  1. Finally caught the edge of a storm and got around a third of an inch. But damn just 2-3 miles up the road from me has gotten two flush hits in three days.
  2. Last night was weird - the gust front produced winds of at least 50-55 mph and put numerous branches down all over the yard, including a few big ones, and snapped one of my potted plants. Then it did not rain a drop
  3. I finally got to see a thunderstorm with some good lightning while visiting my parents in northern Calvert. Prince Frederick got a flush hit with the Mesonet station there recording 1.19 but my place (blue dot) was just outside of it. So close though!
  4. Just went out for 15 minutes to move a few things and water my container plants and damn it's HOT!! Sunny and 90 with a dew of 73.
  5. I see what you did there! Our soil is definitely the most dire
  6. Look at this "yard" and long hot dry summer is just getting started. I could probably just put my mower away for the season. Sunny and 75 (that's the good part!)
  7. Nice start today with a breeze and 72. Looking forward to low/mid 80s for a couple of days before the big heat is back. Looking at possibly 100 on Thursday
  8. What even is a thunderstorm? Haven't seen one this year yet. I predict 0.00 rain total for june
  9. Huge snowstorms in this area were 1979, 1983, 1987, 1993 (some parts), 1996, 2000 (some parts), 2003, 2010 and 2016. We are way overdue for a home run monster.
  10. I think we are very dry through summer before finally turning to a wetter pattern in fall. That's why I have given up on getting a lawn going (new construction home finished in March). I will try again in September. I do expect a warm, wet winter which would be helpful.
  11. I hope that map you just posted isn't right! If we get only around a half inch of rainfall thru June 17, we will be in huge trouble around here. We're gonna start seeing wells dry up and wildfires
  12. Here are the rainfall totals since January for closest station to me (PAX River). We'd need to have over 2.5" per month above normal for each of those three months to break even for the year. Not likely. Jan: 2.87, departure of -0.04 Feb: 2.30, departure of -0.54 Mar: 1.63, departure of -2.37 Apr: 0.88, departure of -2.80 May: 1.51, departure of -1.92
  13. I've decided to give up on any gardening other than containers this year. This extreme drought is too much with almost a complete shutout for April and only 2.2 total for May. I expect Jun-Aug will be just as bad. Hopefully we get a wetter fall/winter and I will plan some garden beds for next spring. As for the lawn, I might try something in September if the super-drought is ending.
