76 with full sun at 11 am on July 11 is fantastic! Got some good gardening done this morning. Looking ahead is mostly 80s with maybe near 90 a couple days. One of my son's friends just moved to Austin and is in shock over the temps there.
0.06 overnight and still no decent rain for many weeks here. Just got my new irrigation system that will make watering the garden much easier. Looks like I'll get to use it today here in Maryland's desert.
I watered the garden knowing we'd miss out again. I got a brief shower, then this solid line formed just east and moved NE. It's like clockwork. Just got a nice new irrigation system today that will be so nice to install and avoid fighting gnats, mosquitos and tumbleweeds to water the garden.
That's OK Getting our old fence replaced today so we need the Germantown shield. Watching them dig the new holes and man it's dry down deep.
Tough folks as the sun's out and the HX is 90
My point/click has a high of 79 on Sunday with sun. How's that for mid-July!
Hoping for rain for my parched yard this evening, but wouldn't be surprised to get shut out for the whole week
Just incredible. Missed a storm just north earlier, then just south now. To add insult, a new part blew up a mile east and moved off. I'll be out tomorrow morning watering my parched, cracked hard garden beds. Germandesert in full summer mode
Time for a new gauge! A couple weeks ago my gauge had an inch when the iweathernet rainfall map had less than 0.5. Now for yesterday's event, iweather's map says 0.64 which correlates with amounts in that CoCoRaHS map above, and that darn gauge has 1.1
I think the dang thing might be metric but I don't see any markings saying so. Heck with it I'll just go by that map
Managed 0.64 which is decent but was hoping for 1.0 for the dry ground. Much heavier amounts close by in all directions. That's Germandesert in summer!
The Germantown shield is active today with everything dodging just west right as it arrives. This one looked like a can't-miss, until it did. I won't be shocked if I have to water stuff tomorrow
First shot as we are catching the edge of that cluster passing through western MontCo. I am hoping for an inch total as we've been dry and my lawn feels like concrete when walking on it.
Got a patch of clouds, some gusty winds, and it's 69 degrees at 2 pm near on June 18. Unbelievable! Gonna sip beer and cook out tonight with jeans and long-sleeve shirt LOL
