    I finally heard my first ones last week, was expecting them today but so far nothing. Haven't heard any wood frogs yet either.

    I hope you're right. I'm looking at the southern edge of the line to the west disintegrate over the mountains though. Maybe it redevelops after it gets past the Appalachians but it's not very inspiring to me at the moment.

    I'm not at all impressed by the radar. We never seem to get significant rain from basic front passages so I'm taking the under unless something big shows up on radar.

    Today is starting out pretty shitty in DC. Sitting on my stoop watching the marathoners run by my house. I guess it's good marathon weather at least. 44F.

    Up at the DC house this weekend - clouds are finally starting to break up.

    After last winter's epic period bust I was not a believer in this winter's period. We haven't had an actual coastal storm pattern for so long now that I'm going to stick with persistence until we can throw up some real results. At some point I'm sure we will see them again but until I see results from that I'm going to remain skeptical of any LR modeling showing them. Maybe next winter...

    Today sucks. I hate March. Wedge can go to hell.

    You can't ask for much better for a mid March day than today. I feel a cool east breeze off the water by the bay though. But not too bad.

    +1. Fresh wood chips reduce available nitrogen in the soil as they start to decompose initially.

    My tomatoes and peppers from last weekend have already sprouted and are about an inch tall so all it's going well there. I need to get my oscillating fan wired up on the timer so they don't get too leggy. Just planted my lettuce seeds and first crop of radish seeds. I'll plant the snap peas in another week or two and do subsequent radish crops every week or so. My lemon and lime trees are getting flowers so I gotta pollinate them and for the first time ever I successfully overwintered a mandevilla vine, it's getting tons of buds. They won't go outside til April after all threat of frost.

    I'd have to give it an A down here. About 150% of climo for snow and you can't ask for much better on sustained cold temps.

    My God. Out at the cabin in the mountain and the wind is relentless. 30F and got about an inch of snow overnight, with continuous 30-40mph wind. It's just nonstop. I hate March. Somebody needs to remind me of this post when I'm bitching about 98F and humid in July.

    Why is it always so damn windy in the MA? We rarely had this crap in Michigan. I'm surprised all the pine trees don't only grow branches on the east side of the tree like in the tundra.

    Now? I put down a whole bunch of seed in late fall and in the last week it's actually started to germinate and grow. You'll get more crabgrass doing it now but whatever.

    Droughtbuster out there today. Didn't see any wind or storminess when the line came through, just steady moderate rain for a couple hours now. 54F.

    Started my tomato and banana pepper seeds this weekend. They're on the heater and under grow lights now. Usually I start them in February but last year was so cold in April I had to delay getting them in the ground and they started getting leggy in the trays, so this year I decided to hold off until March before starting them, anticipating a cool april.

    I have mine going now. So dry in my house I just started leaving pot of water on it to try and humidify things. Seems to raise the humidity in the house about 5% but that's the most it can do. Better than nothing I guess. WJLA is saying wednesday might feel humid, I'm gonna have all the windows open that day.

    Not sure if I should play it off as "see what's happening because budget cuts!!" or else "if this is what I'm currently paying for then just cut it all to the bone". I'll just look at my home weather station's "12hr weather forecast" function and stick with that at this point.

    Thanks LWX, critical analysis.

    Screw that, I'm ready for tree frogs, moths, and air conditioning. I'm also getting a whole-house humidifier in time for next winter.
  22. IronTy
    Well today sucks.
  23. IronTy
    What an awesome day. I cut down about 35 tulip trees to get ready for moth season and also did a ton of trimming. Was nice to get all that done without breaking a sweat.

    Eccentric heal drops are your friend. Try them off your stairs at home and then progress to one leg at a time. Achilles and calf injuries become more common at middle age, though actually tearing a calf muscle absent a traumatic injury is still pretty rare.

    It's just he next logical step in our transition to Idiocracy. Might be smart to buy PepsCo stock futures or stock up on Mountain Dew so you can arbitrage that shit in a few years.
