Im getting more heavy tropical rain showers. My area is definitely doing well today. I'm sitting in my truck getting ready for a hike.

Yeah. It seems to like my area. Birds are chirping and the rain is steady. It's a really beautiful morning. Makes you appreciate where we live in the world.

I've had a hot hand since Monday. Mby has had steady moderate tropical rain since about 4am. The batch is just kinda sitting here over PG and Western AA. I like it. I'm sitting on my patio (undercover) and plotting on a day off lol.

Rain is here. Pouring out there this morning. Drought is over.

Tomorrow looks like a good shot at storms. I wasn't expecting the front to clear the area this week. It's beautiful out there today. Late yesterday it got nice when the breeze picked up. I was expecting drippy, humid, thundery afternoons every day this week.

I remember last week the forecast for this week was "rain chances all week". That basically turned into a few hours of rain Sunday evening and that’s it. Looks like a nice week. I wasn't expecting lower humidity and nice temps though. I'll take it i guess.

Models definitely missed this one. I was expecting any decent rain to stay west of DC today and tonight. It looks like a fire hose aimed at PG and AA county. I was expecting this to be over Frederick this evening

Damn. My NAM comment from earlier didn't age well lol. Radar looks amazing right now. Looks at that fetch of moisture.

True. It basically never has anything prior to an event. It certainly feels juicy out here.

The NAM says what rain today or tonight for DC and east. The storm to the west just goes north and hits the same ole flooded areas of NY.

Congrats to the west. It looks like a steady stream of heavy rain along the Blue Ridge. It's been since January since I've seen a juicy radar. Unfortunately that was sleet and 19 degrees lol

March first. My typo lol. It's an Airbnb. I'm just taking it for the entire winter. It's got the best location I've found out there. It's right near the famous snow town of Montague.

I'm pretty excited for winter. I'm one phone call away from closing a deal on a seasonal cabin rental at Barns Corner, NY. That's ground 0 on the Tug Hill. It's from Dec 1 to February 31. If my location isn't being hit directly I'll still be able to quickly get right where I'll need to be from base camp on the top of the hill. I won't be far from the Adirondacks if I need to get even higher up in elevation. Pretty exciting times.

I'd have them replace all the boards. You're place is beautiful. The reason I say this is because you need a non film forming woodstain (oil). These types of stain showcase the natural beauty of wood. New boards and old boards will have different levels of checking and coloration. You are correct about letting the wood dry. I like 13% or less on my moisture meter. That takes about 6 weeks this time of year. I'd wait 8 since your in the shade. Let's setup a free estimate sometime soon. We'll schedule it up for Oct. I have tons of experience and fair pricing. It's a little more humid this morning. I'm seeing lots of dew. I wanted to start staining at 7am but it's to damp this morning. What an awesome airmass we just had.

I'm going to be washing a house on Sunday at 11 right near your town. I'd love to come by and take a look. I've been restoring deck since 1997. I definitely have a few options. Send me a DM. It was super nice out today. It was a lovely day to be outside.
