  1. 93/77, man it's oppressive out there. Riding the motorcycle is pretty miserable.
  2. Wow that's a massive storm coming into SoMD from the north.
  3. Next February when one of us jokes that the high sun angle will melt steel...well....
  4. It verifies. Higher altitude with the high sun angle, those numbers are to be expected.
  5. I desperately need to adjust the valves on my motorcycle but I've been putting it off for a weekend that's bearable to workout outside in the garage all day. This week is not that week. I'm thinking of buying one of those floor standing AC units that I can set up in my garage just for instances like this.
  6. You need to just move to somewhere like at the base of Mt Rainier. There's a winter poster, I can't remember his name, he used to be despondent over the lack of snow but I think he reformed himself and is better now. He might have tips.
  7. These DPs are out of control. At least it's cloudy today, but my AC spends most of its time just dehumidifying the air.
  8. Ive have those two NE snowstorm books in my Amazon cart for like a year now...I haven't pulled the trigger yet, but one of these days...
  9. Man I could see becoming a hermit and throwing up a small stone cabin right there and raising sheep.
  10. It's madness here. Thanking the maker for this cooler weather because I'm changing bags daily. Four have pupated and should have more doing so daily which will ease the pressure.
  11. 20yrs ago it seemed like we were good for at least a couple good ole cold noreasters every winter, even if they were mostly rain. Feels like it's been a while since we've had a good one.
  12. That thing eclosed pretty quickly, probably the warm weather sped up development. I've got about fifty L5 regalis caterpillars and they are devastating all my sweetgum, I'm so ready for them to pupate...next week.
  13. I grow potatoes too down in Calvert. I was not expecting them to do that well in the shade and clay soil but randomly I get quite a few every year.
  14. The rain this week def gave me enough to last through August without severe drought.
  15. Heavy rain from a storm that just went through. Jungle weather continues in SoMD.
  16. Ah the ole rain shadow of Virginia. Was just reading up on it. http://virginiaplaces.org/geology/rainshadow.html
  17. Where do you live? I don't think my powers are strong enough yet to manifest any rain in your area.
  18. Remember the manifest destiny principles. I'm gonna make it happen for you.
  19. Im starting think I should have built my house out of concrete block like they do in Latin America for max.longevity.
  20. Heavy shower right now. This is like Borneo weather. Tropical downpour.
  21. My manifest destiny book is already paying back in spades
  22. It's blah outside. Grey, still and muggy.
  23. It sort of looks like it was in the process of updating when you took the picture. The back half of it looks like a variegated fritillary caterpillar. If the chrysalid turned more whitish then thar would make sense. You could just take it and put it in a container to allow it to eclose, it should be relatively quick - they overwinter as small caterpillars.
  24. Looks like the newly formed chrysalis of a fritillary to me - possibly a variegated fritillary? Hard to say 100% for sure though. If you have violets in the area this would lead toward a fritillary.
  25. That's cool and all but I've been really studying my new weather textbook and I'm seeing big snows for us.
