" Less than 4" over the last three months. Not good.
  11. I knew it was warm, but I had no idea we were top-3.
  12. I love how we can put up a nearly all-time warmest month and barely notice it at this point.
  13. There is, or used to be, a network of small x-band radars on the west side run by UPR-Mayaguez.
  14. Per LWX, this was the rainiest July on record at IAD.
  15. DCA 73 vs the record of 64. I think Ian on twitter noted the other day that 64 was tied for the lowest individual daily high temp on record at DCA. Now Dec 17th stands alone.
  16. IAD's 4.4" was in 1980-81. They messed up the dates on the LWX site. 5.9" in 97/98 is correct.
  17. Really impressive/depressing. Thanks for crunching the numbers.
  18. IAD got it. DCA missed on a weird day where the high was before noon.
  19. IAD with the hottest August on record by a decent margin. 3rd hottest summer behind 2010 and 2011.
