65 Miles to your north imby is a drought 

That is so crazy...

Blinding rain for the past hour, FFWarnings now blossoming, every dang device is blaring

Who is ready for a drought?  This is is getting ridiculous...

Nice tstorm, gusty winds gust up to about 35-40, maybe a gust to near 50, prolific lightening, knocked power out for a minute or two.  I rate a tad above average tstorm.  Low end Warning verified imho.

I fall into this trap every year, open the pool early, surely this will be the year 90s return in may.... Enjoying my one pool day in May.  Maybe I get another tomorrow...Then lights out for a while...temp 84, cocktail is cold and alcoholic....

I'm on the board for the pool I belong to.  We have been working on plans for the possibility we will open with rules in place that follow the guidelines.

For small neighborhood pools the list is daunting.  One of the bigger issues is enforcement.  Pools are mostly staffed with teenagers.  they will now be asked to do things above and beyond what they are supposed to do.  Training, supplies, cleaning, etc, etc, etc.  

And the policing they might have to do opens such a can of worms.  We live in an age of entitlement where members don't want to listen and be told when they are doing or their kids are doing something wrong.

It is a massive headache and without clear guidance from the health dept the planning for opening has been a nightmare.

My investment...ok folly, of installing an inground pool 7 years ago might actually payoff this year....it better be hot and sunny this summer, so far, not so much.....   I can't wait to do video conference calls while floating in my pool...#winning....until I drop the phone in the drink.....

Another COVID casualty. My kids summer swim league canceled due to the pandemic.  Got some sad kids in the house tonight

Same, my son is totally bummed.  Will be interesting to see how if they open community pools.

Mine so far have been fine. Easy, quick. Mr Map hasn't had issues either, as far as I know. In all honesty, the working from home and managing a kid thing has been really smooth for us the last almost 3 weeks. 

we only have the one, so i will never know if any others would be bitches from the start lol 

Am I the only one that read this like you were talking about your BM’s, in referencing H2Os comment?  ..fine, easy and quick...

Full sun, not a cloud in the sky, went from 58 to 67 in like 15 minutes 

Massive fire on route one in Alexandria section of Fairfax county.  Smoke showing up well on radar.

Looks like it's starting to show a way for our region to be on the right side of the gradient at some point  d11+. As is it's a brief window of a few days with cold air overhead. It would only take 1 slow juicy gradient wave to launch our area out of the disaster zone. Guarded skepticism is warranted until it hits a range that is believable. I'm obviously pessimistic for now. If it breaks right we'll run naked in the streets. Or at least wearing candy apple red speedos.

Please let us know when it's safe to start talking about PD3....

Nice and snowy up here in Canaan Valley, yeah snow.  About an inch, 26 degrees.  Whole different and wonderful world up here!

I had a few good bursts of snow showers here this afternoon...0.1” before it melted.  It just started snowing again.  NWS Pitt forecasting 1-2” for Canaan & Deep Creek...hopefully we boom so you’re able to get some good snows.  

Hoping for the best.  I would be happy with  1-2 at this point.  

This Winter Sucks!  Even Canaan Valley, WV is brown!  

Happy January 25th day everyone!  Proof that miracles sometimes do happen!  Just not lately!

@SnowGolfBro @GATECH

Things are looking good for your chase to Canaan this weekend. 

Thanks!  Love how the latest Euro gives Canaan the deep purple!  Through Late Monday.

Looks like a good weekend to be in Canaan.  Which just happens to be my plan.  Wouldn’t mind a WSW event to materialize while I’m there!  Sure beats praying for a miracle to see a sloppy inch in Montclair lol

Me Too!  If I get snow in Canaan I am good with this dumpster fire of a winter!  If it can’t snow there it can’t snow anywhere!  Hopefully this storms winds up and we get favorable lake effect. I am there sat to to Tuesday 

Interesting clouds, almost lenticular which would be very rare around here.  Taken from the Woodrow Wilson bridge looking south!  

  Wow, I am looking at clouds I am so bored with the weather

Sorry that it fizzled out from DC north. It was sure nice to see and have everyone get in on.  Just hope things are right and more come for y’all later

Picked up .6” from that little thump band. Way more than I expected so I’m happier than a pig in shit. 
 

Temps are cold. 25.6/22. 

Wow, you got about 200% of what I did.  Slight coating, road and sidewalks just wet.  Glad I didn't get up early to watch the "show"

Stuff building back near Culpepper, let’s see what that does!

When it flipped it flipped. Somewhat impressive if painfully delayed

Yep sure did....but here comes the backside!  Beggars can’t be choosers I guess.  Got to go through some nice yellows first!

Legit snow globe now!
