  1. Those were some impressive hail pics and videos! I was in Orlando in spring 1992 and there was an incredible storm that left hail inches deep in parts of that area. Breezy and cool today but looking forward to a nice Friday and Saturday
  2. I've seen pics of accumulated hail like that, but when you look at the woods in the distance they look bare like winter
  3. So I did a lot of complaining in this thread last year about the literal billions of helicopter seeds that the three maples in my back yard spew in every direction for weeks. (Huge mistake planting those darn things 20 years ago). Well this year they are going straight to leaves with no seeds at all! How did that happen? Maybe the very warm winter thus less stress on the trees? Talk about a pleasant surprise
  4. Mostly sunny in upper MontCo now what a beautiful afternoon! We visited Calvert yesterday and went to a restaurant on the bay in Herrington Harbor. It was near 80 at my parents' house on Rt 4 but it felt like the AC was running by that bay just a few miles away
  5. Wow check out those cams in the Frostburg area!
  6. Our hummingbird has been coming back and forth to the feeder despite temps starting in the upper 30s. Tough little bugger! I am looking forward to the warmth coming later this weeks as I really want to get my trays of flower seedlings back out in the sun
  7. Cloudy and 40 after starting in the upper 30s. April is always good for a Gulf low up the east coast, isn't it? I'll just do indoor stuff and salivate over next weekend's forecast!
  8. Hummingbirds arrived yesterday! Looking forward to hitting some garden centers over the next few weeks
  9. Today is gonna be great! I don't mind the chill coming because it's going to be raining anyway. Looking real nice again by mid next week It's officially spring for me as my hummingbirds have arrived
  10. North Beach, MD at 84 and a buoy just a couple miles out in the bay is 58 with wind of 18 mph! A toasty 84 in Germantown as well. I wish we could just average this and early next week temps
  11. Overall grade of D for upper Montgomery County, MD. Had several small snows for a winter total of around 12-ish, and was the third straight winter without a significant snow (6" or more). Hoping the "law of average" comes into play for next winter.
  12. Had a little sleet this morning and now it's sunny and 60! I looked at the obs map and saw 40s in Garrett Co while parts of WV not far away are in the 80s
  13. Just had a pretty good wind-blown graupel shower in Germantown -- temp was 47 when it started. That's the highest temp I've ever seen frozen precip
  14. Nice place! Saw thundersnow in your forecast -- enjoy! Sprinkles and 46 in Germantown
  15. Partly sunny and 75. 70s stretch from NH all the way to FL
  16. This is awesome, 70 and sunny! Got the little garden seedlings on the deck getting their first taste of sun
  17. Wanted to major in met at FSU which specializes in hurricanes. Calc 2 and physics convinced me to go with business instead
  18. I'm pretty sure you're right that it was March 30. It capped off a ridiculous March with a 5-6" cold powder the first week, 10 inches on the 17th, then that March 30 event. Crazy
  19. Neat pic with the streaks -- it reminds me of a flight I took years ago from BWI to CHI after a strong arctic front. It was super clear and you could see narrow streaks downwind from the lakes where lake effect snow bands hit and brown in between. Wish I could have taken a photo but no cell phone then!
  20. Snow shower with wind and down to 26 in Germantown. Looks wintry with drifting in the hilly part of the yard and grass covered. The car in the driveway must be completely crusted under that snow -- might just let it melt Monday. To think I hit the wipers yesterday to wash pollen off!
  21. Sky darkened back up and light snow falling again as the bands move in; 29 degrees. Nice event for some of us but the WTOP headlines make it look like the area got crushed LOL
  22. Wow that is incredible! That wasn't all wind. Your micro climate is fascinating -- how about summer? If Balt is say mid-90s, what about you?
  23. Trees still have a lot of snow on them despite the winds. Looks very wintery with about 3 inches, and hoping for a squall later. How 'bout this from down south -- Knoxville had seven straight days in the 70s ending Monday, then 50s and 60s with a high of 67 yesterday, and got 5-8 inches!
  24. Eyeballing 3" in Germantown; 29 degrees. Snow is lightening up but the gusty winds are blowing snow off roofs and trees into impressive sheets. Every so often we get a real roaring gust and it's a whiteout for a few seconds. And I took a walk yesterday afternoon at 62 degrees
