  1. Happy that I managed 0.3 before heading into the baking dry hot period coming up. It's more than I expected TBH
  2. Mean looking cell passed just south of me with the magenta radar returns. Wonder if any hail down there around Montgomery Village?
  3. Bone dry. Glad I watered everything last evening. Starting to think no rain at all here before going into the hot pattern coming up.
  4. That is one funny looking map -- MD to FL basking in low to mid 80s while northern New England bakes in upper 90s
  5. Oh they are gonna be insane this week when the heat, humidity and warm nights set in.
  6. Wife and daughter wanted to go for a walk despite dreary cold and asked is i going to rain and I say nah. Then this tiny little strip of rain forms over us right when they're out. Oops!
  7. Just think the average high for today is 79
  8. Love when they do that, or when I go out on the deck and they fly right to 1-2 feet from my face and eyeball me like they're saying "what are you doing on our deck?" Funny little buggers Can't believe we are looking at muggy and 80s with thunderstorms in a couple days
  9. No need to warm it up -- ruby throats love the cold nectar! My tropicals are also not liking this crap weather. Looks like another day locked in the low 50s. Looking forward to finally seeing sun tomorrow.
  10. The record low max for today at DCA is 58 and thought broken record for sure....until I noticed it was 59 just after midnight oh well. Look at these record low maxes all from 1907, yuuuuuk: June 1: 54 June 2: 53 June 11: 57 June 12: 62 June13: 59
  11. Oh man had one of those yesterday at the Dogfishead Alehouse in Gaithersburg, with a juicy bacon cheddar burger. Mmmmmm! Got right about 1.0 yesterday and last night which was way more than the 0.6 I expected. Just drizzle today and an incredibly cold 50 degrees.
  12. Ahhhh good ol' Mid Atlantic. Days of 80s and 90s, then FIFTIES and rain over Memorial Day Weekend, then back to sunny and 80s. We need the rain but the timing couldn't be worse for people. Nice morning out with partly sunny and 65
  13. Really need the rain after getting mostly missed yesterday with just 0.1. Point/click for Friday and Friday night has total of 1.25 to 1.75, so using the Central MD rainfall formula (50% of the low end amount) yields about 0.6 which would be decent. (That formula works for snow too). I don't like seeing the thunderstorm language creeping in though -- we need stratiform rain to do well here. T-storms will just dodge.
  14. Only 0.1 total as we do not do thunderstorms in Germantown but we have the stratiform rain coming Friday which we do well with.
  15. We're visiting family a couple miles north of Huntingtown on Monday. Should I bring a box of 'em?
  16. Got just under 0.5 in Germantown which was great. Hoping for 1.0 with the late week system and sun the rest of the weekend.
  17. I have three 40-50 foot maples in my back yard and my next-door neighbor has a 50-foot pin oak. I have no cicadas while they have shells all over the trunk of that tree, their deck, fence, etc. I also sat out yesterday and saw cicadas flying towards their tree one after another, like it was an airport.
  18. Had a decent shower a bit ago but hoping for more to get this pollen washed out. We won't get out of the 60s today but DCA was 80 just after midnight so that goes in the books as the very misleading "high" for the date. DCA got to 94 yesterday I feel for people that planned beach or pool parties this coming weekend with showers and highs upper 60s/low 70s, but that's what you get living in this area.
  19. Finally heard one in the yard briefly a while ago -- "PHAR oooooooh.....PHAR oooooooh" I wish we could trade the horrible annual cicadas for these
  20. It blew through Germantown at about 7 or 7:30 with some pretty big gusts and the temp dropped well down into the 70s. With the dry air it felt pretty cool.
  21. Wait a stinkin' minute -- this article on heat concerns for the summer olympics says that Tokyo's average temperatures in late July and early August are the highest for any host city going back to 1984. Are they saying Tokyo's summer temps are higher than Atlanta's (1996)? Hot Olympics
  22. Yeah it's pretty nice out there with the low humidity. I was looking at the NWS obs map and saw New River Bridge at 1 degree I clicked on it and found temps at -21 last night ha
  23. Gawd I hate those annual cicadas! I've had just two or three of them chase me in from enjoying time on our deck before. They were really persistent last summer.
  24. We had a pool growing up in Calvert and my parents still have it. It's really nice for summer family gatherings with their many grandkids. I remember doing grass cutting and weeding chores on a hot day as a kid then dropping into that pool Nestea plunge style
  25. Wow that's weird. Could it be road salt being pushed onto the grass and affecting the roots on that side of the trees? We get more salt accumulation than snow around here.
