Had some sun for a little bit earlier, back to misting and grey. It just won't end. 

Saigon Rain and cloud cover. I'm still in Saigon rain and cloud cover.

Please help me wish @H2O a very happy birthday! 

And a very happy birthday to you!

One downside to being a fan of a Western Conference team in the playoffs: 9:30 Eastern start times. 

Sleep? What's that?

DCA - 100

IAD - 101

BWI - 101

RIC - 102

Speaking of March, its championship week for the conference tournaments.  And next Thursday/Friday are hands down the two greatest sports days of the year.  I'll be out of the office next Friday afternoon so a few friends/I can just hang out on a local bar and watch the games.  Can't wait!

I really, REALLY thought this was the year Towson was going to dance. Still haven't made a CAA final in school history. 

2nd time this winter where Dundalk is looking like it will get more snow than the Hereford Zone. Crazy winter man. 

Cold rain here in Dundalk. Have a friend in White Marsh that is getting some snow now so I must be right near the r/s line.

Wow, GFS 

If the GFS was right, when is the last time our region had back to back WSW events in the same week?

First one I immediately think of is Feb 2010: Snowmageddon and Snowmadeggon 2: Snowpocalyse Now

Yeah a bit disappointed but not too surprised...may have 1.5" or so...warning criteria once again won't be met this time, but this is a nina after all. I can't remember the last time I saw good rates here for an extended period of time. Cut off is indeed brutal...but at least we got something nice to look at!

Been snowing heavy here for the past 2 hours I'd say and hasn't really stopped. I am in the SE part of the City/County though.

Can report we just had thundersnow here in Dundalk, long rumble of thunder about 1 minute ago. 

Can we fire Greg Roman into the sun yet?

At first I too was kinda upset at going for two...but then when I found out Humphrey went down, I kinda see what Harbs was thinking. Higher chance of winning on a 2-point conversion than risking OT with a suddenly Humphrey-less secondary. We lose that coin toss and Ben might march right down the field. Where as the 2PC was right there...higher percentage call if you ask me. I get it!

Absolutely the right call. Teams this years on 2 point conversions are successful 51.1% of the time. Getting the XP and winning the coin toss was a probability of 49.98%. So the math said going for 2 was the right move. Had Lamar not had to rush that throw with Watt coming in, Andrews walks that into the endzone.

This applies to so many here

Yup I'm the one on the right. I don't need a HECS to be happy, I'll take some snow TV while I work. 

BWI: 8.1"
DCA: 7.8"
IAD: 6.2"
RIC: 5.7"

Tiebreaker (SBY or LYH): SBY: 3.7"

Quite the deluge here in SE Baltimore County. Flooding along Pulaski Hwy in Rosedale, 695 closed at Eastern. Second round looks to be heading this way as well.

Maybe wait until J&J starts back up so you can be one and done?

Might be the best option to be honest. 

I haven't gotten the vaccine yet for a simple reason: Trypanophobia. I set up an appointment, and the day before it, I had a panic attack knowing I was getting a needle. Working on that to get the shot.

O’s kids cheer free program is a great deal. You can definitely park for free or cheap near the stadium if you know where to go, and the O’s allow you to bring in essentially any non-alcohol food and drink you want. It doesn’t have to be any more expensive, and can be much less, then going to a movie as a family.

You can't bring in outside food/drink this season though. https://www.mlb.com/orioles/ballpark/health-safety

maybe $20 if someone is just trying to get rid of a ticket but I haven't gotten tickets for less then $32 ea. at the Yard ( outfield/ upper). Anything lower level even in the far corners I paid an average of $45 ea -$60. Then you pay $30 to park and as u said all your food and beer.  Last time I took my daughters I paid $48 ea for ticket( LL but only 2 secs from the foul pole, $30 to park and about $80 for 3 beers and food/drinks/icecream . Roughly $260 that time 

Tickets around $15 for games this season, snagged two for the 12th in the upper deck behind home plate.

25% capacity, so normal attendance?

Meanwhile in Colorado, the GFS threw out the mother of all clown maps:
