Wind was cool until I got a home in the woods with 100ft tulip trees all around it. Severe storms were cool until the 2012 Derecho and I changed my mind (see above). Hail was cool until it destroyed my roof and ruined my car's sheet metal a couple years ago. Tornadoes were never cool. Snowstorms are still cool and probably always will be. For our DC row home none those things concern me except maybe hail destroying all the solar panels, idk.

JB is so smug about his stupid stratwarm. I hate that thing, the one time one of them actually delivered on cold unsettled weather is this April. Nice.
-
I'm sure it's only a matter of time....

This spring gives me the feeling we are going to amble along in this cooler windy annoying pattern until all of a sudden it flips and we're baking til October. We have solar panels on the city house and im sort of wishing we have a wind turbine instead this year.

Closest cocorahs station to me got 3.18" so I'm going with that.

Went for a walk with Benson in the city, felt like I was in London with the cool rain. Solid dumping down in Calvert looking at the cams and radar, drought has officially ended.
-
If I were you I'd break out the Bible or something. The only reason for this cutoff that I can think of is biblical. I hope for your sake eventually the moisture overcomes the forcefield.

On my street in Bloomingdale for some crazy reason the street trees are sycamore. I can't think of a worse city street tree than sycamore other than tulip trees...which they're actually planting as new trees as well! Like WTF, tulip trees are one of the largest trees east of the Continental dive...second maybe only to...sycamore. Who is in charge of these decisions!?
-
Wild to watch the radar loop, rain keeps moving north but just disappears along that NE running line all throughout the region. Somebody must've pissed off the rain gods at some point.
-
Crazy looking at the NW edge of the precip, it looks like it's running into a forcefield and just refusing to move north. Hate that for them...but I'll take the rain in the SE!
-
SoMD and Eastern shore were epicenter of the drought last year but that definitely seems to have shifted. I'm not complaining, my caterpillars don't do well in drought due to low leaf water content. Earlier I thought you might get a good rain band into Germantown but it seems to be drying up as it reaches you. Hopefully you get something out of this!

Up in DC, just started light rain about 30mins ago. Looking at the home cam back in Calvert it's been raining raining moderately there all morning. Definitely good rain for the plants.

I HATE WIND ARGHGBBWAAAHAA!!!!

Man I hope so. Been a long time...
-
Up in Detroit at the airport right now...looking at the security cam back in Calvert it's been pouring rain there all morning.
-
Up at the city house I saw 81F on the car thermometer on the way to Trader Joe's today. Have company over for dinner and turned the AC on to keep it comfortable inside...first time of the year for the city house.

"But it snowed in April that one time back in...!"

The "is it ever going to rain again?" discussion.
IronTy replied to JenkinsJinkies's topic in Mid Atlantic
If wind was rain we'd need a boat and two of each animal lined up to board. -
I don't buy it. Maybe the stratwarm will shock the system (haha) and change the pattern but I'm skeptical. I think we need Yellowstone to erupt to get us out of this dry pattern.
-
31F when I walked Benson this morning and my neighbors had their sprinkler system running smh.
-
I think we've reached the sun angle whereas as long as it isn't too windy it feels warm outside regardless of the actual air temp. I approve.

DOGE must've known. We don't need any of that NOAA overhead apparently. Hopefully the new AI will forecast at least 60" storms for us perennially at d10. That would be cool. https://au.finance.yahoo.com/news/ai-breakthrough-offers-weather-forecast-161544914.html Tests of the Aardvark model revealed that it is able to outperform the United States national GFS forecasting system using just 10 per cent of the input data, leading researchers to say it could offer a “revolution in forecasting”.

Good luck trying to compensate for the gales whenever throwing or catching the ball.
-
Getting dumped on here now. Beneficial rain so I won't complain.
