North Balti Zen

Turns out it was a nesting pair so we got quite a show that evening and in the morning. So very cool.

Woo! staying at an air bnb just south of downtown Annapolis that is right on the water (quiet waters park area if you know the general spot) and there is an osprey nest on a pole about 20 feet out in the water and he/she is active and been watching him/her fly like maybe 10 feet off the ground right by us as it circles the water. So very very cool. Also, house next door has a martin house and like 50-100 purple martins doing their thing there so two more birds for the life list. Gorgeous night now that the drizzle has passed here - nice breeze and lapping water. oh, and we saw two dolphins to boot a little bit ago. Magic evening.

One of the years tho...he will be right. Maybe. Let's go for this one.

Maybe slightly breaking the curse - 15 minutes of torrential rain just after 6 last night - nothing after that but will take what I can get.

Surprised how humid it still was this AM. Thought cooler feeling air would have filtered in behind the rain, not yet I guess. Monkton took a really nice hit from the storm between 6 and 7 - thor style cloud to ground lightning strikes and torrential tropical feeling rain for about 15-20 minutes. I don't think it rained much after that but things do look a little more tan than deep brown in the yard this morning, so, progress. Need more rain tho.

sure, sure, that checks out. Can probably take that one to the bank then.

Gonna go crawl into a hole to stop being seen. Gonna take such a series of Ls when the family sees that...

Oh no. Oh, no. https://x.com/wx_woods/status/1813390027386413080?s=46&t=rKRo5ildsXjOFWkYH7wDlg

Any way to squeeze up to around a 102 for Dulles?

Lucked into ten minutes of downpour here - will take what I can get…

Boom for the summer contest for me

Really felt like an important game to pull out of the fire to go into the break not on a long losing streak.

As someone who has a 103 at bwi for the summer contest wondering if this is the day to make a run at that guess

Is the Wednesday rain threat legit?

Finally getting hit flush. Measurable rain out of this.

I watered again.

Up my way in northern balt county? Not banking on that

Given the dryness, I am close to that level of weather irritated.

We have a drought thread for a reason…

We've earned it. We are a drought area now.

this is really awful.

Radar splitting my area all AM but looks to consolidate this afternoon over northern Balt county. God I hope so.

Not gonna hold my breath…said “eff it” and went ahead and watered as usual the flowers and garden this AM.

Really bad start here - drizzle for five minutes then nothing.

Good deal. Need this to back well to the west for all of our comforts and to get the Frederick and Loudon crews into the rain. Wish we could will it far enough west for the I-81 crew but that may be asking too much...
