    I may hate this more than stormtracker hates cicadas. It looks like someone vomited over dog food and put it on a plate.

  2. They only need a soil temp of 64 degrees to emerge. That could be in March if it's warm enough. Never lived through one of these, but I was actually in DC in 2004 (not living in the area) and remember them. You couldn't walk down the sidewalk without running into one.

    The source for me is almost completely on the back side of my property, and is maybe an acre of area at its most expansive, so as long as I do the work in early Spring, I can pretty much mitigate an awful summer of skeeters. It usually dries up by early summer.  Last year I did get the late summer tiger bastards, but that was a function of the incredible above normal wet period we had east of I-95.

    Those tiger mosquitos are awful, and totally unavoidable in a suburban neighborhood like mine. We literally don’t go outside in our yard in the summer and they still follow us the house

    Not happening.  If we had a good H5 vortex passage it would work, but we don't, so the only decent vertical motion will be with convection offshore.

    This is the type of stuff I wish I understood about weather, but don't.

    0z NAM showed the possibility of a sliver of precip making it up here by morning, but I'm not counting on it. 

  5. I'll stick with the safe forecast - something may or may not fall out of the sky in the next few days. 

    Obs? Sun and cold. Should drop below freezing pretty quick. 

    Radar? Looks like there is precip in western TN, so nothing is getting here too quick. NAM says start time tomorrow morning. I'll believe that.

  6. It’s interesting how these crazy cold shots come down so far south in the middle of the country. I would think that the Gulf of Mexico would help moderate temps in places like Houston, but apparently not or not always? 

    I read recently that in 1895 there was snow as far south as Tampico, MX. 

    Seems like the Atlantic (or maybe our longitude) is our worst enemy here in the mid Atlantic
