nw baltimore wx Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Although it's been dry here, it's much worse further north. We went up to the Finger Lakes area in New York and they've been in an extended drought and a lot of residential wells are drying up. Between winery visits, we stopped by to see the Taughannock Falls and it was a trickle. Here's a shot of the river just downstream from where the falls are.

Yeah, it was a great trip and a beautiful area, but a pretty terrible drought. The wines, especially the Reislings, are pretty darn good too! If you are familiar with how the falls are normally, then you'll appreciate this photo too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mappy Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Damn, that sucks. That area is awesome. Went on two separate geomorphology trips up there. While we went in late spring, the falls were always flowing. Pretty crazy to see it so dry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nw baltimore wx Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 I'm planning to clear the gutters tomorrow of all the dead leaves that have fallen over the past week in preparation for all the rain we won't get on Friday.

mreaves Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Spending several days in Baltimore for a work related training. I think I like this city or at least the parts I've seen so far. Any suggestions from locals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nw baltimore wx Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 If you like baseball or just good ballpark food, the O's are in town tonight and there are plenty of tickets available. If you don't want to spen a lot, I'd suggest bleacher seats. The upper deck might be a couple of bucks cheaper, but the lower deck and Eutaw St are where the best food and drink selections are available.

Got a good seat just behind the Rockies dugout, up one level, for $30. I have to say o was a bit underwhelmed by Boog's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to say o was a bit underwhelmed by Boog's. The O's weren't overly impressive either. Wednesday's are pretty slow, but Nicks in Cross St market is a good happy hour spot, and Fells Point has a decent music bar in Cats Eye Pub, but they're kind of go to spots. My guess is that you been to all the trendy spots downtown. If you have a car, you may want to check out Union Brewery and Waverly Brewery in Hampden, and there's a great whiskey and bbq joint there called Blue Pit. Also good grub at Birrotecha in the same area, but if you like Italian, there's Grano's which is byob also up the street from the breweries.

mreaves Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Ended up walking down to Fells Point. Pretty cool area, maybe a bit too gentrified. Had a Natty Bo and walked back along the harbor.

nw baltimore wx Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 I filled the birdfeeder this afternoon and I've never seen so many birds attack it like this. It's only been a few hours and it's almost empty. Yesterday, when I had the sprinkler on, a Cooper hawk landed on the patio and took a bath for about 10 minutes. I have a video but it's too big to upload. Here's a blurry photo though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I grew up there, it's definitely not the neighborhood I grew up in in a lot of ways, a lot of the old charm is gone with the rebuilt houses that stand out among the non-rehabbed ones (like my dad's house, who still lives there) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jebman Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 South New York, Pennsylvania and Maryland --- These are all places that will see tremendous amounts of heavy rain today and tonight. Get to high ground NOW!!!!!!!! There will be hundreds of frantic water rescues tonight in those states, Turn Around, Don't Drown. The District will get clipped. Dale City may see a stray shower or two, I am really full of excitement and anticipation over the incredible prospect of getting a tenth of an inch of rain from this!!!!!!!1!!! The Drought of 2016 is ON!!!!!!!!!! Some of my neighbors' lawns are already turning brown from lack of rain and hot sunny days, and we got a hell of a lot more where that came from - straight thru at least late October.
