In the wake of the storm, 50 mph gusts and near 0 windchills.

That’s amazing, usually it’s drip drip drip after big ones…

One heck of a wet system, 1.28” of rain so far.  As a miserable A F day as I can remember.

Never put your WX station above a heat vent or hot car engine.

 

Or behind runway 1/19 at Reagan National!

Wet Bulb at 33.1….patiently awaiting my 33 and rain!  In the meantime, Drinks!

Let’s keep things in perspective….we aren’t in full panic mode like 9/10 Decembers where we are wondering if we will need our AC on Christmas Eve!  The possibility that we actually have possibilities of real winter  is positively refreshing!  

Avatar was released December 18, 2009…we all know what happened on December 19, Mappy got married.  The new Avatar will be released on December 16, 2022…just saying.

I saw this one at a cidery in northern Virginia last Saturday ….we had a great conversation (granted I had hit 2 wineries and I was on my 5th hard cider), but mr. wooly worm said expect 2009-2010 again!

27.7 this am, coldest of the season.  Has DCA hot 32 yet ?

I know not on topic, but!!!!  Check out the game on espnU, western Michigan vs central Michigan…awesome snow globe game!  Wednesday MACtion!

Interesting contrail, don’t think I have every seen anything like this…pretty cool.

.93” of rain, max wind gust 19.9 mph.  Grass should turn back green, at least for a while.

Amazing sunset!  Thanks Ian!

Yea! Sure sign we are leaving summer behind…

BWI: 11/29

IAD: 11/8

DCA: 12/2

Going to go out on a limb here and say that, barring some cheap torch downslope day, we're probably done with the 95° + heat in the area until next summer.

Pretty sure we hit 90 + in October, and don’t forget July in December around Christmas!

Interesting radar, showers moving east and west, I expect a black hole to open up when they collide.   2.37” for this event.   Grass is living it!

Dry at home, dry at the beach. Bay is warm, beer is cold.  

As long as the beer is cold, nothing else matters!

Home in Alexandria looking north to DC. Bat and lightning.

Nice shot!  Doing the same here!  Nice show to the north!  Lightening, lightening bugs, bats and a pretty sweet crescent moon.  

1.31” since yesterday.  Not bad, the grass will live another day or 2

Outside a tropical system, I can’t really recall a straight north to south storm movement scenario in the past like we are seeing today…very unique

Firehose treatment for the heart of dc and straight down the Potomac…glad I didn’t water the grass today.

again - guaranteed we will pay for this.

We put a down payment on Friday!  I got a bad feeling about this Summer…

Hard to recall a better June morning.  55 slight breeze and the sky is painfully blue.  Happy Father’s Day to all the Dad’s out there.  My son picked an awesome day for his gift to me…he is pulling weeds.  Lucky he doesn't have Friday’s weather!
