    Yea, this setup favor the I-81 corridor more than anyone else. Us low landers are probably going to just get some wet weather. At least my young grass will win out.

    True, but it's going to be spread out over several days, and with the reduced continental aircraft data we've been busting high on QPF forecasting by over 50% since March. As of now, it doesn't appear to be a widespread issue unless things change quickly.
  3. Eskimo Joe
    Hmmm, not as wet as I thought. The good thing is that long range QPF from NWP is terrible.
  4. Eskimo Joe
    Can't see exact numbers but the Euro looks wet.
  5. Eskimo Joe
    Now with that added context it makes more sense!

    Spring is warmer than winter, who knew.

    I posted about this last week. I can't remember a single spring where we didn't get a couple of backdoor cold fronts.

    You all do 24/48 in Arlington?

    Don't waste your time fishing it. It's shallow and fast moving.

    Do you have links to buy the equipment? How was the tower installed? How do you maintain the anenometer?
  12. Eskimo Joe
    Always bank on the backdoor front getting further SW than modeled.

    DC gained it (mostly) recently: https://wamu.org/story/16/03/25/dc_now_has_budget_autonomy_but_what_does_that_actually_mean/

    We have about a dozen tomato seedlings in a cold frame and will be putting them out this coming Saturday. We lost our tomato seedlings about 5 years ago in PA in early May to a rogue frost in York County and learned a big lesson.

    That is an amazing setup! Would you be able to elaborate on your instrumentation, placement and upkeep?

    States, counties and cities with rainy day funds will emerge with the least impact on tax burden on residents and businesses. DC is a prime example of this since they don't have full budget autonomy and get impacted pretty heavily during partial Fed shutdowns.

    Euro really loving the backdoor coldfront potential in the long range.

    How did everyone's garden fare? IMO, if we can make it to Wednesday I think our gardens are fine for the summer. Looks like I've lost some salvia and petunas in an elevated deck box but otherwise made out pretty well.

    Like clockwork, heavy precip showing up along the I-81 corridor.

    06z Euro pops a Bermuda(ish) high at HR144.

    So, a typical Mid Atlantic event then?

    Per LWX climo page, if I'm doing this correctly, all 3 terminals have had snow in May but only ever a trace: BWI, 5/9/1923 DCA, 5/10/1906 IAD, 5/1/1963 Note that IAD climo records don't go back as far as DCA and BWI.

    You count the type and number of birds you see and report them to the Audubon society I believe.
  24. Eskimo Joe
    It would be wild to go from snow to like mid 80s in 10 days.

    My grass seed rejoices.
