    My hopes for some sun today are fading as cloud deck has quickly moved in. I hope this is the last cloudy chilly day.

    If the 6-10 day and 8-14 day forecast are on the right track with above average temps thru mid-month, we should be safe to plant tender annuals this weekend. Finally!

    Had a quick shower and now some peeks of sun. Just want to get the next couple days of crappy weather (aka Maryland spring weather) over with and hope the weekend forecast holds

    Sky starting to lighten up and 60 degrees. Does this afternoon end up like yesterday with surprise sunshine? Looks like I got about 0.5 which puts me at near 2 inches since Friday. That's perfect

    Welp... , here we go again? (from LWX disco): Additional shower chances are expected Friday and Saturday as another wave of low pressure and resultant trough settle into the region. My Huntingtown sister and fam went to OC MD this weekend for kite weekend Accg to maps and nearby reports got about 0.44 overnight to push total to about 1.55 which is perfect especially how spread out it was. Temp seemingly locked at 51

    All we need is the pivot!

    Dry slot into southern VA. Lots of bright orange in central VA moving north -- are they mixing? 53 and light rain here, waiting for heavier stuff. Oh and the maple seeds have clogged the gutter

    I've been watching that as we have a big family event Saturday -- it's looking more and more like we get a break in the rain during the day, and maybe if we're lucky we'll have a few peeks of sun. Temps look nice

    Agree also. I'm in a bit of a micro-climate where higher elevations from my W around to my NE result in a "shadow" effect where lines and clusters of spring/summer thunderstorms frequently miss or split around. I need to cash in on this synoptic rain

    What do you use as host plants to get so many chrysalises? I had a couple clumps of rue and am thinking of adding parsley

    Now I've got three black swallowtails hatched and one more to go. It's just too cold to release them today and with the big, cold rain coming I am thinking about holding them for a few days. Bad timing for them

    35 with a little frost here and there. Brought all plants in last night I am hoping for 2 inches total in this rain coming up

    Had our first on April 22 -- a male. My parents in Calvert saw their first one the same day and said it was the fourth straight year that they saw their first hummingbird on April 22.

    Don't have a gauge but looks like a little more than a half inch based on rainfall maps and local reports. That helps but need more! I hate to do this but I'm hoping for a long duration stratiform rain later this week with one of those southern stream systems. Bright and sunny and 49

    Got a good looking line heading in with some lightning. Got both pollen-encrusted cars out in the driveway with some car soap squirted on 'em
  16. BlizzardNole
    Nice morning out now with breeze and 60s. Really need rain bad as the last few chances missed and my yard is like concrete and everything is pollen encrusted. I'm a little worried as this is lines and cluster of thunderstorms which almost always miss this area. I need a long duration synoptic rain to cash in.
  17. BlizzardNole
    Wow got down to 35. Close call for some plants I left out
  18. BlizzardNole
    Overcast creeping in keeping temps down a little - will make for a nice walk in a bit. They are cooking up in New Eng with multiple low/mid 90s I hope we can score some rain tonight
  19. BlizzardNole
    Very nice! I have 5 black swallowtail chrysalises and am keeping them in a cool part of the house hoping they'll wait a few more weeks.
  20. BlizzardNole
    Went for a walk - whew it's hot! Some of the temps near water are wild to see -- 60 at Rehoboth and mid-80s a few miles inland; 83 on Kent Island and 63 just across the bridge (4 miles)
  21. BlizzardNole
    Still 80 at almost 9 pm! I have a lot of weeding and garden prep to do this weekend and I'll be wearing a jacket LOL
  22. BlizzardNole
    Those are some impressive gusts! Dulles at 68 whoa We have a 3-4" thick, 12 foot long branch down from one of our trash trees (maples). Glad it didn't hit anything
  23. BlizzardNole
    I've noticed the maple trees seem more loaded than ever with seeds. Mine are completely covered and I'm not looking forward to the onslaught. Just driving around you see clusters of maples decked out in reddish/brown seeds.
  24. BlizzardNole
    Jealous of those 70s in WV and even SW PA
  25. BlizzardNole
    Quite bit of the area at just 25-50% of normal over the last 30 days. We will need a couple good rainmakers in April. Eastern NC looking really crispy
