I was on work travel to Flagstaff, AZ, this past week. Noticeable how much everything has greened up here. On a different note, I think Flagstaff has my ideal climate. Lots of snow and never really gets to 90.
With the Niña looking fairly weak, that gives me more tempered optimism than I had a few months ago. PDO looks about as bad as can be though…I think we probably get a 1-2 week wintry period at some point. Hopefully we can maximize it.
Had the windows open today for the first time in probably close to 2 months. Wish we could stay at this weather for August then start stepping down next month.
CoCoRaHS has a huge range over HoCo last few days. One closest to me seems lower than I’d guess, but I think there are some very big gradients over short distances.
It’s a lot patchier east of DC certainly. I think areas north of I70 and west of I83 have done pretty well. The rest of us are more hit and miss. Think I’m in the 2-2.5” range since Wednesday.
Broadleaf weeds are thriving in my lawn and everyone else’s. Grass all died or went dormant, then we get some rain and here come the weeds practically overnight.
