Beautiful sunny afternoon even though it is a little humid out there. 

Yesterday's view as the storm moved through...

Eventually went to 8 alarms. Fire jumped several roads with flame heights in excess of 300 feet. Maryland and PA National Guard air assets got water for target air drops. Over 700 acres before containment. Some real west coast stuff.

Radio traffic definitely had west coast vibes. 

Forestry does prescribed burns in the environmental areas on state lands, It would be interesting to know when the last time they did Soldiers Delight?

Nice! There are eagles that fly near Patapsco State Park McKeldin Area. You'll just randomly see them fly up the river over the water. It's so cool.

Cool! Its been pretty slow this "winter" for Bald Eagles in my area. In recent years, I would often see Bald Eagles flying over the Patapsco River and the Chesapeake Bay but the first one I saw this year was last weekend at Downs Park. I think a lot of it had to do with the lack of migratory ducks in the area this year. 

I have been wanting to go to the McKeldin area. I have seen some neat pictures of the rapids/waterfalls there. I usually go to the Avalon/Orange Grove areas of Patapsco for photos/hiking. 

Saw my first Osprey of the season today flying over the Patapsco River!

Surprised to see some sleet mixed in in Pasadena. Wasn’t expecting that. 
 

42 degrees

Flurries. 36 degrees. 
 

Beautiful sunset tonight. Wasn’t expecting it with all the clouds this afternoon. 

Beautiful sunset glow tonight. This was 35 minutes post sunset and glow was still going strong! 

Low of 7.2 in Pasadena

A balmy 11.8 degrees right off of the Patapsco River in Pasadena! 

Winds picking up  in Pasadena.
 

Calls for down wires picking up. A tree on a house in Glen Burnie and a tree on a shed in Severna Park. 
 

BGE giving three hour response etas. 

Snow flurries. 35.7 degrees.

Woke up to a burst of sleet/rain & wind. Didn't last long but still neat to see. 

Last night's moonrise over White Rocks and the Patapsco River. 

From last week...

Decent amount of wind when the clouds moved through. No rain yet. 

Heavy rain and constant lightning in Annapolis. Not much wind. Definitely looked like this tree took a direct hit by the lightning. It was missing a line of bark straight up the tree. 

Two storms moved through Annapolis yesterday. Both storms brought heavy downpours. Photo from just after sunset right before the heavy rain came through. 

Rain was pretty intense in the Annapolis area. Really poured for a while in the late afternoon with low visibilities while driving. Then it rained again a 700ish but not as hard. 

Pretty wild precip differences in Anne Arundel in the past 24 hours. 0.05 in Northern Anne Arundel while 4.79 radar estimated in Edgewater. 

Heavy rain in Annapolis. Not much wind but some lightning.
