  1. As someone who regularly grows heirloom tomatoes, I have found it best to mix in some bone meal when planting tomatoes as it provides magnesium and calcium for the young plant. This mitigates the chance for blossom end rot. About two weeks after planting, I snake a drip hose through my bed, tack it to the soil with lawn pins and then cover everything with straw. The straw significantly reduces the splashing of rain and soil onto the lower parts of the plant and reduces the chance for fungus.
  2. Likely HAARP and wind turbines...major gov interference! /chuck
  3. Need nationwide phased array radar.
  4. Lack of good regional planning.
  5. Ready for the 90s and sun plz. My garden needs it.
  6. Wow thank you for the update. One techy, semi geek question. Qho does the local diagnosis, is that your ITO? Do you have private contractors that fix the radar itself or is it NOAA tech staff?
  7. Can @MGorse shed some light on what exactly broke?
  8. They have a history of not being a clean spot. Bird in Hand restaurant and buffet is far, far better.
  9. So much for that 60% chance of rain today. Perfect day for gardening and yard work.
  10. LWX hydro section is really meh. Don't see how less than 2.5" is considered heavy, but each to their own I guess.
  11. I know there is an ongoing issue with point-and-click as well as the Enhanced Data Display (EDD) right now. Not sure what else is affected.
  12. Eh, looking less and less impressive with each model cycle.
  13. Here is a good article from NSSL about hail: https://www.nssl.noaa.gov/education/svrwx101/hail/
  14. Burned 2 houses down in Carroll County today for training. It was so damp we had a hard time getting things to take. Wasnt heavy rain but just steady and it stink bigly.
  15. Woke up wondering the same thing. This smells like a bust.
  16. If you look at the visible loop, there appears to be some low level boundary sitting NW -> SE on the VA side of the Potomac River.
  17. Pity meso to our SW. https://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/md/2019/md0514.html
  18. Over the past 30 min or so we've gained some hazy sun in Gaithersburg and the winds aren't ripping out of the SE anymore. Maybe the front crawls north to a line along I-70 to Dover?
