  1. Airline Videos Live I am watching on YouTube on my TV. They have been streaming live from LaX since 10 am. Still going.
  2. Ok I know I am a weather geek. But I also love trains and planes. I have just recently found several live airport streams. One over in England and one from LAX. Airline Videos live. I have spent almost the whole day on the couch watching planes land and take off at LAX. And on top of that I have FlightRadar24 to figure out each flight. Going to make some popcorn!
  3. Had to go digging for this thread British fare tonight. Fish pie and peas
  4. That stretch of 15 can be tough. That turn left off of Lovettesville Rd at the bend just before the Bridge is a lesson in patience. Occasionally you will get that one nice person that will just stop and let you out.
  5. I should get a handicap for putting that word in here
  6. Ginger Ale, Root Beer, Sprite, Dr. Pepper. I don’t really drink soda pop so the rest of the list would not cross my lips. Especially carbonated Piss Water aka Mt Dew.
  7. Mr. J and Miss J got home this morning around 2. They are tired but the flight in while bumpy at landing time and his RWD with cleared roads brought them home. The kid loved Seattle U and has moved it tied with American. She is still waiting to hear from American. So soon we will have to have a round table and spread out all her offers and have her make a decision.
  8. Temp rise is slowly rising. Have some decent freezing rain going on here. Have not been out but can see it on the trees in front of the house. They came through and plowed and actually the street looks like an ice rink. Currently 27.3.
  9. Where are you in Frederick. Sleet has been going down here for at least the last 30 min. Just curious on the line.
  10. Who here is near Dulles? My husband and daughters flight from Seattle is scheduled to take off on time at 4 PST with a wheels down time of Midnight here. How confident is the temperature rise and change to rain? They will be driving back up to Frederick and I am really thinking they just need to get a reservation and head home tomorrow.
  11. My PWS in Ballanger Creek is at 18/16 currently with 1"
  12. 81 is crazy on a good day in the snow everyone should be made to just pull off and shut it down.
  13. 19.9/7.9 First very tiny flakes here in SW Frederick.
  14. 19.2/6.8 And as of now Mr. J and Miss J's flight is still scheduled to come into Dulles at midnight.
  15. Confirmed tornado in Ft Meyers. Went through an RV park. Also one crossed 75 around mm 96 and flipped a semi. With the older Miss J off to college next year, and the second one only 2 years behind we are seriously thinking of downsizing. Will have to stay close enough to Mr J’s work for the time being. Unless they let people stay remote. Have even toyed with the idea of a condo in DC to get some city life. Here is some early storm baking to enjoy though. Apple banana GF muffins.
  16. I grew up just south of Toledo. So have driven 80/90 many times. One year went back for Christmas and got caught in a white out on 80. Got to the point that we seriously thought about pulling off and staying over night. Got behind a semi doing around 10 mph with flashing lights and just followed right behind him for a good 10 miles. We knew we could not stop or we would get stuck on the side of the road. Car was FWD. Finally got out of the band and drove on into my parents house. Will never ever do that again.
  17. What a crappy movie! Younger Miss J had a friend over awhile back and she was like we are watching Titanic because my parents told me not to watch it as it was bad. So like any kid who knows their parents don't know the best stuff around, they proceeded to watch it. Asked them after how did they like it. Both said they turned it off 30 min in and that we were right it was a crap movie! Told them we saved them 3 hrs of their day tipping them off. As a former HS Sax player this was funny!!
  18. So just went to check out the story. Tsunami advisories along the entire West coast of US up to Alaska. Mr. J and the older Miss J are in Seattle this morning.
  19. Ok I am just going to come clean. I am the one responsible for the shift on this system. I have personal reasons as you all know. I hope all the ‘s don’t blackball me here. Here is an offering of one of my homemade dinners to make up for it.
  20. I told my husband if we were on that show we would kick ass with him currently having a manual transmission and me being super with map reading skills. I am Dyslexic but between me and him we can navigate with a good old fashioned paper map. Have taught our girls how to use them also.
  21. Well we have finally made a decision for Mr. J and the older Miss J. We decided not to get their flight changed. 2 hrs. was not going to make a difference and the extra cost of $600 can be put to a better use. Plan is he is taking his car, MX 5 rear wheel drive, down and parking in one of the garages at Dulles. And they will fly out this afternoon to Seattle. Plan is there is a possibility their flight will be canceled Sunday afternoon, and if so they will rebook and stay an extra night in Seattle. Plan B is if their flight is not canceled and they get in at their arrival time of midnight and cannot drive, they will get a hotel room down near the airport until it is safe to drive back home. Plan C is this storm stays more West and they get lucky and can drive home after they get in. I have spent 2 nights with insomnia trying to figure this out and finally told myself I do not have control of the situation and what will be will be. The weather in Seattle is supposed to be beautiful for her college visit and as long as she gets to see where she may be living for the next 4 years and decide that she is fine being that far away from home that is all that matters.
