The freeze warning was def a bit excessive for the more urban locations in and around DC - DCA only got down to 41 which was also my low in Tenleytown. I think the best explanation for last night's IAD low is that they kept a decent southerly breeze until ~5am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loudoun's population grew from 86k in 1990 to 427k in 2021, so the area around IAD is certainly far from "rural" anymore. Not sure about UHI, but certainly much more populous. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had 19 cubic yards delivered today and got about halfway done…need to finish up tomorrow morning in the backyard and the side. Great weather to put it down considering the dry, sunny weather. I want to beat the ‘heat’ tomorrow afternoon and hopefully finish up in the AM. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got 20 last year and spread it out over a week. Went golfing today and the fairways were very dry. Great roll, though. Drove a 295 yard (downhill) hole. 3 putted of course. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re in Alexandria so definitely not a big yard but we’re on a corner and have landscaped areas vs all lawn on all sides. I may have slightly overdone the order too as this is our 2nd year in the house and my first time mulching myself. It looks like it’ll end up about right (maybe 1 or 2 too much). Mulching is a beast of a chore I’ve learned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mulching is a beast of a chore I’ve learned. I have a lot of mulched areas too, since grass is largely a fail in the woods here. I pick away at it- starting in December after leaf removal. I just finished a couple weeks ago. I like getting most of it done during our 'cold' season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattie g Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 This weather is glorious. Came back from HHI on Saturday, where it had been 80 and sunny all last week and we pretty much rolled into another week of beautiful weather (after a chilly day or two). Not going to complain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
