Almost like a typical winter time shift East with the models , can you imagine all that snow to the East with Northern Delaware, Baltimore and DC with a dusting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

End of the week guidance doesn't look too robust with rainfall opportunities , possibly go a week without hardly any rain and then if we miss the end of the week rainfall change another week with no rain. Looks ugly for vegetation, lawns and trees. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ground is like cement in my yard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Transplanted a magnolia the other day and was too lazy to put the backhoe on my Kubota. Thought I'd just get some exercise with the manual shovel. Geeze - even with my 275lbs of flab standing on the shovel with both feet it was difficult to get any depth. Had to resort to the good ole pick-axe to break through. It was dry as a bone down 2 feet too with nary a hint of moisture. The poplars in our back yard are starting to drop leaves. We only managed .10" from the fringe of yesterday's coastal which didn't help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here it has been right about average I would say. I am going to start on the lawn revitalization project today. I will start in one area and rake out the thatch and loosen the the soil and throw some seed and starter fertilizer down. I'll just chip away at it over the next few weeks. Once I start, the sprinkler will be running pretty regularly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From over an inch at yours to what I received—— 0.04” not 30 miles farther northwest. Back to watering. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incredible how well drained it is, and with all the active trees and high evaporation rates it is difficult to keep it moist. I will be watering too, now that I have started this process. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastCoast NPZ Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Lol. Storm formed literally 200 yards east of my house. Then slid SE and formed a nice cell getting ready to pound Winchester again.. Weather station 1/2 mile away has .17". Not a drop here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlizzardNole Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Man what did the Delaware beaches do to deserve this! Clouded up here in OC and most left the beach but no rain, but man DE is getting pounded -- practically the whole state is filled with heavy thunderstorms. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAPE Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Talk about being on the edge. Booming thunder from the cluster of storms a few miles to my east. Did get a quick 0.15" as that area was congealing. Seems these storms are associated with the low still spinning off the coast of NJ. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dailylurker Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Thunder in every direction around me but still rock hard ground. I hate watering my garden while worried about being struck by lightning from a dumping storm 3 miles away. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adelphi_sky Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Soooo. Worst rain I ever drove through. I had to get mys on from summer camp. Drove from Adelphi to Beltsville. Glad I took the jeep. It's bad out there and the rain is still coming down. There's sure to be some bad flooding after it's over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
