My son and I were outside playing tennis when we heard it. Thought it was a tanker explosion or a plane crashed. But what was weird was there was a gush of wind right after for like 20 seconds. No wind all day before. Boom. Then gush of wind. Then no wind for the rest of the day. I was thinking of those pressure waves after a bomb explodes. Wind is pushed outward, then rushes back in. Could a pressure wave at 30k feet reach the ground like that and causes gusts? No more wind after that. Light breeze for the rest of the day. So it had to be related.

Oh boy. Not this again. Bone dry looking at radar dry up.

If the upcoming snow threat becomes more real, I may have to go and rescue my weather station that is currently hanging off the side of my roof at a 30 degree angle. hehe. Might just get a new one. The anemometer broke.

I ate a few during my bike ride. Good protein boost. hehe

Has some sleet move through NE. DC for about 5 seconds this afternoon. Nice little surprise.

Who turned the A/C off?

Git 'er done!

Is it gon' snow?

Snow is coming. I can smell it. Perhaps I can finally use my brand new electric snowblower that's still in the box from last winter. 'Cause you know if you buy snow removal equipment, it won't snow that season. But if you by outdoor sports equipment thinking it won't snow, then that's the year it snows 8 times. hehe

People screaming no. Birds are like, "We got this. We're actually having fun. We worry for YOU." hehe

Which reminds me, I need to replace my weather station. Or perhaps it just needs batteries.

Really hope the remnants of IAN put a dent in this drought on my street. hehe. A good 5 inch soaker would do the trick.

Fredericksburg for the win. Lots of reds on radar.

FYI. Not sure what's going on but a weird substance fell from the sky today. Not sure what it was. It's everywhere. It's clear. Anyone know what it is? \s Got a nice rain shower in Adelphi. Heavy enough to hear through the windows.

My grass didn't turn all green from the rain. Fail.

Storms pulsed TWICE to my west and reformed to my east. Gotta love it. Southern part of the line held together well. Looks like I just need to leave my sprinklers on for 5 hours.

Let's see if I can get a break. Storms reformed around me not over me. So dry even the weeds are dying. hehe

Yeah. I love it. Not much wind. Just much needed rain.

The one over DC looks like it might produce hail soon.

I have a feeling things are going to get interesting for me in the next 20 minutes.

For once I will be inside a cluster/line of storms. Bring it!

Radar looks like the whole area may cash in on some rain.

That means yard work for me. I had an excuse because it was too hot. Now that excuse will be gone. lol

Storms firing to the west. Hope I get a rain jackpot today. Hot as hades.

Guess I'll wait for a chance tomorrow. Meanwhile, sprinklers on.
