NorthArlington101 Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 Starting to notice the smell of smoke and a slight "oranging" of the sun from the fires that have developed this afternoon in the mountains.Much worse than when I made my comment an hour or so ago. Distinctly smoky in DC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrinceFrederickWx Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 Wow the wildfire smoke smell is suddenly bad here when I just went out, as bad as last summer for sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mdhokie Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 You know what makes softball practice really fun? Gale force winds. The one thing we always seem to overperform in. Wind. Blah. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoshanaz Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Just saw this from Shenandoah National Park feed on FB: Due to smoke from a wildfire, Skyline Drive is closed from Thornton Gap (mile 31.5) to Mathews Arm (mile 22.1). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stormy Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 22 at 7 am. A soaking rain will really help with the very dry conditions, smoke and wildfires. A 5 model blend gives D.C. 1.65" and Augusta 1.02". All important Luray receives 1.23". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My plants are in the last 2 weeks of flower in my greenhouse. I haven't had to use my dehumidifier hardly at all for the second half of flower. If anything, it's been to low. The humidity yesterday got down to 10% in the greenhouse. I put bowls of water in there and it's been up around 30%. The plants are beautiful and 100% mold free lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blah. Try tennis practice, lol. I fed a ball to a kid during a drill and it ended up hitting another kid four places behind him in line. Also, a yard sign flew through the air and nearly impaled me. Yay March. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87storms Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 19 hours ago, EastCoast NPZ said: Drove through 31F, heavy snow, with approx 1" on the ground through east PA on I-84 today. Get back to VA and it's sunny, 65F, hurricane winds and wildfires again. I'm so goddamn sick of this place. The former sounds lovely in December, not in late March...though I could do without wildfire smoke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87storms Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 I've realized that I'm willing to sacrifice up to 10 degrees in order to achieve sunshine. Today's weather is crisp, but hardly a cloud in the sky...I'll take it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormy Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 March has been very dry across the Central Valley. I have received a total of 1.38" compared to a normal on March 21 of 2.31". This is only 60% of normal rainfall. This reality has resulted in a rash of wildfires aggravated by high winds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAPE Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 The dry weather was nice while it lasted. Now back to the usual heavy, maybe excessive rain. The wind wont be trivial ether. Good old fashioned Nor'easter rainer for the MA. Forecast here is for a half inch tonight and 2-3 tomorrow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
