    Getting some coastal action at 174, very nice run.
  2. SomeguyfromTakomaPark
    Heights substantially lower out in front. Pretty big shift from 00z.
  3. SomeguyfromTakomaPark
    This has been very noticeable. As a runner I still haven't had to put on more than a base layer/t shirt combo for a run. I haven't even been wearing a hat! Usually in January I have to bundle up at least a few times. What's the coldest temp at DCA this season? Like mid 20s or something pathetic like that?
  4. SomeguyfromTakomaPark
    That was a decent storm in Takoma park. 6-8 inches I believe. It was of course a little sloppy cause it was Late March IIRC but it was fun.
  5. SomeguyfromTakomaPark
    We need the cold. It's barely been below freezing here it seems. A cold day this winter has been like a high of 44 and a low of 33. I'm not expecting much, if anything, until we get real cold on this side of the CONUS.
  6. SomeguyfromTakomaPark
    I wouldn't say I'm worried, I'm happy to see a modeled storm that doesn't miss us. I'm just being cautious because with those temps it's better not to go in with huge expectations (at least where I live in urban heat island hell).
  7. SomeguyfromTakomaPark
    At the peak of the storm (00z Wed) you'd have to go to like I81 or State College to find temps at or below 32 while it's in the mid 30s in immediate DC metro.

    Euro does indeed nuke us next week but there is no real cold air within 100s of miles, gonna be dicey if it plays out like that.
  9. SomeguyfromTakomaPark
    Yeah and now the NYC metro area is on the upswing along with LA, Texas, and Florida.

    Has anyone read Alex Berenson’s on Twitter about covid? Just terrible stuff.
  11. SomeguyfromTakomaPark
    Wisconsin almost 8k new cases and 40% positive. Not good.
  12. SomeguyfromTakomaPark
    One region that has largely escaped both previous waves is the DC-Baltimore corridor. Today was one of the largest combined case counts for VA+MD+DC since the beginning of all of this. Will be interesting to see how this plays out. In my area mask compliance and social distancing are pretty well followed.
  13. SomeguyfromTakomaPark
    Ugh yeah, what a mess. Really a shame were at this point.
  14. SomeguyfromTakomaPark
    I’d be surprised too, but also we may run way past the number of infections from the spring depending on how the next few weeks go, hard to know though with the limited testing occurring in the spring.
  15. SomeguyfromTakomaPark
    New Orleans has a chance of the eye passing right over it it seems. When’s the last time a major American city got directly into an eye?
  16. SomeguyfromTakomaPark
    wow sure looks a lot faster on these videos, I guess funneling as @Windspeed mentioned.
  17. SomeguyfromTakomaPark
    Anyone know what the sustained winds were when it hit Hong Kong? The videos are nuts.

    Where is my best bet if I wanted to drive down to somewhere in st Mary's county and do some snowshoeing or XC skiing? Is st Mary's river park pretty nice? Does it have some trails? I know point lookout is nice but I don't recall it having many trails.

    Getting word that Columbia Heights Education Campus may have to be relocated for repairs. http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/dc-schools-insider/post/gray-most-but-likely-not-all-schools-to-open-thurs/2011/08/24/gIQASgZZbJ_blog.html

    13th and Monroe Also there was structural damage to Columbia Heights Education Campus. And Best Buy was flooded from broken pipes and is closed indefinitely.
  21. SomeguyfromTakomaPark
    To be fair I just read a lot of schools in Fairfax are damaged also.
  22. SomeguyfromTakomaPark
    I was in Bell during the Earthquake. I did notice one crack on the wall where some drywall or plaster had fallen.
  23. SomeguyfromTakomaPark
    According to Washington Post "D.C. Fire officials were investigating reports of significant cracks in buildings at the Ecuadorian Embassy and Bell Multicultural School, said Pete Piringer, a spokesman."
  24. SomeguyfromTakomaPark
    DCPS hasn't decided to close schools or not, they say they are doing an inspection of all 126 buildings tonight. Why does it seem like inspecting 126 buildings in one night is impossible?
  25. SomeguyfromTakomaPark
    My students (I teach high school) noticed it first. It side to side shaking of the entire school building (I was on the 3rd floor).
