SnowenOutThere

I was asleep

Happy B-day @mappy

Dying, we were all dying both physically for the swimmers and mentally for the parents and volunteers.

The same thing happened to me but to the west of you, just a 5 minute drive off from the heavy rain.

I was trying to make a joke should of included a /s.

What's next using something like golf balls, what has this world come to.

I also had no idea how many other people on this board swam or have their kids swim.

I did not know you people swam/swim in the NVSL my team is in the Red (top) Division of the CSL league and its pretty competitive. Its still fun however and its great to be in a more community driven mode than the super competitive all year round swimming stuff. I am looking forward to at least try to make it on the Highschool team this year, the cutoff is typically around 55 seconds for 100 free and I swim that in 53 so I should be fine (I hope I am it sounds like a really fun team). Swimming is the only other real thing I do besides playing video games and checking the weather. I have a really strong age group for summer swim so you always have other people who swim all year round to push each other we also got the our teams relay record this year on the first meet with relays so it should be a really great season.

As someone who swims all year with an all year round (yay getting up at like 4am over the summer) and summer team I can 100 percent attest to that but the worst meets are those A meets in the morning when it is pouring rain and super cold out. Those meets are miserable, everyone adds time so there was not really a point and the whole morning is ruined. On B meets my team is trying to do virtual B meets this year so each team swims separately which would be amazing, but since I placed top 3 in the A meet on Saturday with the strokes I care about (freestyle, backstroke and breaststroke) I can't even swim at the B meets so I get to stay at home anyways.

I mean they are due for another century storm soon.

I got 0.04 on the edge of a shower, I guess that counts as a boom?

You would be borderline but since you're on a website that takes 20 off your life you're in the void.

I was going to say 21 but 30 works

Derecho?

Just missed the precip shaft but looked nasty

Here is the link to the rotation on the Reston storm that I think I see https://youtu.be/PWQ0EXWuez4 Went right over me.

There is rotation in the cell in Fairfax

Near constant lightning and very well organized look to the cell south of me sort of super cellular looking with the base but no rotation.

Derecho?

DCA 101 RIC 103 IAD 104 BWI 103 Think I might be late but putting it in anyways

Have had some moderate rain for about 3 ish hours here I would think but starting to lighten up.

Had a storm form right over me just south of Reston and got half an inch of rain according to my probably messed up weather station in the 10 minutes the storm lasted. Rained super hard and it was pretty cool watching a cloud form over you then just dump rain. No thunder or lightning whatsoever.

Replace east with west and you have where the convective band sets up with every winter storm.

Could you pass some of that over here, I have not had any rain all week.

The best part about this storm is that the second it left the general thunder storm and went to the marginal zone the storms formed a line and intensified.
