Three-month average for DJF at 850 is -0.25C to -0.50C compared to normal. December and February are -0.75C to -1.00C compared to normal, with January at average.

There was a definite smokiness among the trees yesterday during swim practice. Didn't realize there was a decent fire in the Pine Barrens, which seems the much more likely culprit. Edit: That fire is in the same place as the large Warren Grove fire of 2007. I wonder if it started in a similar fashion - the result of a range test "gone wrong."

"Some" for sure.

It's incredibly frustrating that we can't get a stretch of actual warm weather to bring the pool temps up. Our 8&U practice starts at 6:00 pm, by which time most of the lanes are in shade, so the poor tinies are fully blue-lipped within 15 minutes of the start of practice! We ended Tuesday's practice 25 minutes early, and yesterday's 15 minutes early.

Those are just gorgeous...and F anyone who comes in here and tries to ruin any good super early vibes we have right now.

This thread is always a laugh.

Or we paid for it ahead of time this past winter.

Awesome! First sighting here was about a month ago, but I think we're finally seeing those that are going to stick around for the summer. A couple sightings daily now with the recognizable whir of a hummingbird flying through the air becoming a more regular sound. My little one and I named them last year - female is Lavender and male is Trumpet!

I can't remember another April-May that has been nicer than this in...ever? Waking up to low 50s and getting into the mid 70s or so is about as glorious as one can ask for.

Not many, to be honest. 1963 and 1986 were pretty dry in April and May, though we of course got the big soaking at the end of April this year to bring us above average for the month.

2023 Mid-Atlantic Garden, Lawn, and Other Green Stuff Thread
mattie g replied to mattie g's topic in Mid Atlantic
Agree that they're wild violet. I've been told that the average homeowner really can't even get broad-application herbicide that will handle them but not nuke basically everything else around - it requires professional application. -
That's opening day at the pool, when we recruit the last stragglers for the swim team and make some money from our bake sale. Big nope on that!
-
Awesome - that's a great rundown without spoiling anything! I'm quite far along in BotW, but I've decided to just make sure that I'm fully exploring everything. I could easily beat Ganon at this point, but that's just one piece of playing this game and I have no desire to rush it!

Do you know wat the May temp departures are so far? Not wet, for sure, but I think it's been pretty cool compared to what many were fearing.
-
Not looking for spoilers, but has anyone played Tears of the Kingdom yet? I picked up a Switch a couple months ago and have been playing a lot of Breath of the Wild (when I can), but I'm purposely holding out on TotK until I've thoroughly explored that world and gone about as far as I feel I can. What a game!

Yes. Yes we do, in fact, have a 9! Of course, Pepi is a pretty damn good young #9, but having Balogun as an option along with Pepi and any of the other strikers in the pool is massive!

Dang...wasn't logged on to see this! Really wish I had been. It f'ing poured from about an hour before the wedding (started at 4:00) until about 8:00 and then drizzled after that. Complete washout, but the reception was inside, so all was good!
-
Going to my cousin's outdoor wedding in Lewes today. Should be fun!
-
This one simple trick will get you a salt water pool quick!
-
Damn...that would be awesome! That's a hell of an expense, as well!
-
Need some warmer weather to warm up the pool in preparation for opening weekend (May 27)! And it would be really nice to have that be a toasty day since the pool is open to anyone that day and we use it as a last push to get new kids to join the swim team!

What I mean is that I don't think there was as much of a medium for people to discuss wildfire smoke. If it weren't for Twitter or online news without page/word limits or whatever, then would there be much of an interest in reporting about how wildfire smoke is causing the sky to be a little hazy?
