  1. 100% - we need more cross-suburb rail transit. The purple line is a start in MD, but VA needs a lot more. You should be able to take a train between cities/towns without having to always go through DC or do a bunch of transfers.
  2. dry ground + wind with any west component = furnace.
  3. i am generally of the view that widening ends up creating more traffic (induced demand etc) - but I agree with you all this stretch makes no sense. The lane reduction northbound just creates back-ups. I don't think it should be a priority for MDOT (WE NEED MORE TRANSIT) but they could do something with this corridor to reduce congestion. Rail? Bus rapid transit? Something.
  4. 15-20" over the last 30 days in parts of southern MN from what I read. pretty crazy
  5. i live on a street corner and people just blow through the stop sign all the time. like - my kids cross the street there along with hundreds of other neighborhood kids. just a total lack of consideration for others these days And 100% on the noise detection - we used to live near the end of I-66 when it goes by the Watergate and the noise was ridiculous.
  6. Can't tell you the number of times i've almost been hit by a driver either crossing Connecticut or by folks turning onto it from a side street. Slow the fuck down.
  7. i mean i run through there all the time so i don't mind drivers slowing down and not killing people tbh
  8. DCA only dropped to 81F overnight again - although I doubt we'll hold it until 1am. Wouldn't be surprised to see low-mid 90s though since we started so warm.
  9. With a 1am temp of 85F, June 23 goes in the books for DCA as: High: 99F Low: 81F This is the earliest reading above 80F on record at DCA and only one of a handful of times of an 80+ low in June. This is the first 80+ low at DCA since 2019. BWI also records a low of 81F for yesterday (98/81) - not sure on records there but I can't imagine many other June nights this warm.
  10. we need more trains so people don't have to drive everywhere. it would be better for everyone's blood pressure.
  11. 11pm DCA: 87F IAD: 84F BWI: 87F
  12. 8pm: DCA: 92F IAD: 91F BWI: 90F Highs today: DCA: 99F (R) IAD: 98F (R) BWI: 97F (R) RIC: 99F CHO: 97F ORF: 99F (R)
  13. DCA holding in the mid 90s.
  14. DCA tied or broke its daily record - IAD broke its record edit: LWX says DCA has hit at least 99F, so they broke their record too.
  15. 98F at DCA - might get it if we get a tad bit more clearing.
  16. sun angle is gonna hurt accumulations imo
  17. yeah I think that might ruin it. I'm torn bc I want the 80-degree low but I also need the rain lol. I feel like we'll have some additional opportunities this summer. Already in the upper 80s in the 9am hour at DCA. Winds out of the SSW so a bit more of a fetch off of Crystal City vs the river.
  18. any time it stays around 70 for the low in Augusta County, that's pretty impressive.
  19. midnight temps IAD: 87F DCA: 86F BWI: 83F
  20. We are now on 80-degree low watch: 8pm temps: DCA: 93F IAD: 93F BWI: 91F
  21. lol DC Water sent me a notice that they had detected "high usage at this address" - yeah no shit, i'm trying to keep everything alive.
  22. lol you have the right idea being above 4000ft today
  23. i was picking up my daughter and wife from DCA and the car was reading 102F in the shade lol. Yup.
