Reading the tea leaves I've got a good feeling for this winter. December is gonna be a dumpster fire and I'll be cutting grass up til Christmas but I'm seeing storms in January and February. I'm not even going to do any snowblower prep so that'll bring more luck. How does Garrett county do in super ninos?
Storm out there again this morning. Really gross, no wind,.just rain. Rain gauge looks to have over 2" in it but I'll have to measure properly once it stops raining.
Just got home after driving through heavy rain all the way through Calvert county. My rain gauge has 1.1" in it from the storms today so far. Solid drought remediation. Seems like more to come too.
Gross day out at DCL. Misty rain and a cloud forest up at 3k ft. At least it's cool. Packing up to head back to Calvert, sounds like it's more gross down there.
What the flip? Just arrived at the cabin, 57F on top of the mountain with a stuff breeze. Had to put on a sweater, feels like fall! Lighting for moths tonight is probably going to be a letdown.
RIP winter 2026-2027...we never even knew ya.
Quick @Weather Will post up that CFS DJF prediction to steer us back toward the light. Or somebody post up the latest JB tweet to give us hope.
Oh look it's the SoMD precip split in full effect. I recognized the signs before the precip had even exited SE Ohio. It's so predictable. Try harder, weather gods.
Woke up last night a few times and each time I heard a light steady rain which is good for the drought. Unfortunately I didn't put my new rain gauge out because none of the forecasts showed any rain for us!
Maybe in October on the day of peak leaf color we will get a big noreaster and it'll dump all the leaves in a couple hours. I'd be for it if it means a couple inches of rain.
For some reason mine didn't come with the rods. It's like they forgot to pack them. Luckily the birds have plenty of better choices for perches around here so hopefully it won't be an issue.
My neighbor was cutting his lawn (hay at this point) yesterday and there was so much dust being kicked up by the mower that I understood how the dust bowl happened.
Yeah after the last two years I don't even care if it snows down here this winter , I'm just fine with noreaster after noreaster of 40F and rain (I'll change my tune in December).
