    Reminds me of living in the Bay Area

    Dude I was just at my piano teacher's house in the pax river side of Calvert and my car thermometer said 76F when I left her house.  7mi east on the bay side at my house it is 61F, 15 degrees colder!!  Went from AC to heated seats during the ride home.  

  2. Fuck the marine flow this year.  It's been brutal.  Driving home from work going through Prince Frederick it was 68F and sunny.  3mi to the east at my house it's cloudy and 57F.

    Notably missing this Spring is the sound of peepers, which usually starts in late Feb.  So dry.

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

    West to east precipitation i would agree. The front isn't blasting through and the storms and rain looks like it's training from south to north. Someone will probably get a soaker.

    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.

    Wondering if it’ll even rain here today. Only a trace so far. Been a beautiful day temp-wise…and not that overly windy so far, though that’ll change once the front moves thru.

    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.

    I remember liking the Feb 10-12 window 8-10 days out, and also something around PD. That storm happened a couple days later and ofc was a close miss to the south. Like Psu I did think there would be a chance or 2 beyond that, but I never saw it as some great window, not with the forecast +AO/NAO and uncertainty in the Pacific.

    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...

  7. 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.  

  8. 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.

  9. 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.

  10. 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.

    23 approaching 9pm.

    Cranked up the wood stove. Probably the last time this winter/early Spring.

    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.

    Budget cuts. I guess I'll just watch the sky and hope for rain lol

    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.

    :axe:  (from this afternoon AFD from LWX for the weekend)

    Our region
    could see anything from heavy rain, to perhaps even some areas
    seeing heavy snow, or this system could just straight up miss the
    area entirely.
    
     

    Thanks LWX, critical analysis.
