Congrats! I see how close it is to Mt. Washington -- always a hoot to get the point-and-click forecast from the top of that thing. Surprised to find a thin layer of ice on top of the bird bath this morning. Looking forward to some sun this weekend, and maybe some wild weather on Monday.

Sleet/freezing rain near Germantown, 30 degrees.
-
Light snow and 30 near Germantown. What's going on near Hagerstown? Nice looking radar up there.
-
I fully expect that to happen. We'll get an ideal pattern and a couple coastals to give us low 40s and rain in late April/early May. 27 and cloudy.
-
I told family, friends and co-workers that last Tuesday's snow might be the only one of the winter. I hope I get shamed mercilessly.

1.5" for Milestone area of Germantown

Wow that is a great pic! I love our cardinals and recently learned that they typically live their whole lifespan (up to 10 years or more) within just a mile or so radius of where they were born, and mate for life. We get a kick out of watching our male feed his mate seeds beak to beak. I thought we were done, but radar sure built back! Closing in on an inch.
-
Just about over in Germantown, looks about a half inch. Given the winter we are in, I was just happy to see snow falling!
-
Got about 1 inch here (two miles NE of Germantown); 33 degrees. Got a short period of sleet, and now very light rain. Shout out to Radarscope -- that precip depiction is really accurate showing the changeovers.

One of my wife's coworkers lives in Manchester and texts us when it snows, like this morning. Can you imagine what that spot would be like if it was 2,000 feet?
-
Just had some light flurries in Germantown. I thought "what the heck" because the sun was out with mostly clear skies out my window looking south. A cloud just floated overhead and dropped some flakes.
-
The lightning was really bad in central MontCo. We heard a bunch of fire trucks going up Rt 355 which turned out to be a house fire from a lightning strike (see story below). Two Families Displaced by Lightning Fires

Racking it up here after being dry for a while. Aug 18: 0.3 Aug 20: 0.2 Aug 21: 0.3 Aug 22: 1.1
-
Best thunderstorms of the summer! Got three cells train over with heavy rain and frequent lightning for 40 minutes. Rain has let up but still lots of lightning all around. I've had a bunch of close strikes, with a couple within a few hundred feet. Not much wind which is fine with me.
-
And there it is! Blew up so fast that there is nothing until the last frame, then BAM.
-
Just had a pretty loud thunderclap in NE DC near Union Station, even though there's almost nothing on radar (yet). Fun walk to Union Station in a bit?

2019 Mid Atlantic Lawn, Garden, Pool, etc. Thread
BlizzardNole replied to Eskimo Joe's topic in Mid Atlantic
Very nice! I have a couple chrysalises that will hatch in a few days. We are getting to the time when I will start finding them on the fence, house siding, etc. I am definitely doing the dill, fennel and parsley next summer. -
1.8 from the storms yesterday. Bout time!
-
Got nailed good in downtown DC a few minutes ago. Sheets of rain with probably 50 mph gusts and some close lightning. I am happy! Glad I wasn't walking up to Union Station in that!
-
Yep looks good. Just wish I was home to see it. Hoping for one here in DC or maybe a nice one on the train ride home.
-
Hey Yoda, yeah looks like a cell went through to give my parched yard a drink. I'm in DC and hoping for a big one to hit here this afternoon (just not at 5 PM LOL). Looks like some training setting up in Southern FredCo.
-
Heading to Frederick this evening for dinner with relatives -- might actually have a chance to see a thunderstorm since I will be out of the damn dome I live under. Haven't cut the grass in weeks.
-
I got off the MARC train at the Germantown station just after 6:00 to a heavy, wind-blown downpour that soaked me from the waist down, despite an umbrella. I get home to the Milestone Microdesert to blazing sun and dry, dusty ground. This place is just unbelievable how it does this over and over. And now of course there's rain heading into Frederick missing to the north. I don't know if it's Sugarloaf blocking stuff or what but this is an absolute weather ****hole.
-
I managed to get 0.3 but just 1-2 miles south got over an inch. Ground is still hard as rock.
-
Got almost nothing as nice looking cells missed in every direction. Look at this shot! This happens waaaaay too much to be just coincidence. There is something really strange about this spot. I've had ONE thunderstorm this whole summer.
