Mrs.J

Thanks for passing this along. I am a spotter but this will help me understand radar better. Just signed up!

Took my InLaws who were in town down to see our oldest at AU today. Beautiful day at the DuPont Market.

OHHH what a throwback! Complete with the music.

Small cell just popped up over me. Pretty good downpour.

My event is showing . 47 not too bad.

Lightning and thunder from this latest batch.

Line has finally pushed East. Pouring over here.

Kid up in Carlisle had to run back to her dorm from the dining hall. Could hear the thunder over the phone.

75 over on Furnace Mountain in VA This rain forecast all day has been tough. But decided to leave my friend’s Minis naked in hopes that any rain we may get will be brief. They have a shed roof they can get under.

Just leaving Carlisle and saw the Tornado Watch up till 7 pm so just passed it along to the kid.

So both Ms. J’s are heading back to their campus today. The DC kid just left to get dropped at Shady Grove for her metro trip to Tenleytown. The PA kid we are watching for when we need to head up to Carlisle. I see the Meso Discussion for Western PA, Eastern OH and WV. Is there any other discussions for further East in PA that I need to be aware of? Also is there any ideas of any discussions for Central MD and NoVA as I am taking care of a friend's farmette and have an afternoon/ early evening feed to do. Thanks!

Some rumbles and lightning. Caught me by surprise as I thought we were done for the day.

So I just got back from my trip up to Carlisle. Rain and wind all the way down Rt. 15. Got to the exit for 340 and hit that line. Dumped buckets and caused minor ponding all along Ballenger Creek Pike. Back home and my station is at .54”.

Currently 57 and cloudy. While I know we need the rain the planned drive up to Carlisle, PA today to take the younger college kid for a knee MRI and I am not looking forward to driving up and back Rt. 15 with it.

Rude morning temps. Have been doing farm sitting all last week. Today is the last day and a temp of 21 with a feels like of 10 the barn duties took way longer than they have. Have to go back this afternoon for the last feed and prepped all the food to just dump and throw hay out and leave. Non heated water buckets are frozen over so will top off the heated buckets.

I am planing on taking advantage of this week and doing my winter pruning. Catmint and Liriope need to be cut back.

That line came through. Had a decent downpour. Wind has kicked up now. Starting to get twigs tossed up against the back of the house.

Snow is barely covering grass surfaces. Even though it is 28 the roads and sidewalks barely have a dusting on them. And they were not treated. Have had a steady snow since around 4. I know we were on the low end anyways but just interesting to see with the temps thought the roads would be more covered.

Seeing some light flurries up here in SW Frederick Co. just now.

Oldest Ms. J down in Tenleytown said it just started snowing.

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.

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.

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.

Eyeballing out my window looks to be around 5”. Will check when Mr. J goes out to clear the drive.

I am not surprised as I am watching the neighbor kid clean off his car to go who knows where in this.
