    Not too late to get a butterfly garden started! Get a couple butterfly bushes (I recommend "Miss Violet" - just 3-4 feet, full and nice purple color), a couple lantana, some zinnias and annual vinca from the garden center around mid-May. Deer and rabbits will mostly leave all of those things alone, and the annual vinca flower all the way to frost. If you want monarch caterpillars, look for some milkweed plants. 33 when I got up in Germantown -- no ice on the birdbath but some frost. Snow for our NE forum folks huh? They can have it.

    Still raining with thunder in Germantown with clear blue sky to the west. Was pretty wild for a couple minutes with torrential rain blowing in sheets.
  3. BlizzardNole
    Main line is approaching and I'm hearing lots of thunder with this one.
  4. BlizzardNole
    Really pouring now, but no thunder. Darn gutter is already clogged again.

    I'm just NE of Germantown -- just some mod/hvy rain so far. I don't like that hooky looking part on the SW end of that cell.

    Congrats! I see how close it is to Mt. Washington -- always a hoot to get the point-and-click forecast from the top of that thing. Surprised to find a thin layer of ice on top of the bird bath this morning. Looking forward to some sun this weekend, and maybe some wild weather on Monday.

    Sleet/freezing rain near Germantown, 30 degrees.
  8. BlizzardNole
    Light snow and 30 near Germantown. What's going on near Hagerstown? Nice looking radar up there.
  9. BlizzardNole
    I fully expect that to happen. We'll get an ideal pattern and a couple coastals to give us low 40s and rain in late April/early May. 27 and cloudy.

    I told family, friends and co-workers that last Tuesday's snow might be the only one of the winter. I hope I get shamed mercilessly.

    1.5" for Milestone area of Germantown

    Wow that is a great pic! I love our cardinals and recently learned that they typically live their whole lifespan (up to 10 years or more) within just a mile or so radius of where they were born, and mate for life. We get a kick out of watching our male feed his mate seeds beak to beak. I thought we were done, but radar sure built back! Closing in on an inch.
  13. BlizzardNole
    Just about over in Germantown, looks about a half inch. Given the winter we are in, I was just happy to see snow falling!
  14. BlizzardNole
    Got about 1 inch here (two miles NE of Germantown); 33 degrees. Got a short period of sleet, and now very light rain. Shout out to Radarscope -- that precip depiction is really accurate showing the changeovers.

    One of my wife's coworkers lives in Manchester and texts us when it snows, like this morning. Can you imagine what that spot would be like if it was 2,000 feet?

    Just had some light flurries in Germantown. I thought "what the heck" because the sun was out with mostly clear skies out my window looking south. A cloud just floated overhead and dropped some flakes.

    Very nice! I have a couple chrysalises that will hatch in a few days. We are getting to the time when I will start finding them on the fence, house siding, etc. I am definitely doing the dill, fennel and parsley next summer.
  18. BlizzardNole
    I've been thinking of adding dill, fennel and parsley to my butterfly garden for black swallowtails but haven't tried it yet. I get lots of Monarch caterpillars with the tropical milkweed, and all kinds of butterflies nectar on that stuff. Hummingbirds love it too. Have you seen any black swallowtail caterpillars on the herbs?
  19. BlizzardNole
    Only 0.2 for me.
  20. BlizzardNole
    At work in DC a few blocks from Union Station and barely missed the nice-looking cell to my north. Looks like lots of lightning on Radarscope with it. DARN!
  21. BlizzardNole
    I remember hearing about people on I-70 getting caught from behind by that derecho because it was moving so fast. That is crazy.
  22. BlizzardNole
    Hope everyone is staying safe amid all the severe weather and flooding. Remain vigilant!
  23. BlizzardNole
    Alright sun coming back out and it's 77/66. Need to build up come instability.
  24. BlizzardNole
    Wasn't expecting overcast and light rain at mid-day. Does this impeded severe chances for later today? I am coming out from under my weather blocking shield and going to Gaithersburg for dinner, and am hoping to see a thunderstorm.
  25. BlizzardNole
    Nice video ge0 - thanks for posting! Hard to believe that's so close -- I am just N of the intersection of 355 and Rt 27 and got 0.15 of rain and nothing else. Clarksburg just as close to my north got a strong storm too. This spot and Stephens City are uncanny.
