Yeah but I don’t want to catch shrapnel.

It feels like soldiers in late April invading Germany...no one wants to be the last casualty before the war is over and people are saying to go walk across the minefield.

2021 Mid-Atlantic Garden, Lawn, and Other Green Stuff Thread
WxUSAF replied to mattie g's topic in Mid Atlantic
Bamboo is the worst. You probably need a landscaper. You could try a very thorough mechanical removal with some targeted roundup application yourself and see how things go? But you’ll eventually probably lose the battle. -
I get the “go out of you feel safe, stay home if not” but it’s very obviously not that straightforward. More community transmission increases the risk for everyone, not just people eating in restaurants or going to Os games. Again, we’re literally only another 6-10 weeks away from pretty high population immunity levels.

I’d be in favor of all domestic restrictions being lifted. I think international still makes some sense.
-
Yes. All this full lifting of restrictions now feels like spiking the ball on the 10 yard line. June 1 or July 1 and let rip I think.
-
It’s also up to the Orioles. Gov. Hogan said social distancing has to be maintained with all these restriction relaxations which is pretty much impossible with even 50% capacity at OPACY (let alone restaurants).

I've seen reports of them around already, so probably soon in your location if not already! Tree swallows also among some of the first migrants back into the area.

We have a few on the south side of our house that are close. But around the area, most daffodils aren’t particularly close to blooming.
-
Chickweed never stopped growing I think. Need colder temps to nuke it. Not as bad as last year though when I had mounds of it in all my mulch beds.

Down to 22.

Went fine. They were giving J&J vaccine today so she was happy she didn’t have to come back. Took her 1 hour from entering the prescreening tent to coming back out.
-
I drove an elderly neighbor to M&T Bank for her COVID vaccine and didn’t realize I’d have to wait outside for her. I didn’t dress for this

Last snowpile may not survive the day

@nw baltimore wx see @Mrs.Js comment about roof life. Tesla (at least) guarantees any damage the panels cause, but the panels actually extend the life of the shingles underneath them. I know many people with panels and none of had any issues with leaks, etc. If I had lots of $$, I would totally do a Tesla solar roof. But I don’t...
-
Not sure the times you worked on these, but certainly the older systems were less efficient and more costly. I did the lease, so I’m essentially just paying for the power monthly. They guarantee any repairs to the panels or the roof. It’s working out well. I did a lot of math before I did it and it will save me money in almost any circumstance over using the grid 100%.

Woo 45F rain!
-
I’ve been very pleased. Wish I had more roof area. I did the solar lease through solar city (now Tesla). Usually it produces all we need or nearly so from May-September more or less.
-
Today’s going to be my highest solar power production since September 23!!

That seems like an interesting and probably not difficult GCM experiment. Run the model with the same conditions a few times and just change the surface conditions (forested, farm, urban). I’d wager that’s been done. Wonder if anyone has determined how high the changed response extends. I’m sure it’s seasonally variable and I’d guess winter (due to generally higher wind speeds and reduced solar input) have the lowest “cap” to the UHI impact.

Love Box Hill crab cakes.

True. Still not much concrete at 850.
