  1. Wish I hadn't opened this thread. I was blissfully unaware it was steamy everywhere else. Just assumed it was cold and terrible region-wide.
  2. Big X1.4 flare today with excellent CME. Combined with the other 2 enroute CME's, there should be some pretty great auroras behind the clouds the next few nights. Face of the sun reminds me 2001 again. Lot of big active spots.
  3. I'd probably have to buy new buckets... lol. Someone must have left a lot of food in a trashcan somewhere, because over the last few years the squirrels have since gnawed holes in virtually every bucket shaped thing I have. Even a gas can. I don't get it.
  4. Wonder what the thunder from all that would sound like? Nice find.
  5. I don't keep the best records, but I can't think of any other year when my backyard was virtually snow free by March 25th. Kind of wild to compare now to this time in 2008.
  6. Never in my entire gardening career have I suffered more loss to rodents than this year. A nearly 30 foot long section of the wall garden is totally destroyed. Tiger lily bulbs were chopped into bits, hollyhocks gone, echinacea gone, iris, butterfly weed, everything is just gone. The number of perennials I have has creeped up over the years. Definitely starting to remember why I initially did nothing but annuals. The second photo shows a lovely "carpet" of echinacea roots neatly laid out inside of a pathway.
  7. Wtf? Never seen my window corner spiders wake up so early. They like to hide behind my shutters.
  8. I was feeling pretty smug out there strolling around my paved driveway today.
  9. Today was the first day this year where the sun was strong enough to warm up my house a full 2 degrees above the thermostat setting. Also had lots of peter peter from the titmouses.
  10. I'm a little late but just wanted to add that >70 dews are a gift from the heavens. I mean it's hard to say you're having a decent life if your sunglasses don't fog up when you walk outside.
  11. That last picture... wtf? Hard to imagine a more ridiculous use of small, randomly arranged windows.
  12. LOL holy shit... wind went from zero to omg in about 20 seconds. Lights flickering again. I moved a lot of stuff into the greenhouse today, so if I lose power I'll be kind of annoyed.
  13. Lights just flickered even though the wind is back to nearly calm. Two different power outages show up on the outage map within a couple miles of me. Rather surprising.
  14. Line came through with 45 seconds of heavy rain and a gust to 31mph.
  15. I wouldn't mind a nice damaging storm but will settle for aggravation and disappointment instead.
  16. It's fun to see the reactions the stuff gets. My windmill palm is 12' tall now. Many guests think it's fake or just in a pot set in the ground. Kind of puts me on tilt when people walk by it so they can then take a selfie with some of my lame sunflowers. I remember being a kid on the school bus and noticing my yard would always have BY FAR the most snow. I'd be sledding well into April while daffodils would be blooming in town. My warmup-proof, gently sloped NW facing yard really served me well.
