  1. Oldest Ms. J down in Tenleytown said it just started snowing.
  2. The oldest Ms. J is a student at American U. Just got notice that campus is closing early at 2pm today. She only had one morning class so it does not effect her much. Although she is pet sitting at a house in Chevy Chase and the people are supposed to fly in later today. They have her on standby to stay an extra night if needed.
  3. I no longer have children in FCPS MD but going off of prior afternoon start times of snow, even with a lower chance up here today, we have in the past had busses go off the mountain roads. Also even with a 3.5 hr early dismissal it still counts as a full day of instruction. So as long as they made the parents happy I think they will be fine with their decision.
  4. This is what Mr J. is going to do. He works in Rockville and I told him to take my car just in case. His MX 5 would not be ideal with slippery roads.
  5. Eyeballing out my window looks to be around 5”. Will check when Mr. J goes out to clear the drive.
  6. I am not surprised as I am watching the neighbor kid clean off his car to go who knows where in this.
  7. Wow visibility within my own neighborhood has just gone down. I can see the house right across the street from me. But I cannot see the houses across the park that is right across from me.
  8. What would interest me is all the people who decided to head out thinking it was not going to happen. Hope they are not stuck on the roads.
  9. Temp went down from 33 to 32 and big fat flakes are dumping for about the last 15 min. All lawn surfaces caved quickly. Pavement is just starting to go.
  10. I am just off the traffic circle on Ballanger Creek Pike and Elmer Derr Rd. Snow has really tapered off. Just wet surfaces here. Getting slight up ticks in my rain gauge showing .08 up from .06. Sitting at 33.
  11. My husband and I commented on it being a wet snow vs drier. It is snowing pretty good but no sticking to grass or pavement. Kind of like a March snow. Still pretty to watch.
  12. Moderate snow just started here. 34 currently. Mr. J and I are empty nesters again today so going to do a brunch with GF cheddar biscuits and poached eggs. Then starting some Slow Cooker Pork Chili Verde because tis the day for some yummy soup. Enjoy Mother Natures curve balls and enjoy the day with others.
  13. Will be interesting to watch this one in real time. One kid down in DC, me here in Frederick and other kid up in Carlisle PA. Tenleytown 36 Ballanger Creek 34 Carlisle 32
  14. So update. My parents hear from the manager of their neighborhood this morning. Their home is fine. Only lost two trees out front. Could have been way worse. The whole area is without power and so not have a timeframe for when it will be back.
  15. So my parents place is in Palmetto. Just over the bridge from Bradenton. Bradenton had a recorded gust of 100mph. Looking at current radar their place looks to be in some of the worst winds. Their place is a manufactured home. I have a not good feeling about it.
  16. Thanks. They made it to Gainesville and had to go to several stations to find gas. To get to their hotel they have another 3 hrs to go and looking at cameras traffic N of 10 looks very open.
  17. Update on the evacuation. My parents left Palmerto FL at 12. They are currently 25 miles South of Gainesville. It has taken almost 8 hrs to go 140 miles. They need to get to Macon for their overnight stop.
  18. Thanks. They have been on the road for 3 hrs and are not to Ocala yet.
  19. Parents are on their way North on 75. Everyone in their area had been told to start going by 2pm today. Around 10 they told everyone under mandatory orders to leave early. They are headed to Atlanta and I was able to find a hotel room in Macon to help break up the drive. Their home is in Palmetto on the SE side of the bay.
  20. My parents just got put under mandatory evacuation orders starting at 2pm tomorrow. They are in Manatee Co.
  21. My parents just got put under mandatory evacuation orders starting at 2pm tomorrow. They are in Manatee County FL. They will be heading up to my sisters in Atlanta.
  22. Front must have stalled. Was up in Carlisle and felt it come in. Sitting outside in downtown Frederick now for dinner and it is still humid.
