  1. This will be the latest I ever get my garden in! I really need a few dry days - hopefully coming up this week. I've got trays of milkweed, lantana, rue, annual vinca and sunpatiens ready to go. I had one black swallowtail chrysalis over the winter that hatched last week. Little fella
  2. Nice day again. It's weird looking at the temp map and seeing upper 80s/low 90s all the way past Montreal, while South Carolina is sitting in the 60s
  3. Very nice afternoon in the 70s and variable clouds. Going to be great walking weather in a little while. I can't believe the same low that detonated last weekend's weather is coming back to get us this weekend
  4. I don't have a gauge out but the Rainfall Map has me at 1.5 new overnight and 3.3 for the event. The grass is so green it glows LOL Sorry to anyone that had outside plans this weekend. Imagine couples that picked today for an outdoor wedding
  5. Some bits out of that disco with the obligatory why not February A strong, slow moving coastal storm That secondary low will continue to develop off the coast and sit with little movement Saturday into Sunday initial thump of overrunning precipitation As the coastal low spins up...frontogenetic precipitation on its northwest flank
  6. My maples are full leafed out now with not a single whirlybird seed. I can't believe it! Maybe it was that chainsaw stare I gave them last summer
  7. That back-door front sure gave us a "wedgie" but the sun is finally peaking out. WV is cooking with temps in the mid/upper 80s
  8. Low of 33. Looking forward to some beautiful weather starting today
  9. That's a great pic! I was in Calvert last weekend and saw a couple tigers. None up in upper MontCo yet
  10. WTOP has an article on the 20-year anniversary of the La Plata Tornado. What a monster that thing was
  11. Still just 44 at mid-day on April 28 with full sun. Impressive
  12. Overcast, 36 and breezy but the hummingbirds are undeterred and visiting both feeders
  13. Those were some impressive hail pics and videos! I was in Orlando in spring 1992 and there was an incredible storm that left hail inches deep in parts of that area. Breezy and cool today but looking forward to a nice Friday and Saturday
  14. I've seen pics of accumulated hail like that, but when you look at the woods in the distance they look bare like winter
  15. So I did a lot of complaining in this thread last year about the literal billions of helicopter seeds that the three maples in my back yard spew in every direction for weeks. (Huge mistake planting those darn things 20 years ago). Well this year they are going straight to leaves with no seeds at all! How did that happen? Maybe the very warm winter thus less stress on the trees? Talk about a pleasant surprise
  16. Mostly sunny in upper MontCo now what a beautiful afternoon! We visited Calvert yesterday and went to a restaurant on the bay in Herrington Harbor. It was near 80 at my parents' house on Rt 4 but it felt like the AC was running by that bay just a few miles away
  17. Wow check out those cams in the Frostburg area!
  18. Our hummingbird has been coming back and forth to the feeder despite temps starting in the upper 30s. Tough little bugger! I am looking forward to the warmth coming later this weeks as I really want to get my trays of flower seedlings back out in the sun
  19. Cloudy and 40 after starting in the upper 30s. April is always good for a Gulf low up the east coast, isn't it? I'll just do indoor stuff and salivate over next weekend's forecast!
  20. Hummingbirds arrived yesterday! Looking forward to hitting some garden centers over the next few weeks
  21. Today is gonna be great! I don't mind the chill coming because it's going to be raining anyway. Looking real nice again by mid next week It's officially spring for me as my hummingbirds have arrived
  22. North Beach, MD at 84 and a buoy just a couple miles out in the bay is 58 with wind of 18 mph! A toasty 84 in Germantown as well. I wish we could just average this and early next week temps
  23. Overall grade of D for upper Montgomery County, MD. Had several small snows for a winter total of around 12-ish, and was the third straight winter without a significant snow (6" or more). Hoping the "law of average" comes into play for next winter.
  24. Had a little sleet this morning and now it's sunny and 60! I looked at the obs map and saw 40s in Garrett Co while parts of WV not far away are in the 80s
