Hopefully they can clear the wreckage (and hopefully no one else has died) fairly quickly but not sure how the harbor will be affected by the equipment building a new bridge over the next 2 years.

Just had the yard guy here and it developed into an interesting convo. He said that our side of the mountain is the worst place to try and grow grass that he has as to his customers. He pretty much backed our next door farmer and said that the combination of being so high with little tree shade, like a usually higher elevation area would have, along with the great valley leaves us in a drought seemingly all summer, every summer. Also, it is not warm out at all. LOL. 42 at 10:30 on March 26 in mostly sun.

I know what you mean. When I was young, I once saw a video of a terrorist sawing the neck of a hostage and it set me back even to this day. Sometimes we do not need to see everything.

Yes, as Sauss said the economic impact is going to felt. Not sure how long it will take them to clear the water and then how much boat traffic can go by when the bridge building starts again. Google Maps says that road is closed until Dec 2024 but seems likely to be much longer than that. New Car availability in the east seems assured to be impacted. The first time there is a major accident on I95 or 895, it is going to be a newsworthy mess.

I see a lot of people down talking the impact on Baltimore car and truck traffic. The bridge handles 30-40K vehicles per day of which 80% are between the 12 hours between 7A and 7P meaning 2300-2400 additional vehicles each hour on I95 and 895 during the 12-hour stretch. It is estimated it will cost 500 million to 750 million to rebuild though some permanent areas from the previous bridge may be usable and afford a lessening of that cost.

34 here. There is a video of the collapse on Cnn and Foxnews for anyone that did not see it. Hard to fathom what this will mean for Baltimore right now. Shipping and car traffic going to be tough for a while. Sonar is finding cars under water.

Except they were not wrong this time, they forecasted 54-55.

Looks like we are topping off at 52. For once the temp did not exceed predicts. NWS had 54 or 55 for MDT which is where they are sitting.

Ouch, not using that word any more regardless...urban dictionary suggests it is a racial related term.

That's what she said.

I thought it implied wet, soggy and damp. LOL. Your way makes more sense though. That is what I get for picking up stuff from the MA.

Morch

Noon meeting so EB nooners....sunny, pretty windy and 44.

Yea, it would take more warmth that the GFS has to add 1.0 to the total and I suspect it goes down some by tomorrow AM as well. Even if MDT gets to 55 today, their daily mean would only be 43.

We (MDT) are already down to 12 are we not? Maybe you meant final tally after this week.

The latest GFS is the nightmare spring scenario people are always talking about. A whole run of Morch due to the Atlantic finally coming alive. Not warm, not cold.

Not much frost this way. Down to 27 though.

28 here.

#ebayis4u. Is giving out scarves opening day similar to the groundhog declarations re: their forecast? Are the Phils saying cold spring?

Peg takes it on the chops. If I were you I would not cancel yet. Every day it vacillates between rainy and just cloudy. And, I think there is still a chance of snow next weekend.

Definitely makes it ok to be outside despite it being 44 (the sun) but I am wearing slacks and long sleeve shirt. Breeze is just too cold for shorts here. I have pretty much put my summer wear away after looking at LR. I had broken it out in early March. Early March may be the high point for a while except a random day when a storm cuts. Your game may be dry yet though.

After a yard walk, I am thinking the first mow will be April 6ish. May be a partial mow. Starting to see some growth but if we get frost the next 2 nights it may stunt. Also see very small buds on the Maple tree so they are looking mid Aprilish for full bloom. Hibiscus bushes/trees have no buds making this the latest they will ever bloom since Spring 2019. Usually they are budding by late March.

The GFS is not warm either.....a lot of chilly days. 43 here for the high today. Probably tops or maybe gets to 44. Going to be wearing colder weather clothing late this year.

36 here at michaux brewery. Wanted to sit outside but was not to be.

Congrats, you sound proud which you should be. Still only 30 here. This has been one of the 5-6 coldest stretches of the year so far over here A 19, 22 and 21. Maybe two more mornings in the 20's coming up.
