    Per the 5 min obs, the 100° at Stafford (KRMN) is legit.

    99 at the Inner Harbor...nice

    100 at Stafford 97 at Leesburg (JYO), Dulles (IAD), Webste Naval Air Station (KNUI), and Baltimore (BWI) Really glad we spiked over the convective temp w/o it clouding over too much. I always hate heat ruined by clouds in the afternoon.
  5. Eskimo Joe
    Several stations hitting heat warning criteria.

    90/81 on Tangier Island, VA. Nice.

    Td is only 66° though...wonder if they really mixed out there?
  8. Eskimo Joe
    Good. I'd like to see us roast. It's what summer should do.

    HI of 98° in Westminster...you know it's getting warm when the exurbs are pushing 100° at noon.
  10. Eskimo Joe
    Yup. Already have a small CU field in Gaithersburg.

    12z RAOB from IAD has a convective temp of 93°. Not sure we get above 95 degrees outside the urban centers. It would be interesting to see how many days IAD, BWI and DCA average with a high above 95 and how we compare so far this year.

    No problem. Living in NW Baltimore County we also have the clay soil. Tilling in the stuff that I mentioned above (i edited the post to include a link) will go far. The best thing is that $40 gets you 8 bags even when it's not on sale.
  13. Eskimo Joe
    Yes

    True, also it's not terrible far from the Potomac River. The Td is right in line with surrounding sites and EZF is hot too which is why I initially didn't discount the reading.
  15. Eskimo Joe
    Huh, well then it's likely suspect.

    14:00 on 7/16/19: Baltimore Inner Harbor (KDMH): 97/72 Stafford, VA (KRMN): 99/72 Fredericksburg, VA (KEZF): 95/73 RMN and EZF are both reporting full sun and have west or southwest winds, while we have some filtered high clouds so the higher temps aren't unbelievable, IMO.

    Two great, cheap sources of organic matter to loosen tough clay or shale soil are mushroom compost and leaf mold. You can buy them at a garden store and they come in 2 or 3 ft^3 bags for about $2.50 a bag. Purchase them in March and fork or till the material in. If you do this every year or every other year you'll notice that over the course of 2 to 3 years your soil will dramatically improve. EDIT: This is the leaf gro. Amazing stuff: https://www.lowes.com/pd/Leafgro-40-lb-Compost/3152593

    Need to watch this for 100° in DCA/IAD/BWI. We need widespread +25° at 850 to really maximize our potential.

    The old adage is, "One years seeds are three years weeds."

    Going to be hard to get 100 with dews above 72 degrees. We'll need 850/925 temps and no afternoon crap clouds. Hope we get it though.

    Went to the Beaver Dam Swim club in Cockeysville yesterday. It's an old marble quarry and a damn shame you can't fish a small portion of it. Saw a school of about bass about 17" - 20" cruising one section. Tons of huge panfish too.
  22. Eskimo Joe
    Really excited for this heat coming up. It should yield some great evening bass fishing up in Carroll County. Anyone here try the Whopper Plopper? Looking at getting a few and trying them out this summer.
  23. Eskimo Joe
    Raging +NAO all winter

    Hope we bake this week. Bring it on.
