  1. My garden is shot too, just the pumpkins, beets and collards are left.
  2. Nino and blocking are key here, especially south of I-66.
  3. Judah Cohen is about as useful and reliable as JB and DT.
  4. Some purists say a 3:1 during the start and end of the season for the higher sugar content, then taper to a 4:1 during the "normal" summer. I have kept a little harem of birds around for 2 years with my 3:1 ratio.
  5. Ditto on the Lantana and Milkweed recommendation. Also, put a hummingbird feeder on a pole there with a 3:1 (water:sugar) ratio and you'll have some great bird action all summer and into mid autumn.
  6. It's amazing how terrible US media is. They hype things up with trash articles like this and then wonder why no one takes them seriously.
  7. Yup. The previous owners were old and let part of the back yard go. We've been cleaning it up but it seems to be an endless task.
  8. Pulled 13 bags of hedges and old bushes off the lawn this weekend. I just dont have the time this year for lawn maintenance so I opted for TruGreens reseeding, aeration and feeding program this year. I hope it bolsters the lawn.
  9. Hope this is a sign of a good winter. Like 2009 - 2010 level good but a bit colder.
  10. At noon today it was 52 degrees in Garrett County and nearly 90 degrees in St. Marys County. In August.
  11. River levels are low which can be good for fishing as it holes the fish up. Hoping to hit up the Monocacy this weekend. Also...DCA and BWI notch another 90°.
  12. Convective temp on the 12z IAD RAOB was 93° and we're hitting the 95-97 degree range regionwide. Should see more stuff start to pop,
  13. The cells just west of Moorefield, WV and north of Forks of Cacapon, WV look healthy.
  14. Yup. Reminds me of August 2016.
  15. DCA and BWI appear to have both notched 95° today.
  16. Looks like a cell popping up in Charles County along some kind of surface convergence. Quick uptick in CG with it as well.
  17. I just managed to get a copy of AWIPS II to work on my laptop...just in time for some woostorms
  18. August heat is always the biggest heat. We seem to consistently seem to overperform.
  19. It's 97° at BWI, Warrenton and Manassas. Southern St. Marys County at 96°...probably could use a heat advisory.
  20. Yea I'm in New Windsor at the fire department and it's all been to our south.
  21. Legit light show just to my south.
  22. 43kts at ~1000 ft over Point of Rocks
