It has been extraordinarily sunny, which I think factors in heavily. Since the start of September I've only had 4 days where there was any appreciable midday solar radiation restriction.

wxdude64 Posted November 16, 2023 Share Posted November 16, 2023 Not sure where the fire is, but it has to be close. Started smelling smoke about 3 hours ago, and now visibility is under a mile. Traffic cam about 2 miles away on VA511 in Low Moor I 64 Exit 21 EDIT- nope, looks like the smoke from fire on the Blue Ridge Parkway has found its way here. Lexington looks just as bad on traffic cams. Virginia 511 Web (511virginia.org) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87storms Posted November 16, 2023 Share Posted November 16, 2023 Aside from the smoke, which seems to have faded a little bit, today's weather is making a run at legendary status. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North Balti Zen Posted November 18, 2023 Share Posted November 18, 2023 It apparently rained a little bit. At least , I think it did as things are lightly wet on the patio. But looking at a radar loop for last several hours don’t see anything obvious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAPE Posted November 18, 2023 Share Posted November 18, 2023 Front moving through now. Wind has kicked up with an increase in clouds. No rain ofc, but it sounds like it with all the leaves plopping on the roof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need a Cyclone Rake! Mine makes short work of leaves and holds 44 bushels before you have to dump. Price is reasonable for the work they do. Several sizes ranging from $1500 - $2000.

Well.. never mind lol. That front sure did clear the humidity and moisture. Humidity dropping into the 40's here and wind is clearing the trees off finally. I got full sun on my greenhouse now that the trees are bare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
