Nope, I love legit winter storms especially ones that surprise everyone. Just like 1/25/2000...it's a shame that with better forecasting accuracy these are quickly becoming a thing of the past
I planted on time, but lost a week of feeding/weeding for a small vacation. That tip was for everyone else because there's nothing more exciting than watching pumpkins grow and making fresh pie from them.
Pumpkins finally showing up on my vines. ProTip: if you're trying to grow squash, melons or pumpkins and only getting male flowers, it is likely due to stress. Feed your plants a high potash formula for 2 weeks and you'll see female flowers pretty quickly.
People forget the ENH is just the old 30%. We average between 1 and 3 ENH a year and it's been pretty quite this year even compared to our usual quietness so I wonder if folks are just starved for some action.
I don't think so. The activity in MD has kicked off a long lived outflow boundary that just pressed south of I-66 in VA. As that boundary moves through it's kicking the storms up. You should see an uptick over the next hour.
Notice how the outflow from the initial storm in Frederick County has moved east and is energizing the activity in Fairfax and Montgomery. Decent wind signature just NE of Sugarland Run in Fairfax.
