Most all is green in my area of Frederick. Oddly enough have a few trees that are struggling to leaf out from bud stage on the tree line behind my house. Where I noticed the lack of rain is when mulching my front beds yesterday with my perennials the dirt is dry and compact.

Looking back my station logged 2.52” for the month of April. On the 1st 0.38”, 5th 0.73”, 19th 0.47”, 25th 0.22” and on the 29th 0.59”.

Glorious day today though. Out on the deck eating lunch. Wind is a bit wild though and thinking the table umbrella needs to come down. Stalking DC weather for Saturday as the older Ms. J is graduating from college. Graduation is indoors but would be nice for a bit of sun. She is in the 9 am graduation slot. 

I'm wondering at what point do we call our area the New Windy City?  I'm surprised at the low dews today...was thinking it would be a humid 80 with the rain chances tomorrow.  It goes to show how quickly we can flip flop between dry and humid.

A stunner of an evening, love this breeze.

I know.. ugh. Trying to softwash a 40' tall house in the never ending 30 mph wind is always a real pain in the a$$. Ever since March 1 it's been cold and windy or hot and windy lol

Warmer global temps = more instability = more wind
