Since there are 70-foot trees close to the west side of our house, we'll skip the derecho but take the rainy late summer and fall that El Nino advertises. I gave up on the grass and will re-try in Sept. (The builder did the hydroseeding right before the Jan 25 snowcrete storm. I asked them to wait but it's a requirement for occupancy LOL)

0.05 total and less than a tenth combined with last weeks "rain event." I'm about ready to just give up on trying to get a new yard going. I don't expect any real rain until probably the fall.

Just 0.04, hoping for thunderstorms this evening

From LWX disco: "Possibility of someone being south of heavier axis Wed and north of axis on [Thu] resulting in local min in QPF." Beautiful evening though!

42 for the low which is good since I have sensitive stuff out. Looking forward to Monday/Tuesday nice weather! I hope I don't get another whiff on the rain midweek

Even before they started digging, the ground was hardpan, and even the surface soil when they started digging an orange/yellow mess. It was fully wooded so maybe that makes it worse? We plan to have some beds installed by tilling deep and mixing in lots of compost. The backyard is coming in OK. I want a chemical free backyard with clover, buttercups, cornflowers, etc. mixed in with the grass.

You have a nice setting! We've just moved to a new construction home and there's no topsoil at all - just hard, gravelly sand. Gardening is gonna be tough! Having an April with almost a shutout of rainfall didn't help

0.03 for me . Ironically, I watched ol' Germantown where I used to live (and complain about missing rain) getting a nice soaking on radar LOL. I think my April total is close to zero, maybe a couple tenths. I've never seen such a dry April and I'm trying to grow a brand-new lawn. Ooof

This weather is awful! Breezy, dark, stuck in the 40s, and a measly 0.02 of "rainfall." I got excited when the forecast had a half to three quarters of rain for overnight Saturday.

Nice, thanks for posting! That's about 2 miles WNW of my house. It's gonna be an adjustment for winters down here after 32 years of living in upper MoCo.

I'll take any rain I can get! I've been trying to establish a new lawn these last few weeks, and it has been tough

Whoa our Xfinity service down in southern Calvert has been down since 8:30 last night. Says “network damage” which doesn’t sound good! Got down to 34° with some frost and now up to 47°. Waiting for 50° to put the plants back out

Sunny with a light breeze and 70. This morning is great! The downside to this April is how dry it is, especially when I am trying to establish a new lawn. Sprinklers getting huge workouts

Man does Annapolis look good right now. North Beach looks good too at 76 I've got sun and 92

It's nice out in the sun when the wind stops blowing. I just looked at next week's temps. WHY?
