  1. 2045 center path goes right over Disney World -- that place is gonna lost its mind over that I wanted to see this one but it didn't happen so it's 2045 or bust! (I'll be 78)
  2. It would be cool to be at Lake Cedar just south of Carbondale, IL where "x marks the spot" from the 2017 and 2024 eclipses. Weather looks great there too. I wonder how rare it is to have two eclipses intersect just a few years apart?
  3. I'll second that! They're advertising three days of sun starting Sunday so better enjoy before we get days of rain again after. There's light at the end of the tunnel though as the 6-months of 40s/50s and rain that we endure here is almost over
  4. Go with the inch! I was also suffering thru a two hour Teams meeting at that time Burst of rain is thru here and had a little graupel mixed in
  5. Nice looking line moving in from the west. I await my serving of graupel
  6. Snowshoe by chance? We want pics!!
  7. Oooh Sydney is right in the center of totality at 2 PM! That's gonna be a huge event. At first I thought aw man mid-winter but July is actually their 3rd sunniest month in terms of percent of possible sunshine. Average highs in the 60s
  8. Looks like the southern side of the eyewall is starting open up as it moves thru the Eastern shore
  9. Wow at that squall line blasting thru western WV -- warning says it's moving east at 70 mph
  10. I saw that too! Earliest I can remember around here. I usually get my first sighting the 3rd week of April, and occasionally 2nd week. Looking forward to them arriving Cloudy and 57. Hope LWX radar is back up for tomorrow
  11. I don't know why but my area gets as much rain as anywhere, except summer thunderstorms. I guess it's the higher elevations to my west around to the north
  12. I think I might have had more thunder already than all of last summer LOL My area has 12-ish inches of rainfall for the first quarter of the year and April looks to start off wet
  13. Looking forward to rare sunshine today, even if windy. I think we're in for a rough spring with clouds/rain at least 50-75% of the time
  14. Already 72 in Germantown. That smoke you're seeing is from an Oil tank fire at asphalt plant
  15. Yup! I say we see some 85-plus somewhere. Northern Michigan hit 70 today
  16. Thunderstorm moving in from the SW with some good lightning
  17. Gonna be another nice one before rainy Saturday. I like the 6-10 day with way above avg temps. Hope we stay above avg thru April then normal May and below avg June
  18. Wow you're in summer form already? We're actually really wet here. We do fine in synoptic rain; it's the summer t-storms we mostly miss due to orographics
  19. WOW I can't wait to see some of your videos of this. Current Donner Pass forecast: Thursday: New snow accumulation of 8 to 12 inches possible. Thursday Night: New snow accumulation of 17 to 23 inches possible. Friday: New snow accumulation of 19 to 25 inches possible. Friday Night: Snow showers. The snow could be heavy at times. Widespread blowing snow. Saturday: Snow showers. The snow could be heavy at times. Widespread blowing snow Saturday Night: Snow showers likely, mainly before 11pm. The snow could be heavy at times. Areas of blowing snow before 11pm.
  20. A beautiful day but no walks for me for a while as I just had surgery for a torn achilles. I love gardening too but that's not looking good! Partly sunny and 58. I know it's been said a lot but we so better not get a perfect block and a gulf/east coast low in April for low 40s and rain for two days
  21. Yes much lesser amounts out west with just a few inches Hagerstown to Winchester. It was like a monster version of Jan 2000 with the heaviest amounts by the Bay.
  22. I experienced 1996, 2010 and 2016 in upper MontCo, and PD 1979 surpasses them all! I was 12 and in northern Calvert which was the jackpot of the region with 30-plus inch amounts, reports of 6" in one hour, and 8 foot drifts. My mom and a friend staying with us went out at the height of the storm at around 5 am to the street about 100 feet away. They almost got lost coming back to the house and said it was snowing sideways so intensely, it was tough to breathe. I got up around 6 am and the first thing I noticed was the deck banisters cleared off and asked why'd you clear those. Mom says oh that's the wind....go look outside. I just stood there in awe of a white hurricane with winds that must have been gusting over 60 and snow filling the air completely. After the sun came up you could see how wild it was -- there are woods about 70 feet behind the house and you could not see them at all. It was just a steady roar and whiteout. After it was over there was an unbroken drift from the roof to the ground on one side. Cars were nothing but lumps. It hit the low 40s the next two days and mid-50s three days later and the ground when it all melted was like the mud season they have up in VT. You could not walk on the grass!
  23. Wow nice info! Congrats on finding a nice place. I guess Wintergreen, Massanutten or even Snowshoe are within reasonable reach for a snow fix?
  24. We are nearing retirement and want a big yard after living in a packed development for decades. My wife is pushing for lower southern MD where my parents and sibs are and where property is cheaper. 10 or 15 years ago that would have scared the heck outta me having grown up in Calvert. Now though? Nah, what's the difference living SE of the "new Richmond" compared to NW.
  25. So jealous of those areas near Allentown now getting snow squall warnings
