Up in DC this weekend, just went to the farmers market. I don't know how people live full time here in the summer. Even at 9am the heat radiates off the brick and asphalt and is like an oven. Leaving back to Calvert in a bit. Looking forward to next weekend.
To be fair, JD wasn't predicting that the warm water would end up NE and wasn't suggesting that it was migrating there. He was just pointing out that it was something to keep an eye on and that winters where it does end up there can be severe for the eastern US.
Went to get the mail and lower dp air is definitely filtering in. Has that late August sound/feel to the air out there. Hoping I can open my windows for a few hours tomorrow morning to get some fresh air inside.
Watching those storms in charles county but they seem to be stuck there and not moving east much. Clouds have rolled in to Calvert at least so it's not as bad outside. Checking the cams up in DC and it's pouring at the house up there.
I wonder how much cloud cover impacts that? I'd think that more cloud cover would reduce the UHI effect and maybe that helps normalize DC temps? Just a guess though.
Yup, I'm trying to slow roll my cigar so it lasts til the storms arrive. I could see 2-3" out of this. Phew. I hope the tulip trees are ok. Oooo, lightning and intense thunder just over my house right now. Wow it's loud.
Radar looks pretty.ominous for the storms coming in to st Mary's county. Sitting on the front porch in Calvert waiting for them to roll across the river. Can already hear thunder. It's gonna be heavy.
I guess for me it would be trying to go to sleep with the house like 85 degrees. I'd live in the basement I think,.though that would probably get all moldy pretty quick.
Out changing my caterpillar bags and it's so oppressive out. It feels hard to breathe. I don't know how the old timers did it without AC down here in the olden times. Has to be the most important invention of all time other than electricity or antibiotics ..
Sure it's lower on the BTU content vs hickory or oak, but it's light and splits easy and burns well. I wouldn't purposely pay for it but around here tulip trees grow faster than lawn and there's always somebody trying to offload logs from a tree they had to remove (or that a storm knocked down). So for free I'll definitely take it.
