I warned my wife about the potential weather when we booked a place at Deep Creek in April. Sure enough, the day we arrive next week looks like temps in the 30s and wind chills in the 10s/20s.

13 months in and some people still can't comprehend that the main point of the masks is not for the wearers. Happy to be able to sign up tomorrow, even if the system is going to be crushed by all of the Virginians that have been waiting for Phase 2.

It does not count as an earned run. I don’t think the player on 2nd rule should start until the 12th inning at the earliest.

DP 49 at DCA

Only 0.27” but everything is pretty saturated around here.

The ice cream truck came out to our neighborhood last week, timing it with Spring Break. That seemed genius.

Fairfax hasn’t opened up group 2 though.

I don’t watch much horse racing, but last to first after the final turn is pretty cool.

28.8 for my low. Unpleasant in the wind.

Flurries and 44.1

1.06” total. Everything is soaked again.

I was a little skeptical of the amount of rain the mesoscale models were putting down, but it looks like they are right. Already about a half inch and moderate to heavy rain currently.

We haven’t had a lot of cold wind though. I feel like it has been pretty reasonable.

And now I remember humidity.

79.9. Knocking on the door. 79 at DCA with gusts to 40. Very Great Plains-like day today with warm/windy.

I generally do 10 every other year. This is an off year so it is bags only. I don't really want to think about how much I've paid to have trees removed and then paid again to have different shredded trees returned.

15 cubic yards is the most that I've ever ordered at once. That took a while to distribute.

Some of us can max on downsloping WNW winds (especially DCA). Already 74.8 here.

Nectarines need to be even or above peaches. And I will not stand for any raspberry slander.

@stormtracker is correct. It is cherries. When they are in-season and go on sale in June/July, our fridge is full of them.

Yes, low voltage lighting is excellent. I love the bump in the path around the tree.

It looked like a PRE on the models leading up to the event. Shouldn’t have been surprised that it overperformed for 95 and East.

1.36. Not shabby.

0.81”. Good soak. The plants should love this in combination with the near 80 on Friday.
