  1. My little rhyme yielded me 0.02 inches so far. More incoming. Roads are wet. Allergies have been kicking my family's collective tails for the past 4 weeks. I'm not sure this light rain will help. We need a moderate rain for like 4 hours.
  2. OMG! Is that rain I see? Coming after me, so auspiciously! It looks incredible. So large on the radar with lots of greens and yellows. I think it might rain gals and fellows. Why am I rhyming? Is it because rain chances are climbing? What a Monday morning treat! Let me take my seat, and listen to the pitter-patter of little raindrop feet.
  3. Can this be true? Rain? My radar app alerted me for the first time in a month about an impending rain shower. Will it reach me? Will it ghost me? Will it skip over me? Juke around me? And if this rain should fall, wil the ground hiss from the contact of this blessed moisture? I'm intrigued.
  4. Dry as the Sahara. There’s got to be a fire danger. This is a lawn-lovers nightmare. .
  5. I got no rain. Again. Dorian. Please help. .
  6. How many people have decided to install Zoysia grass? I learned from some people in NC that Zoysia grass is great for drought-prone areas. Our area is not necessarily known for droughts, but I think it would be nice to have when we get these hot dry spells that last for a few weeks that turns regular fescue brown. I hear Zoysia maintains it's color. Now, I have an established tall fescue lawn, if I started Zoysia seeding this fall, I'm assuming it will take a few years before the Zoysia grass takes over? Or would I need to dig up my current lawn and start fresh with Zoysia?
  7. It got warned eventually. At long last a direct hit. .
  8. St. Charles county is going to get some good rains. Meanwhile, I just heard a rumble of thunder from that shower over Palmer Park. Bone dry still over my house. No rain yet.
  9. No wonder people who love weather wait until winter. lol
  10. 84F with a dew point of 73. I'm optimistic that we'll get something. A strong front is coming through. If I get nothing out of today, you may want to check in on me tomorrow to see if I'm still sane. lol
  11. Sitting at 88F with a dewpoint of 71. Didn't expect so much sun today. It almost looks like a high pressure sky.
  12. Today was awesome! .06 on the gauge for today with faint distant rumbles of thunder! Win! Two more days left of potential severe? There better be basktball-sized hail on Thursday.
  13. That cell approaching Warrenton looks like it could grow big and nasty in the next 30 minutes.
  14. I'm sitting at 88F. I'm not so sure it is because of a lack of heating. I thought there were disturbances that would kick off storms? Perhaps whatever is at the VA/NC border is stealing all of the dynamics from our area? Or is that feature supposed to cycle through our area after 8pm tonight? It looks to be moving north.
  15. Looks like the Richmond area will be rockin again today.
  16. I'm already up to 84.7F THe sun disappeared on me. But I would think that would be just fine for today's threat.
  17. I see sun and blue sky in Adelphi. 82.2F. Dewpoint is 74. I'd imagine that's enough to get some storms going. 87 shouldn't be too hard to reach in a few hours if it stays partly cloudy.
  18. Looks like storms are gearing up for a strike at the Richmond area. Waiting for some reds to show up west of Front Royal.
  19. Seeing patches of brown in my lawn. It's getting serious. Time for some soaking rains. Hope this stretch of 4 days of rain does the trick if my lawn is to survive the rest of the summer. Hail and wind I can do without though. :-)
  20. I've been in but have been left out. I'm becoming cynical. lol Meanwhile, Columbia gets tornadoes and LaPlata doesn't. Dogs and cats must be living together watching pigs fly overhead.
  21. Sorry to hear about the flying ants. Glad you got most of your lawn back. To be honest, I'm just complaining about maybe 10% of my lawn. But its curb appeal ya know. :-)
  22. I'm ready for HUrricane tracking now. I'm done staring at radar hoping for drops of rain to feed my baby grass. I'll just replant in the fall. Bring on the big storms!
  23. Yay Richmond and eastern shore? There's a yellow approaching DC. May get thunder! Woo hoo!
