The pattern has truly shifted. Coastals are back on the menu!

Hopefully it comes true just like it did when the euro was predicting 7-10" area-wide 10 days ago.
-
The pax river forcefield seems to be in effect from what I can see.
-
Tropical downpour in Calvert. Heavy rain and thunder, very soupy out.
-
That's the setup for an EPIC FEBRUARY PATTERN

Was up in DC at the house this weekend, not much there except for some overnight light rain. Just got back in Calvert and it looks like there was a solid inch or so while I was gone. I need to get a new rain gauge, I left my old one out over the winter and the water in it froze and shattered it.

GFS says no.

Has someone hacked your account?
-
Latest euro has the rainstorm equivalent of a warm nose right up to the lower Chesapeake. Expecting just pity sprinkles by the time first drops fall.
-
Kuchera maps? 10:1 euro looks about like we'd expect for a Christmas blizzard analogue.

With about as much chance of verification.

So is all my home's interior millwork.

Lol just found wjla's weather website plays historical radar on at least a 5hr loop and it showed a heavy cell over just my town at around 4am, light everywhere else. I must manifested that for my yard.
-
Cocorahs has the closest station to me at like 0.15" but no way I didn't get more than that based on last night. Must been really localized. Radar looks promising for SoMD shortly. Hopefully you get something.
-
I woke up sometimes in the night and it was raining pretty hard in Calvert, then a couple hours later I woke up again and it was still raining. Must've gotten a decent amount.

Out in the back woods, feels like the dog days of summer with how dry it is. All that's missing is katydids and cicadas.
-
True, but if you look back you notice that we never even had any sort of coastal event that originated in the SE, rain or snow. Been that way for several years. I assume it has something to do with the lack of southern stream moisture. But I'm just an amateur and by no means an expert. We need a pattern like 2018, whatever that was.

2025 Mid-Atlantic Garden, Lawn, and Other Green Stuff Thread
IronTy replied to mattie g's topic in Mid Atlantic
That's what I thought I was doing but I guess I underestimated how dry and windy it was outside at the time. Lesson learned. By the time my new seedlings are large enough luckily it'll be warmer and more humid outside. Hopefully. -
2025 Mid-Atlantic Garden, Lawn, and Other Green Stuff Thread
IronTy replied to mattie g's topic in Mid Atlantic
I screwed up and set my tomato and pepper seedlings outside I nthe shade for 2hrs one day last week and I guess it was too dry and windy, they shriveled up and died. So now I have to start over. Argh. -
It's sort of like looking for the epic February snow pattern. Whatever pattern persistence we're stuck in is definitely not a big snow or rain storm pattern. Might as well adjust your expectations on rainfall just like we had to do for snowfall. Base case is drought until there's a big atmospheric shakeup at some point.

What's the effective radius for it? I'd just do it in the winter because deer generally only eat the mountain laurel as a last resort if they're starving which isn't an issue during the growing season.
-
Just got back to Calvert from the city. Pollen is on blast, especially my Loblolly pines. I'm thankful that it doesn't cause me any allergy issues but it sure makes a mess. 74F.
-
The honeysuckle is relatively easy to control since it's evergreen and I can spray it in late fall or early spring but the bittersweet is relentless and it seems like new seedlings pop up every day. And then there's the stupid Japanese stiltgrass. I agree, it's all just a thankless battle that never ends. And then there are the deer. They decimated my mountain laurel this winter which means they must've been really desperate. We need a few more severe winters to thin the herd.
-
The growing season isn't over yet. I hear English ivy is a good ground cover...
-
One of them lives on a hill like me and said he was worrying about erosion during rain and that he feels better now that the leaves are gone. SMH, that's not how it works.
