It was nice to get a day above 60 yesterday, and nice to have a morning that wasn't freezing. I like four seasons. Spring is one of the four I very much like. #1 Fall, #2 winter, #3 spring, #4 summer. I'm not a fan of anything over 80. If at any point we have something tropical threatening the east coast I'll be back in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAPE Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 Warm. 75. Its gotten quite dry here. No significant rain in 2 weeks. Dandelion farm doing very well. Chickweed thriving also. At least my woodland wetland is shrinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Balti Zen Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 Another flat gorgeous day. We are having issues in our neighborhood from the historic rainfall Baltimore received last year and a prolonged period of little to no precipitation would not be the worst thing for my part of the area in the near term.

Grass slow to grow, which is fine with me, but the dryness makes it difficult to work in the flower beds. Also, I read for those who use Dimensions and other pre and even post emergents that for the best results you need .50 inches of rain. My forecast here is not too encouraging for rainfall, it figures it drys up when you really like at least some moisture. Once the SOI flipped seems the rainfall went poof.

Another new observations after 20 years here in Middletown, DE is the onion grass is really spreading into a lot of lawns. I have never seen as much as this year.

I am in the woods so I cant keep a healthy lawn to choke anything out. I stopped wasting money on pre-emergents last year. Screw it. I just keep building stuff and adding mulch beds to eliminate my lawn area. Chickweed usually dies off as the days get warmer and longer, as long as you have a pretty healthy lawn. I have noticed scattered areas of onion grass but nothing unusual. One new thing are these very green, shiny- almost plastic or rubber like, clumps of "grass". Never seen it before. I would be totally happy if it took over though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must not like summer around here lolWhen I’m outside in the summer I’m in a pool 90% of the time — it’s the only way I can bear it. I’m definitely not a fan of humidity!

wxdude64 Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Sun just broke thru the fog and cloud deck in last 15 minutes, up to 62 after hanging in 50's all morning, GREAT working outside weather.

Not sure how long the upslope will hang in there. Looks relatively brief. Once that low gets going it probably shuts off.

I am currently sipping a GI Bourbon Co Stout. As for the snow, looks like maybe a few inches and some pretty decent wind there. If I had any interest in chasing an actual blizzard, I would head to eastern SD/W MN. That is the place to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outside shot of 5". Probably more like 3. It will get windy for a time, not likely 60 though. If you want heavy snow and legit blizzard conditions, look a few hundred miles NE.
