Apparently I was asleep at the wheel - I was not expecting the winds to be so intense today. Pretty raw out there.

I ran the wood stove all weekend. Two weeks ago I looked at the latest electricity prices and decided I needed to order more firewood for the winter.

It's been so long since we had a cold winter that even an average winter feels like an ice age.

I can't even imagine how intense this board is gonna get when the day finally comes...

My Mandevilla vine is covered in flowers now. Might bring it inside by the end of the week though.

40F right now at home in Calvert. Game cam sent me a pic at 7am showing 33F at the cabin which is the coldest I've seen so far there too.

Not even then nowadays. Late May is when spring starts now.

Bastardi saw it

In Calvert I'm at about 100ft and the cabin is just over 3k ft.

My game cam up at the cabin sent a pic at 1pm and the ambient temp there was 43F. Brrrr! 20F colder than down here in Calvert right now.

What's the kuchera? In before the "what went wrong" thread request

JB was already hinting at the Sandy analog in the euro week 3 window.

Heavy rain all night here. A real drought buster. Not sure I've seen rain this heavy and sustained in a long time. Of course i'm in Detroit visiting my parents, not back home. I'm sure back in DC it's dry and boring.

That must be it, I guess it pulled arctic air down out of Russia and cooled the surface temps on the Russian coast.

A 5F temp drop followed by a change in the winds from SW to W? I'm tracking it...stay vigilant.
