EastCoast NPZ Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 Couldn't ask for a better forecast... great extended weekend (for those who get one ) way, way too warm. was thinking about taking monday off to do some hiking up on the skyline drive, but now i'm leaning against it. last thing i want to do is hike and view foliage (maybe) while sweating my arse off in near-summer heat and fighting off swarming bugs. absolute perfect weather so far this week, and right on cue a heat-wave arrives just in time for the week-end. a big FU to mother nature!

Temps will be more reasonable up there, but unfortunately, the festival of leaves is this weekend also, and there will be no escaping the heat in downtown FR. Last year I seem to recall it being hot also. It's just a shame we couldn't have had yesterday's weather this weekend. Heat waves arrived just in time for Memorial Day, July 4th, Labor Day, and now Columbus Day. That's a perfect 4 for 4 for the ruination of the prime outdoor holidays. Keeping my fingers crossed that 70 degree weather doesn't arrive in time to ruin Thanksgiving as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kmlwx Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Capture the same effect with Venus and Mars, that would be epic. Mars is a great target when it's visible as you can sometimes spot a polar ice cap on it. Meanwhile - GREAT morning out there. Going to be another nice one.

jacindc Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Off-topic (or at least out of area), but I'm down in Melbourne Beach today, with a front-row view of the storm just off the coast. Some pictures (and a video with the howling wind), if interested: http://www.flickr.co.../10/09/?view=lg Two shots: (hard to tell in these photos, easier in some of the others, how big the waves are) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxUSAF Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Beautiful day, but the bugs were SWARMING. Stink bugs (worst all year), mosquitos, ants, termites (huge colony was born today, they were everywhere), etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nw baltimore wx Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 Beautiful day, but the bugs were SWARMING. Stink bugs (worst all year), mosquitos, ants, termites (huge colony was born today, they were everywhere), etc... I was down in Great Falls yesterday and couldn't believe the number of stink bugs. I don't know if I'm just lucky, but we don't have that many up this way. But today, just down the street at a friend's house, I was attacked by a gang of mosquitoes and saw a swarm of flying ants leaving their nest. I guess they know that time is short. But, like you said, a gorgeous weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stink bugs (worst all year), mosquitos, ants, termites (huge colony was born today, they were everywhere), etc... This. We cleaned our porch Saturday and they came out in droves. We couldn't let the dog stay out on the porch at all this weekend because he kept eating them. Which is okay, once or twice...but eventually he gets sick to his stomach and... yeah... gross.

Ellinwood Posted October 10, 2011 Author Share Posted October 10, 2011 Vis. sat. has some cirrus over most of the region, with some clearing in central VA and southern Delmarva that should make its way up into the DC/Balt region this afternoon unless it fills in.
