Rain. Nice to see a system actually hit our area flush again. Looks like particularly heavy rain after 3 am up toward Fallston.

*Epic Fall weather warning*  from 2:00 pm  until 6:30 pm this evening. If you're unlucky enough to be in an office building you need to evacuate ASAP to the nearest outdoor area. 

Got an almost two week trial starting Monday and will be in prep all weekend on what is probably the best weekend of the year for foliage around here so...yay me.

Bengals will definitely lose at least one of those - it's what they do - but they are back to being watchable and for that I am grateful. As for the Steelers, their schedule now gets hard and they kicked off the hard part of their schedule by losing to a team they should not have lost to. I still think the Ravens win this division...

36 over by Monkton Station NCR trail at 7 am. 

As this forum's resident/only Bengals fan...thanks for Joe Flacco. That was neat.

I want a refund on today's sunny forecast.  Sunny to me means at least 80% sunshine, not 40% (and that's being generous).  Probably more so a Frederick thing than for areas to the east.

Must be - was definitely pretty clear over in Balt City in any event. 

Today is the flurries on the backside of the departing low that came together too late for us, basically, right? Were this, say, December or January?

Just super good news - you all have just the best set of months ahead anticipating it too. Especially when you are snowed in during multiple blizzards clearly...

In other news since I haven’t been on here since last winter. I got engaged July 27th and our wedding is May 17th.

 

Woo!! CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!

AND I hope for actual snow in winter.

I am a hopeless eternal optimist - or a certified masochist. 

Why not both, I guess...

Grew up and remain a Reds fan.

Adopted the Orioles as my second team when I moved here in 2009. 

I literally laughed out loud when this note hit my timeline this AM -

Quote

The Reds have lost their 7th straight postseason game, tied for the second-longest active streak in MLB. Only the Orioles currently have a longer losing streak (10).

Yep. That tracks. 

That's what the middle 10 days of January are for...

Starting at 1:00 pm Sunday???(trying  to will something into existence on timing)

Ah well, you all can thank me for making this reservation on Monday if we end up with a region wide drought buster...

Doing a quick mid-afternoon arrival to overnight in Rehobeth Saturday - hoping the Euro is a hair off on timing - maybe delay onset of whatever that is gonna be until midday Sunday...

Welcome!

Also, in non new met news - had a bald eagle cruise past me about head high over by the bridge .7 miles south of Monkton Station on the NCR trail while I was walking my labs this AM. He/she landed on a branch about 30 yards from the bridge hanging over the river. Absolutely awesome in all respects. Breath-taking being that close to one.

Just saw an all-brown wooly bear caterpillar. Torch winter inbound?

I saw an all orange one today - does that mean anything? 

Don't have a total but got several rounds of very hard rain in Fallston last evening into the overnight. Most welcome. 

Looks like healthy radar for south of DC - hoping for some scraps Baltimore north 

The Browns run defense is probably the best in the league. That's a nice win for the Ravens given how Cleveland drags teams into the mire. 

(obligatory reminder - Bengals fan here - so have decent perch to observe on all things AFC North)

Yeah maybe although lanternflies don’t exactly fly gracefully to my eye lol 

Altho they do fly strategically - they are impressively hard to stomp 

Green Bay's defense is absolutely ferocious now after the gift of getting Parsons.  Add in short week and Green Bay being at home and it was a really very very hard task for Washington. Washington did much better than Detroit did last Sunday fwiw going up there - and on shorter turnaround. 

What a hilarious set of misses all day for the most part in Fallston.

@North Balti Zen Glad I could help! Lots of choices out there, but that Ambient is best bang for what it delivers and the accuracy component of it all. I know you want as close to perfect as possible, so that is a solid choice! I think you'll love it! 

Awesome. Given that I want this for her use for data for the farm and her fields, I  am glad to have it. It already arrived! 

Woo! Thanks Millville, that is the kind of info I was hoping to get - especially from a pro!  Much appreciated. 

ETA- yep - that looks ideal. Went ahead and just pulled the trigger.
