I've been here all my life of 42 years. There's a great deal of variation across the county due to the terrain, but I can't go above a C unless downtown sees a 6 inch storm. Hasn't happened yet this year though.
The lightning show to the west of Frederick, prior to the storm being overhead, had to be the best of the year. Just fantastic. A mean looking storm too.
Yeah that was an amazing downpour. Was at the garden center of Lowes on the north side of town when it started. I had just noticed the deep orange moon rising when it suddenly just started pouring overhead. For about five minutes it was a deluge, yet the sky to the east was clear enough for the moon to be totally visible. It was a little surreal and just gorgeous.
Sat out the Frederick storm in my car downtown, just coming back from a hike. Strong gusty winds, sheets of rain, and towards the end just a few pings of hail on the windshield. Followed by a rainbow to the east. Nice little storm.
