    It's locked in. Just like the wet period this month, I've got a good feeling.

    Crazy I still have to wear my motorcycle liner jacket and it's June already. 19 days til sunlight starts decreasing.

    Have any of these stupid precip outlooks actually verified when they show above normal precip this year? Has NOAA hired Bastardi for their precip forecasting? I'm still holding to my late June derecho and trend toward wet weather. It's still too early.
  4. IronTy
    Oh it won't verify. 1/2" is probably being too optimistic, it'll be less than that.

    Deserts spreading everywhere. Having to water my garden daily. Must have felt similar during the Permian Mass Extinction. SMH

    Not sure about an Ark, maybe a sailboat? That's if all the bodies of water don't dry up first.

    Wtf, I planted a handful of hemlocks in my yard about 7yrs ago and they've done very well but today I noticed one has a bad case of the Woolly Adelgid. Where the hell did they come from, hemlocks don't grow native really anywhere near here. Luckily I've caught it early and there are only a handful of trees I've planted so I can treat them pretty easily. But still, it's baffling where the heck they came from.

    Oh yeah I drive by there every day that I go to work at my old place of employment. Rain is fizzling out again. There seems to be some sort of force field as precip crosses over the Potomac. Maybe this evening we will get something on that final round.

    We're getting a decent shower down here now, radar looks like more is building toward us possibly. Maybe we can ele out a quarter inch this evening. Are you down in that Kinsey's Ridge development S of Prince fred? Or Oakland Hall? I think that was the QBH developments name....

    This last week was pretty pitiful for rain down in Calvert. Today is another day of mist/drizzle that doesn't even get the ground under the trees wet. Might as well go back to sun and full drought instead of this stupid weather.

    It's over. Is this gonna be the year without a summer? Sun angle starts dropping again in 3wks.

    Cocorahs for stephens city has 2.78" on the past 7 days. Pretty good I'd say. Twice what we've gotten in SoMD.

    You down near Lusby? Call Hatcher's and get a load of compost and small pine fines delivered. Once you get that done you should be all good. I've had no trouble growing just about anything in my garden. Only thing I really have trouble with is tomatoes but that's mostly a function of the trees iny yard growing so tall now that I get a lot more shade than I used to 20yrs ago.

    We're up to 0.37" now. To the moon! Looking at the radar it seems to me that the big slug down in Alabama might have our name on it...eventually.

    Checked the local Mesonet. Event cumulation totals have reached the geometric growth phase. We are almost up to 0.25" now...lol.

    All we really need to know are the parameters of the orbit of Jupiter anyhow. JB's already on the case.

    Lol I just looked at the GFS. Ok, maybe the STJ has opened for business. Literally the entire SE area that is currently classified under drought is covered with red heavy precip amounts the next 10days. Crazy how basically it's just an inversion of the US drought monitor map.

    Come on guys. Where have you all been for the last two years? I wouldn't write this whole upcoming weekend off as a washout. Maybe this time they won't be wrong and the forecast will verify...but I wouldn't bet on it.

    I'm at the hospital with my mom in the Detroit area (Novi). Was here yesterday and a crazy intense storm blew through. It was like derecho winds. You know those large public trash bins that are made of cement and this pea gravel looking stuff always in public locations? I was watching out the window of her room during the storm and the wind blew one of them right over! They must weigh several hundred pounds. Was about 90F here yesterday. 53F today when I got to the hospital this morning, much colder.

    LMAO at how fast we flip from chilly, windy evenings to 100F on my car thermometer on the way to DCA. Like 48hrs.

    One blob of clouds over the eastern US and it's literally shaped like Maryland and on top of us.

    Driving home from piano today it seriously looks like September outside. The leaves are either drought stressed or just stunted due to the cold. Looks like late summer, not spring.
  23. IronTy
    Sure is tough to string together a couple nice, sunny, non-windy days.

    Another day on the Steppe...
  25. IronTy
    It has been a pretty cool May in the east, at least.
