  1. Close for me, too. August 1966. I've shared this before, but the first part of this clip is home movies from Capitol Hill for the January 1966 storm. (second half is from 1967, since I'm there.)
  2. The sun angle really helps with giving the yolk just the right amount of firmness.
  3. I'm pretty sure that my front walk has a nuclear reactor under it.
  4. I took down the really Christmas-y stuff, but the lights are going to stay up at least into March. I did it last year and neighbors said it really helped with morale during the pre-vaccine times in January and February.
  5. I don't know why people are always in a hurry to take down lights. Leave em up and you get such pretty tableaus when it snows!
  6. Any snowfall that doesn't have rain is a win.
  7. Always Be Clinging to the NAM when it shows what I want
  8. Sure, we'll be on the west side of the eye but hard to imagine that the hurricane-force winds will still be causing trouble by the time it gets to DC. (Crap, I see I stopped changing my wall calendar five months ago.)
  9. Sweating the rain/snow line is part of the deal with this type of setup, alas. That's why I loved last Monday so much. Didn't have to be glued to a precip-type radar the entire time.
  10. Remember, they always come north. Well, except when they don't, but they ALMOST always come north. Okay, so maybe not almost, but they OFTEN come north.....
  11. Not exactly the time to be needing emergency room care, either.
  12. Oh, I don't think the concept of news organizations knowing that coverage of big weather events gooses the ratings is anything new. I remember local stations being all over big weather events in the 1970s. As for the current storm, I'm starting to hope for the "atmospheric memory" or whatever we call it that seems to target a specific area repeatedly throughout the season. And so far this season it would be me.
  13. Gonna need to shake off my serviceberries, but man, this is gorgeous. Sent from my Pixel 6 using Tapatalk
  14. If it was on South Capitol Street it's a pet daycare, so you didn't miss out. [emoji1787]
