I have 3.30in of rain so far this week. I am in good shape for now. But my grass is so weak it wouldn't take much to fry it.

I randomly look at my radar this morning seeing if it was going to rain and saw Arthur swirling around in the Atlantic. This is a nice surprise and a nice break from pandemic news. Can't imagine if people have to be evacuated during this pandemic.

So, is that it?

Will this affect my afternoon run? Just kidding. But I do have a question. Those winds in DE look scary. Cat 1 type winds. Will we see those here? Hell, even 50mph winds would be scary in the DC area after such heavy rains last night.

Nice rumbles of thunder here. First thunders of spring for me. Nice. First sever thunderstorm alert on my weather radio too! Woo hoo!

Saw flurries here in Adelphi! Man it seems as though we are in Northern Florida excited to see flakes. lol. At least I feel that way. It has been a while. .

I just went to take out the trash and saw some fatties! Though they were about 5 feet apart. [emoji322] Just realized this should be in the obs forum. Mods, can you help a brother? [emoji6] .

My son was born in the middle of the March 3 2014 snowstorm. I will never give up until late March. [emoji3] .

March snow is pretty awesome. Sun angle isn't really an issue for me. We could get 10 inches in Jan and it torch the day after like 50 degrees and all the snow melts fast anyway. I have a feeling we'll have a nice consolation snow in the next 30 days. February is usually good to us. January has always been frustrating for me. Help me out, isn't February the middle of winter anyway for us?

Sleet/rain mix. 25F in Lancaster, PA .

Gosh. I remember the days when all you had was the weather channel, local news, and the NWS forecast phone number. And local channels would go off the air at night. So, all you could do was go to sleep and hope for the best. Now there is so much data at our fingertips, there is no rest for the mind or emotions. Too much data can be a bad thing for our weary data driven souls in the 21st century. .

How many people have decided to install Zoysia grass? I learned from some people in NC that Zoysia grass is great for drought-prone areas. Our area is not necessarily known for droughts, but I think it would be nice to have when we get these hot dry spells that last for a few weeks that turns regular fescue brown. I hear Zoysia maintains it's color. Now, I have an established tall fescue lawn, if I started Zoysia seeding this fall, I'm assuming it will take a few years before the Zoysia grass takes over? Or would I need to dig up my current lawn and start fresh with Zoysia?

I might end up with an inch after my second shovel. I still see fat flakes in the street lights. Temps are forecast to be above freezing tomorrow. So, at least that will help the sidewalks and steps.

Well, this storm easily passed my baseline of 5" for respectable snow! I just finished my second round of shoveling. Even took my son out for a Jebwalk this afternoon!

Snurring. IT's cold. Pulled a back muscle this morning at the gym. Real smart just before having to shovel snow.

Felt it in Silver Spring. At first I thought it was someone running on the floor, then it kept going and getting stronger. Funny, peoples' heads popped up out of their cubes like prairie dogs. lol Worst earthquake of my life. Actually saw the columns of the building swaying. On the third floor about 500 feet from the nearest stairwell. If the building fell, I wouldn't have made it. Hope this doesn't become a yearly thing. My nerves can't handle this.
