  1. My gauge says 0.01" from overnight but maybe a squirrel dying of thirst hit it. This feels like a CA summer day with these high temps, low dews and winds. First legit drought I've had in the 11 years I've lived here. Yard is burned up. Some trees are starting to wilt. Watering isn't helping anything.
  2. I’m going to assume we’re in summer 1995 and push the last of my chips in for this winter. This is our last chance ever.
  3. Yep the same thing happened in my development. Builder stole everyone’s topsoil, rolled out sod over subsoil, removed all the trees…then everyone wonders why the grass dies after a year.
  4. Strawberry moon from my backyard tonight.
  5. Tiny shower over us- it finds every possible way to rain here.
  6. A trend I’ve noticed in the last 10-15 years now is that (for whatever reason) late May / early June often features our best weather of the year; sunny and cooler than average.
  7. The previous photo I posted, but adjusted even darker. This more closely approximates what it looked like in person. (I'm still learning photo editing)
  8. It doesn’t even matter if sunny is in the forecast anymore, I just assume every day will be cloudy and 60’s (like today yet again lol)
  9. LOL no… it’s been back to drizzling as usual
  10. I could just write “cloudy with drizzle, highs in the 60’s” for the Calvert forecast and be right probably about 300 days of the year now.
  11. It wasn’t supposed to rain here today but it is.
  12. I feel like the default all year now IMBY is 60's, clouds and rain. We're like the Pacific northwest now.
  13. Someone start a countdown thread for the mid-Atlantic: https://abcnews.go.com/amp/International/smoke-canadian-wildfires-reaches-us-minnesota-air-quality/story?id=110149929
  14. 100% clouds here and it sounds like it’s a bust for tonight anyway… punting and going all in for tomorrow hopefully.
  15. I can’t believe I’m fretting over clouds and checking hourly forecasts just a month after the eclipse. I thought I didn’t have to do this for at least another few years.
  16. We need to get Sunday night into Monday; that would be prime viewing IMBY.
  17. Nice clear skies here, can’t wait for the clouds to move in again tonight to ruin it again. This is like the universe’s payback for my lucky eclipse and Great Conjunction breaks lol
  18. This is worse than Boxing Day lol
  19. We're thinking of going to coastal Maine next March to try for this one at sunrise: https://www.timeanddate.com/eclipse/in/usa/portland-me?iso=20250329 Here's the whole map: No one gets totality but we're into partials too. :-) https://www.timeanddate.com/eclipse/map/2025-march-29 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_eclipse_of_March_29,_2025
  20. Took this at Sylvan Heights Bird Park in Scotland Neck, NC last week. This was our second time there and I highly recommend it. This is a Victoria Crowned Pigeon (one of our favorite birds).
  21. Imagine having code purple air quality alerts from the Canadian wildfire redux while looking at the forecast cone for category 5 Hurricane William coming up the Bay.
  22. Yeah I saw Play and Icelandair go direct from BWI to Reykjavik. Much shorter flight than I expected too! I may PM you with some questions at some point if you’re ok with that.
  23. We’re considering taking the clouds risk and going to iceland in 2026 anyway. I’ve never traveled internationally but it’s always been a country I’d like to see. The eclipse would just be a bonus.
