Kay

Nothing Sat and about 0.2" between last night and today. Did some planting and watered everything yesterday so the gentle rain on top has been nice. Plants visibly enjoying.

Dry weekend here so far. Today was nice for planting, I'm another who did that. Maybe some hope on radar.

I drove from Harford Co. to Baltimore and out of the dense smoke zone around noon. Have been on the 9th floor at Hopkins watching the view gradually get smokier all afternoon.

Super smoky.

Strangely foggy down at the swamp this morning. South River heavy fog also, but lifting. 

Clear otherwise. DP 66

Foggy this morning on the Bush River as well.

There was a little storm in the vicinity 3-4 pm, to the southeast. Nada here.

7.5-8" rain in May per nearby PWSs.

Numerous reports of site build structural damage and partial building collapses in the Dundalk and Essex areas.

Nothing severe up here but it was especially noisy...continuous thunder from all that activity crossing the Baltimore area into the Bay.

0.7" rain

I usually do not post in the banter thread anymore. But my anxiety is up this morning. Mr. J has been on a Corvette run with his dad this week. They are currently in Bowling Green KY. The weather there later today is showing he will be in the Moderate risk area for storms with strong tornadoes possible. I told him I would be watching all day to help them be safe. I just recently took the Advanced SKYWARN training on Radar and feel a bit more comfortable when viewing it. But in the back of my head I would rather he and his dad not be there. 

Understandable to worry and monitor for them MrsJ. I just took that training, too, in April. State College mets did a great job. Maybe we were in the same webinar

Frederick Scanner reporting a water rescue in Walkersville at Devilbiss Bridge Rd./ Monocacy River. Apparently someone put in a kayak and it was found without the Kayaker. 

Also mountain rescue on Appalachian Trail at Annapolis Rock.

Little over a half inch so far. Many happy frogs.

Wind

I hope none of our mets and scientists here have been affected. What you do is important and we value you.

We needed a reaper thread where we can go to surrender winter. I enjoyed that last year. Time to let this winter go.

This is every thread right now 

48, sunny with a south breeze, just did a walk and wish I could hike all day.

Don't miss the wind!

Save it and stipulate that your heirs must also save it

High of 28. Dry, cloudy, pummeled with peeks of afternoon sun. Chasing snow showers tomorrow bc why not.

I've had this Virginia Beach cam mitchnick posted in the background all afternoon. Getting smoked as darkness arrives https://www.surfchex.com/cams/virginia-beach-web-cam/

Steady light snow most of the afternoon hasn’t accumulated much here in north Calvert. Still enjoying the scenery but thinking of what could’ve been with this storm

Beautiful. The scenery does make the most of little snow.

It’s nothing to do with the supposed inability of DC/Baltimore drivers to drive in the snow. It’s very cold and a quick coating can result in sheets of ice on plenty of surfaces as cars drive on the powder and compress it.

This seems right...there was a whole discussion here yesterday about a super crippling 1" snow in cold temps (DC area I think, forgot year)

Snow just starting in VA Beach. Lot of NC beach cams at this link too if interested.

Snowing good now, fishing pier and beach are whitening.

Good luck, Virginians. Post pics!

Low of 17.  River ice is back.
