There was a storm in July that rained something like 10", I've only seen it rain that hard a few times. 2-5 miles down the road it was just heavy.

Yup, ironically enough the NPS announced a peak date of April 1 tonight (revised from 4/3-4/6). Seems like the city will eek out staying above 32 which is good.

I was thinking about it on the way in to work this morning and wondering how big a canopy your tree is. Have you ever considered spraying with water like they do for the orange crops, or even a kerosene heater under the canopy for nights like last night? It might be more important for NEBaltZen, but also thought about his magnolia too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not a cocorahs memeber, but yes, my total was 90.31". There should be an 80-100" dot where the August storm hit in central Calvert, but that's probably smaller than one pixel on that map.

Well, actually your numbers would help to 'verify' that record, so there is that. 88-90" is a PILE of moisture for one year. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GramaxRefugee Posted March 31 Cherry buds at my (wooded) end of the street are a long way from flower. I'll guess 2 weeks. The cherries on Mitchellville Rd were full bloom last week. Different hybrid, but still. 72 for my high today Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wxdude64 Posted March 31 A 72.7 high yesterday. I'll agree with losetoa6, almost too warm...we have 5+ months to put up with heat. Least next 24-48 hours look nice. Just enough rain last two early am's to put something in the gauge, 0.02 yesterday and 0.01 today. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
