OMG the news coming out of there is awful. Reminds me of Joplin

Front page of Yahoo with a story about that snow at the peaks on the Big Island of Hawaii -- LOL residents stay indoors like a lot of people live at 13,000 feet. I bet some people read the article and yell OMG a blizzard in Hawaii climate change ahhhhh The warning remains in effect from 6 p.m. Friday until 6 a.m. Sunday as up to 12 inches or more of snow is expected on the island. NWS also warns residents to stay indoors as forecasters predict winds gusting over 100 mph

I point-and-clicked the summit of Mauna Kea and got this LOL. Meanwhile 20 miles away it's low 80s The snow could be heavy at times. Some thunder is also possible. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 28. Strong and damaging winds, with a southwest wind 44 to 54 mph increasing to 70 to 80 mph after midnight. Winds could gust as high as 100 mph.

We have four solid months of this left to go!

Nice! That might help you in a winter where we might have to rely on a couple lucky clipper types storms or mixed events. Woke up to 29 here but the Gaithersburg airport hit 21 for a low -- that's getting down there!

Echoing Mattie G -- Denver would be perfect for you. My wife's cousin lives there after growing up in the Philly area and loves it. One day last year no joke they were in the mid/upper 80s and had accumulating snow the next day. Cloudy, windy at 45 here right now, just like it will be most of the time for the next five months

What a beautiful afternoon with sun and mid-50s now. With that weird noreaster-like storm in the SE, Lake City in north FL right now is rain, windy and 45 degrees

I have the same thing at my spot a couple miles NE of Germantown -- for example I was 31 this morning while Gaithersburg was reporting 25. I figure we are on some hills while that little airport is down in a flat, low area.

Gaithersburg at 25 and St. Mary's City at 50

Wow that looks like cartopper snow

I have 34 but Gaithersburg Airport reporting 28! That place is in a bowl and gets the lowest readings around. It reminds me of Tallahassee Airport which is in a low spot a few miles from town. One time it was 32 there and 51 downtown (which is on a hill) at the same time.

Calvert and Anne Arundel schools closed. East winds this strong will not be good for places like North Beach!

Got a 1.12 inch soaker with some thunder as a bonus. That was the first rain in a long time and much needed. OT but wow at Cape Cod with heavy rain and gusts to 75 tonight!

What do the better models say? (Sorry couldn't resist a dig at the Euro for last winter's awful performance)

High of 78 followed by a low barely below 60 last night! My garden is still full of lush flowers and I even saw a monarch yesterday. I like the extension of growing season knowing that 5 months of "darkness" is coming (my term for the too-long period of dead looking bare trees and dreariness)

Next week is looking nice -- sunny with upper 60s/low 70s each day. Yes please

Seeing it green with flowers and highs in the 80s today with warmth all week (lows in the 60s!) it's hard to fathom that we got accumulating snow on 10-10-79.

Gorgeous weather to be in a stadium yesterday watching the Terps go to 4-0 with low 70s and a beautiful cirrus-decorated sky. Took a long walk this morning with nice temps in the mid-50s. This is why September is great!

I caught just the edge of that bowed cell moving into northern MontCo and it produced some pretty good gusts. Looks a little hooky?

Updated FFW for eastern WV and Western VA: Showers and isolated thunderstorms are expected late tonight into Thursday morning across the watch area. Given the local enhancement of the higher terrain and a very moist air mass, widespread rainfall amounts of four to six inches are expected by Thursday morning. However, localized amounts of 8 to 10 inches are possible, especially along the ridges. Flash flooding is possible. Wow no thank you!

Got 0.25 from the edge of some big rainers that dropped 3-4 inches just a few miles away. What caused these cells to be retrograding NW? Was it a Bay breeze thing?

Yup! Fall Oct 1 - Nov 30; winter Dec 1 - Mar 31 (40s and rain!); spring Apr 1 - May 31

Wow I was wrong on this one, 1.23" which is more than I got from the Ida remnants. Great beneficial rain

I am getting ready to go out and water everything
