    Not severe in Germantown but some good lightning and rolling thunder. I love those kind of storms at night

    Just had the most intense thunderstorm I've seen in years here. I was just arriving back from College Park after moving kids out of apartment and it hit right as we got off 270. We crawled the last three miles with 50-60 mph winds, blinding rain and close lightning. Got home and was pleasantly surprised to see my dozens of seedlings and flowers still on a table out in the yard -- I was afraid they would have been blown off. Just as I said "phew" the HAIL started! I got real worried for a minute but it was never more than nicked sized. I don't like hail. At all. I have seen baseball sized hail twice in my life -- Kettering, MD in 1978 and Orlando, FL in 1992 where windows were smashed, cars and roofs were ruined, and I never want to see it again.

    Look at the difference between the Naval Academy and just a few miles away! People near the Bay are loving the free AC

    Imagine planning an outdoor May wedding this year -- 1st Saturday upper 40s with rain, 2nd Saturday light rain and cool, 3rd Saturday mid-upper 90s. Ah, May in the Mid-Atlantic

    Parents (4 miles south of Dunkirk) said marble-sized hail and wind, and the rain was so intense for a few minutes that it overtopped the gutters. They have a new car and no garage/carport so they were really relieved when the hail didn't get bigger

    My parents live in northern Calvert, just south of Dunkirk. Might be a little wild there

    This will be the latest I ever get my garden in! I really need a few dry days - hopefully coming up this week. I've got trays of milkweed, lantana, rue, annual vinca and sunpatiens ready to go. I had one black swallowtail chrysalis over the winter that hatched last week. Little fella

    Nice day again. It's weird looking at the temp map and seeing upper 80s/low 90s all the way past Montreal, while South Carolina is sitting in the 60s

    Very nice afternoon in the 70s and variable clouds. Going to be great walking weather in a little while. I can't believe the same low that detonated last weekend's weather is coming back to get us this weekend

    I don't have a gauge out but the Rainfall Map has me at 1.5 new overnight and 3.3 for the event. The grass is so green it glows LOL Sorry to anyone that had outside plans this weekend. Imagine couples that picked today for an outdoor wedding

    Some bits out of that disco with the obligatory why not February A strong, slow moving coastal storm That secondary low will continue to develop off the coast and sit with little movement Saturday into Sunday initial thump of overrunning precipitation As the coastal low spins up...frontogenetic precipitation on its northwest flank

    Mappy PSU jackpot?
  13. BlizzardNole
    My maples are full leafed out now with not a single whirlybird seed. I can't believe it! Maybe it was that chainsaw stare I gave them last summer
  14. BlizzardNole
    That back-door front sure gave us a "wedgie" but the sun is finally peaking out. WV is cooking with temps in the mid/upper 80s
  15. BlizzardNole
    Low of 33. Looking forward to some beautiful weather starting today
  16. BlizzardNole
    That's a great pic! I was in Calvert last weekend and saw a couple tigers. None up in upper MontCo yet

    WTOP has an article on the 20-year anniversary of the La Plata Tornado. What a monster that thing was
  18. BlizzardNole
    Still just 44 at mid-day on April 28 with full sun. Impressive
  19. BlizzardNole
    Overcast, 36 and breezy but the hummingbirds are undeterred and visiting both feeders
  20. BlizzardNole
    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
  21. BlizzardNole
    I've seen pics of accumulated hail like that, but when you look at the woods in the distance they look bare like winter

    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

    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
  24. BlizzardNole
    Wow check out those cams in the Frostburg area!
  25. BlizzardNole
    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
