Yup, I'm trying to slow roll my cigar so it lasts til the storms arrive. I could see 2-3" out of this. Phew. I hope the tulip trees are ok. Oooo, lightning and intense thunder just over my house right now. Wow it's loud.
-
Radar looks pretty.ominous for the storms coming in to st Mary's county. Sitting on the front porch in Calvert waiting for them to roll across the river. Can already hear thunder. It's gonna be heavy.
-
I guess for me it would be trying to go to sleep with the house like 85 degrees. I'd live in the basement I think,.though that would probably get all moldy pretty quick.
-
Out changing my caterpillar bags and it's so oppressive out. It feels hard to breathe. I don't know how the old timers did it without AC down here in the olden times. Has to be the most important invention of all time other than electricity or antibiotics ..
-
Sure it's lower on the BTU content vs hickory or oak, but it's light and splits easy and burns well. I wouldn't purposely pay for it but around here tulip trees grow faster than lawn and there's always somebody trying to offload logs from a tree they had to remove (or that a storm knocked down). So for free I'll definitely take it.

On my ride to the gym this morning there were large 2-3ft tulip trees down all over on the road about a mile from my house. Must've been some serious localized winds. They were blocking driveways and side streets everywhere. Free firewood for somebody...
-
Gusty winds, super heavy downpour and a ton of thunder. Luckily nothing too severe though. One thing's for sure...the drought is definitely in the rear view mirror.
-
93/82. The 82 is suspect.
-
Weatherbug says my heat index is 118F!? Seems kinda high.
-
Now the sun has come out. No humidity out there at all...
-
Heavy, heavy rain in Huntingtown. Looks, feels and sounds like a jungle out there.
-
We're a couple miles east of you. Not gonna make it to dark I don't think. Dog has already gone upstairs to bed.
-
I'm sitting at 74F at the cabin now. Have had the windows open all weekend so far. Gonna be hard going back to reality on Sunday.
-
All packed up to head up to the cabin early tomorrow morning. Highs in the 70s, lows in the upper 50s, low DP...gonna feel like October. Spent all day down here putting out moth eggs and lost about 5lbs in sweat. At least I don't get mosquito bites.
-
Still raining in huntingtown. Haven't had a 12hr period like this in a number of years. Tons of lightning last night, Benson wasn't liking it. Not sure how much I got so far, I need to buy a new rain gauge.
-
Well that escalated quickly. Severe storm in Huntingtown, big wind and heavy rain for the past hour. We lost power about ten times in 30min, I'm sure that was good for the household electronics. Glad we have a propane stove so we were still able to make dinner.
-
Idk, in Huntingtown we've missed every storm this week and haven't gotten squat. Trying to will the precip south but it's not working. Getting pretty dry out there.
-
Nice pic, and yeah that's exactly how it's looked this week. We leave today so I don't think we will see any sun until we get up in the airplane above the clouds. It's back to reality in the oven when we land at DCA tonight. Acadia is nice but holy cow is it overcrowded. I don't really understand why. The facilities in the park are also woefully under designed for the number of people that show up. I might go back off season in the snow or something but I wouldn't return this time of year.
-
It seems to me that whenever there is a SW flow up here it would bring in air off the water and sock the place in with most and fog. That's how it's been this week. And based on the extensive moss and lichen everywhere I'm figuring it's like this quite often at least when the water is still cool. I prefer cold and breezy when camping but this damp mist that never stops is the pits.
-
I'm up camping at Acadia this week. Every time I go anywhere or do anything outside at all this year it's cold, cloudy with an onshore flow, and non-stop mist and showers. Every. Single. Time. Fuck if I went on a vacation to Mojave in July the gods would find some way to get marine flow off the Gulf of California to ruin the whole thing.
-
Steady moderate rain in Calvert for a good two hours now. Looks like a ways to go to. Been a long time since we've had a dark, solidly rainy day like this. Occasional thunder too.
-
No sign of any smoke down here in the swampy lowlands. We didn't get a ton of rain last night, less than 1/2". But it's wet and soupy out. Good moth weather.
-
I just got my copies of the two "Northeast Snowstorm" books so I'm reading up on coastals while waiting for winter. Gonna manifest some good ones with my new knowledge.
-
Just a couple years ago we had this (in SoMD at least). It was a lot worse and even mid day the sky was reddish and you could really smell the smoke. I don't remember if the smoke was from Canada or somewhere in the US though.

This winter is gonna be rockin'!
