    If we somehow manage a big fluke event like that, I hope it's pure cement.

    00z Euro gets the low through Pittsburgh around 989mb...with +20 temp anomaly at 850 [thanks to a jet of nearly 65 kts]. It also significantly backed off on the rainfall (shocker) only about 2" regionwide.

    The "we are due" index is pretty high in several areas specifically: 1.) Derecho 2.) Tropical system/remnants 3.) EF-2 or greater tornado 4.) Large scale river flooding event Sooner or later the pendelum is going to swing back on us.
  5. Eskimo Joe
    From a climo perspective we are due for a derecho.

    Planted collards and beets under a vold frame two weeks ago and things are sprouting up a bit fast. Garlic also coming along too.

    Might want to wait another 24 hrs...don't need to jinx this.

    12 GEFS is a marked improvement for anyone north of I-66.

    If it's there at D5 or less than we're talking. Beyond that we've been burned too many times.

    Yes. Less than 25% of the events are acceptable and the all but one of the minority that's good is only for the elite forum members in jackpotville.

    It's pretty meh.

    12" - 16" of pancake batter followed by 2" to 3" of ZR then a 3 day deep freeze. The icing on the cake would be the event popping up under 12-24 hours.

    You can't forecast an ice storm until about 12 to 18 hours out.

    This is a phenomenal write up, and it's obvious you went through a lot to collate the information, thank you. I have two follow up questions for BWI. 1.) Would it be possible to re-run the data for 10 inch or greater events? 2.) Would it be possible to re-run the data for days when the high temperatures was at or below 32 degrees at BWI? I'm curious to see if there is any strong correlation for cold weather.

    I think @Bob Chilland @psuhoffman mentioned this before. Worth a read:

    Three 10 foot rows of garlic planted this weekend and put under a plastic row cover. Beets and collards to follow next weekend.

    BWI: 18" DCA: 10" IAD: 18" RIC: 10" Tiebreaker SBY: 8"

    My garden is shot too, just the pumpkins, beets and collards are left.

    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.
  20. Eskimo Joe
    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.

    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.

    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.
  24. Eskimo Joe
    September to December is the best beer time of the year.
  25. Eskimo Joe
    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.
