TalcottWx Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 news is? the way to stay informed. Discovery was active for 27 years until it was retired last year, and it flew the Hubble Space Telescope into orbit, among other missions. you should really stick to complaining, as a college football player, about less-than-optimal weather for pampered kids. Happy to hear your miserable and whiny as ever! Have a good one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winterymix Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 The 18Z NAM is nuts. It brings a very strong 850 mb low right across the mid-guts of the Mid-Atlantic. By 10Z Monday morning, 850 mb temperatures crash below freezing all the way to southern Georgia. Not Georgia, former USSR, we're talking Georgia as in the "peanut president". GFS shows it too.

mattie g Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 This weather in miserable. But I'm heading to New Mexico tonight, where it'll be sunny and in the 80s all week. Hopefully the temps don't fall into to frost-danger area while I'm gone, or else my tomatoes and peppers are gonna be pissed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're gonna be pissed whether it gets to low 30s or not. My hot weather crops are still in trays and pots so I can bring them inside when it gets cold like this. Soil temperatures aren't usually warm enough for those crops until May 15th-ish here and I'm probably a good 2-3 degrees warmer than you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kay Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 My hot weather crops are still in trays and pots so I can bring them inside when it gets cold like this. This is me. I'm getting a little overwhelmed with tomato and basil plants indoors and looking forward to planting. Have a good trip, mattie g, and may your plants be safe.

I did plant my basil in the yard, but its location this year is close to the road and the driveway, i.e. it's pretty warm compared to my back yard where the tomatoes will go.

Soil temperatures aren't usually warm enough for those crops until May 15th-ish here and I'm probably a good 2-3 degrees warmer than you. I've planted tender crops early before and been fine. In fact, I've planted early and done really, really well. I last weekend for two reasons: 1) I looked at the long-term forecast and was feeling fairly confident the temps would cooperate (i.e. no frost) and 2) I don't have a growing setup indoors, so I order plants online and don'tt have much of an option to keep them indoors for very long. My main problem is that this week I'm gone and won't be around to tend to them. My wife will try, but she's not the green thumb of the family. As long as there's no frost, it'll be fine in the long term. The plants just won't be happy about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North Balti Zen Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Damn, we've been spoiled if this is an "extended cool spring". I don't mean to say its historic, but, once we cleared the March heat, its been cool, that's all. And cool on the maps for another week or so anyway.

And cool on the maps for another week or so anyway. Since April 1: Since the cooler regime started (4/22-24): April 1-21 was 2-5 degrees above normal in the region (DCA and BWI being 4-5 degrees above normal).

North Balti Zen Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 18 of the first 21 days of April at BWI were above normal. Fair point, and cooler since then. So I guess recency bias for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoda Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Perhaps remnants of the MidWest MCS/complex may come through tonight for us with some heavy rains and gusty winds? If there is one that is after reading the 1630 SPC OTLK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there is one that is after reading the 1630 SPC OTLK I hope we get the precip that the NAM is showing for WV tonight, but I see that SPC is backing off the severe potential due to issues with modeling the moisture.
