  1. My greatest dislike of the reasonably priced wx stations. RH instead of DP. (outdoor) On my list, DP is a must-have.
  2. Had one that wouldn't stop chewing on the hummingbird feeder. Trapped it in a live trap and released it across the river. (And warned it about my 3 strike policy). That's all it took. We have many squirrels here, but only that one psycho case ever bothered the feeder. They're not all alike.
  3. Yesterday hi 94f, hottest of the summer here. Very gusty t-storm driving through Bowie about 17:45. Plenty of rolling thunder. Only 0.14 rainfall. 3 live branches down; more dead ones. Most active summer day here, I think.
  4. 75 at sunrise. Gonna be hot unless we get cloud cover. (Just MHO) Dp 73 and climbing
  5. This thread title is like clik bait for Mid Atlantic forum. (I knew I shouldn't have looked. )
  6. DP 63 at my house near the swamp this morning. Impressive for July.
  7. Raining like a hound dog in Mitchellville. T&L also.
  8. Been getting significant thunder to my noreast for hour or more, but still dry here. Temp fell to 81. Radar shows it, more or less. Been working on the truck out in the driveway, so rushing to button it up and pick up my tools.
  9. Somehow only made it up to 86f today. Possibly due to significant clouds at the warmest times. Also getting steady over-water breeze. Drove down to a dock bar in Deale for dinner and the water is piling up into the shore. Fairly cool too. But we still have our trademark humidity. Currently 80/78 Received 0.62 rain overnight but nothing since.
  10. Managed to get 0.66" overnight, (after midnight), but guess I slept right through it. Starting off with high lo (74) and plenty humid. Yesterday's hi was 88.
  11. Fairly gusty t-storm first hit about 8:10pm, but only about a tenth of rain. Still getting random rumbles and bits of rain. 90f for the hi today.
  12. 4th straight day of significant rainfall here. Today's the lowest at 0.21 (so far). Plenty humid.
  13. Just getting a reasonably noisy T-storm in Mitchellville. Heavy rain, about 16:45L
  14. Breezy rain just getting started in Mitchellville, 3:15 L. Under fairly dark clouds.
  15. Just getting grazed by T-storm here now. Plenty of T/L, but sorta passing to our north.
  16. DT did, further back than that. (Sorry, no link but most of us can imagine it, in his entertaining style of writing. ) And that's the thing. These patterns just come along and always have. I'm old. I remember. (Except when I don't. Sorry, I'm old)
  17. Emptied 1.18 from the gauge. Evidence of wind, small green branches down.
  18. wife reports pellets hitting the skylight at my home station. now just heavy rain.
  19. Downpour finally hitting here in Mitchellville at 3:20. We were dry-slotting here for a while.
  20. Quite possible. Install 4 different units around your site and get 4 different readings. We have so much nice gadgetry these days that it's tempting to unpack the box and expect it to be right. But it's often not. I had a met friend in the old days who had , (at one time) 15 instrument shelters in his yard in Burtonsville. Learned a lot.
  21. Lunch break measure in Mitchellville = 2.5" total with sleet falling.
  22. SN+ in Mitchellville, PGCo (after a later start than most of ya'll. About 6:40 first flake.)
  23. 1.5 " here. Drove out about 7:15 all roads snowy. Return 9:00 and starting to get salt water slush in many places. One car slid off of Rte 424..
