  1. I was wondering about that too with much smaller amounts nearby, but maybe a lucky heavy burst? It's just curious though right on the water. Some good measurements in southern MD though, for example a couple inches in LaPlata (hi diatae!) Got 1.5 in Germantown which triples last winter's total MoCo schools delayed so my wife's preschool is closed. That's a gift since she's dealing with a bad cold and does not get paid on sick days
  2. Yeah just a light rain event, never had more than brief moderate rain although the thunder this morning was nice. Rainfall east of the bay looks impressive
  3. A number of years ago I drove to South Mountain Park in a similar setup and went from wet ground to 5" of snow and big cottonball flakes coming down. It was just 33 miles from my house. I was struck by how little snow was OTG close by near Frederick in the snow shadow Rain and 56
  4. Thunder in Germantown! It's a treat for us because thunderstorms are so rare here in summer due to rain shadow -- I might get two or three over a whole season if I'm lucky
  5. We had a nice snow shower at 10:20 am yesterday near Germantown. For a few seconds it was moderate snow
  6. Some light flurries near Germantown
  7. SNOW GAME! Iowa State at Kansas State, 8 PM tonight (Fox). This should be fun to check out: Today: Snow, mainly after 11am. The snow could be heavy at times. High near 30. Total daytime snow accumulation of 3 to 5 inches possible. Tonight: Snow, mainly before midnight. Low around 18. New snow accumulation of 2 to 4 inches possible.
  8. What a shock going from near 80 yesterday to low 40s now. Glad we're getting some rain though
  9. I'd love that! I enjoy the occasional winter storm but do not like the six months of depressing bare trees and dreariness at all Sunny and still 80 at 5 pm
  10. 37 here and frost on some roofs but not on grass. It's funny seeing temps in the low to mid 50s in Garrett County as the heat wave starts to roll in
  11. Yeah that better not happen this winter! Just over 0.5 here
  12. Drippy droppy day as we get ready to get the crockpot going, the beers chilled and an all-day football marathon I found a monarch chrysalis on hanging from our fence and it's hatching this morning. With periods of rain and highs only in the 50s, it's going to be a guest for a few days!
  13. I believe that's right -- October 10, 1979. I was in middle school in Calvert County and everyone was stunned seeing 2-3" of snow on the ground and still-green trees. Can't believe it's been 44 years!
  14. Cloudy and 69 as our mini heat wave comes to an end. We got a surprise light shower last night. Yesterday evening my wife asks should we cover the deck chairs and I'm like nah. Oops
  15. What a gorgeous day and looking forward to a couple more. I'm trying to take in as much as I can of the green trees and flowered gardens knowing that months of dead-looking landscape lurks around the corner My 25-year old board name doesn't match me any more LOL. Give me nine months of summer
  16. Nice sunny morning with a couple hummingbirds still zipping around. The next few days look glorious
  17. I just read their forecast disco -- talked about of 5-7" in some areas with up to 10" possible. Yeesh! Cloud cover looks thin here so hoping for some sun today
  18. I thought this was an interesting blurb at the bottom of this article from a few days ago:
  19. Sunshine in downtown DC! First sun in 5 days and it's my in-office day
  20. About 30 so far with about 10 to go. My wife took a few into her pre-school class for the kiddos to watch them hatch and release them So now my zone has partly sunny tomorrow and Thursday -- yes please! I'm really looking forward to that nice stretch starting Saturday. We need to cram the good weather in before deep fall arrives
  21. OK this weather is depressing, especially with lots of my monarch butterflies hatching this week. I let about 12 go early yesterday when there were some peeks but today is just bad. Ones hatching today will have to wait
  22. Thanks for posting that link! I've been looking for a good precip map after iweather ruined theirs I got another 1.1 overnight into this morning for an event total of 2.6 and an incredible 8.4 for September. The yard is lush, green and squishy after being rock-hard during the drought. I went from August 7 to Sept 8 with zero rain, capped by that ridiculous heat wave at the end
  23. Got a good burst before the lull and have 1.0 so far Good day to watch football all day long!
