The CMC has LSV spittle over the next 10 days (remembering were are 5-6 days into this dry spell)

If I were driving a truck through DC I would haul ass too!

I mowed this week as well....#24 on the Trainingtime count up. It was looking quite good but all of our plants are wilting so we have to water them again. It is about 2 hours a day of work. Crazy. Bring on the clovers.

With it having 1/4" over the 15 days it is wintery. Better than the .1 or lower before. We are already a week in so take the GFS verbatim and we have .25" of rain for 3 weeks. Paweather can put the mower away again.

Way wide right. Gains too much latitude to miss the front/trough.

TT has been having trouble for days now. It is out into the 140's on Pivotal. Sitting around the SE Atlantic

12Z GFS is rolling.

Gone in a poof. Seems timing is a key as the SLP is earlier in climbing north at 6Z and gets grabbed by a front. Euro seems slowest and the storm is still in play at 240.

48 and windows open AM

I know, I just saw dc and had some fun.

He said he is hauling out of DC right?

Good catch and a huge change of over 1000 miles. We will be in OC, MD that weekend and would have to leave a day early. 945 bearing down. Still a good two weeks of little to no rain here. Even if the Cane veered left it would be 15 or so days since it rained of any significance.

24 for me.....close to right. Could be 25 or 23. I had feritlizer put on the areas that have grass last week so it grew quite well with the rain.

They make an 8 ABV product. Surge.

Wait, is there a discussion going on that beer hydrates you? LOL. Beer that is 1 or 2ABV maybe but not the typical 4-5 ABV beer from everything I know. Beer is not as bad as drinking a shot of whiskey is... you are getting some water absorbed from the beer but you are going to pee out almost all hydration. My funny comment was people who argue that drinking a spiked water is hydration and can be substituted for a glass of water. Same as beer. Although there’s no denying the tastiness and appeal of hard seltzers like White Claw, it’s worth remembering that people's claims about their supposed health benefits aren’t all they’re cracked up to be. Take, for instance, the many jokes circulating the internet about how “hydrating” White Claw is. Not to burst your bubble, but it’s, uh… not. This by no means a knock against White Claw itself, or even against hard seltzer more generally — it is, after all, delicious. Just don’t expect it to keep you hydrated as you imbibe; it’s no substitute for plain old water. "Though hard seltzers are made with sparkling water, they still cause dehydration, based on the alcohol being a diuretic," Dr. Scott Braunstein, M.D., medical director of health provider Sollis Health, tells Bustle. "They impact hydration in the same way as other alcohols." Studies have looked at whether alcoholic drinks are capable of being hydrating — and the results suggest that they can’t, really. A study published in the Journal of Applied Physiology in 1997 looked at whether there was a difference in recovery from dehydration induced by working out in the heat when consuming alcohol-free beverages versus beverages with alcohol. The researchers found that there was no difference in recovery between beverages that were alcohol-free and those which contained up to 2% alcohol; however, drinks containing 4% alcohol were found to “delay the recovery process.” This is why, Braunstein says, you need to drink water in between alcoholic beverages to prevent dehydration.

One of the many arguments against the not dehydrated theory.

Here come the people who argue drinking a spiked water means no dehydration!

It is stupendous. Early nooners here 71 and variably cloudy.

Down here that is all we will be though like I said the authority in Waynesboro has warned that grass watering may be legally curtailed next week. Lots of people over seeding and watering their grass. Areas already in drought may not have fun the next 3 weeks if progs are close to right. I took a cursory look at MDT since April and the longest stretch MDT has gone without .1" of rain was 10 days. GFS is talking almost double that at 18 days unless they get a surprise early next week. Just model talk and not a forecast.

They take a holistic, big picture view on those maps using stream guidance and soil moisture. Re: if you got 1" of rain over 8 hours that will help lower this more vs. 4" in 30 min. I have a client that works at USGS so I hear some stuff coming up. They get people writing them, on FB, when they occasionally post these maps. "It just rained and I am in D1, whaaa" and they explain it in a reply. Much of their FB is shake/earthquake stuff which is fairly interesting.

Nationwide Drought map is pretty colorful. In PA, small area still D1. Larger D0. Pillow still D0, MDT just out of it but may expand back in next week at this time.

I am sure it has happened before but can't recall an area this size, on the East Coast, showing little to no precip during a non winter month. Even during the really dry summer back several years (here) it always showed at least .25" of convective rain. From Harrisburg to Atlanta. The fantasy Cane is gone.

We have only received about 1/3 of the normal rain for Aug and Sept. Prior we were doing great. Our little Rouzerville pond is way down suddenly 2-3 weeks with no rain at all is the worry.
