Tangerines FTMFW.

I love sound apps! I like Relax Melodies on iOS. You can mash up sounds together (and control the volume of each sound in the mashup) - e.g. pair thunderstorm with ocean waves crashing. The only annoying thing is they just added a ‘premium/paid’ tier so they moved a lot of their sounds to the paid option. Still have about 15 or 20 sounds for free.

We do +10 to +20 departures quite easily these days.

Tree buds are going to explode on Friday with the forecast temps.

I am definitely burning my mask when we don’t have to wear them inside. I personally hate them. If you still want to wear it, all for it. I just don’t want to be required by the government.

Goldilocks!

Yeah, worst time of year to be at the beach with those sea breezes. Just wait til we get a backdoor CF!

Got up to 69 today. Really nice Spring day. Average high hits 60 in 4 days.

64 degrees at an 8 inch depth so deeper than the map.

Sounds delicious! Sauvignon blanc for me. I’m fancy AF.

Thanks for these. I was really hoping to find a resource to explain how to read CAPE, etc on skew t for severe season. I did a little googling tonight and found this resource - I’ll need to spend some time on this site as its more complicated than I expected, ha. It’s well laid out though on here! http://thevane.gawker.com/nerdin-it-up-how-to-find-instability-by-hand-on-a-skew-1706378907

Yep, we do winds and overperform soakers around here quite well. And to each their own on the bolded statement

Euro’s biggest weakness is its wind products...seems to always overdo it. Not saying it won’t be windy but I’d take those maps with a grain of salt.

We’re closing this morning on the house and I signed a contract yesterday with a landscaper - they’re going to remove the bamboo and plant 3 large Nelly Stevens’ Holly bushes for privacy. Looks like they will use an excavator to dig up a few of the root balls, cut down the remaining shoots, treat with herbicide, and cover with landscape fabric to drown out what isn’t dug up. It was the middle road in terms of cost vs digging up all the roots...I almost passed out when given the cost of that. I’m excited to get started gardening and doing some mini landscaping projects now that we’ll have an actual yard. One of the first weekend projects in April I’m going to do is run wired landscape lights in the backyard and adding landscape spot lights to illuminate a few of the trees in the front of the house.

I need a good 101 type site/etc re: how to read a sounding for thunderstorms. Anyone have a good reference?

Happy Birthday! Have a great day today. And beer is overrated...cocktails, wine, and spiked seltzer is where its at. Sorry Scraff

Today gets a downgrade since its a Monday

Yeah, mine is busted so I'm just rooting for every underdog to win at this point.

35. Another beautiful day on tap. Sun angle is the same as mid September.

Wow, another huge upset. Way to go Oral Roberts

Let’s goooo Oral Roberts

Wow, crazy. What a game by Loyola Chicago. Another Big Ten team out.

I’m already calling it spring

I went back to the historical data from our weather station there and for the last four years, the last freeze was: 2017 - 5/12 2018 - 5/11 2019 - 4/16 2020 - 5/11 It’s about four to six weeks between locations I’d say. While trees are starting to leaf out in late April/early May, they aren’t fully leafed until the last week of May. It’s really quite stark driving from Frostburg crossing into Garrett County in early/mid May.

Growing season FTW.
