A fox just walked past my house with a fish in his/her mouth. Then headed down the street and into some woods. I wonder if there are kits. Idk if the fish was a catch or a find...but I want it to be a catch because that's much cooler. Looked fresh to me and intact. 

I escaped the wedge around 1 pm. Damp and cool when I got in the car at home...sunny and glorious when I got out in College Park.

A rumble or two earlier. Just a gentle rain at present. The breeze coming in the windows smells good.  High of 85 today. More clouds than sun made it a good afternoon for yard/garden cleanup. 

Better round came through around 11-midnight with thunder and lightning. A little over half inch rain since yesterday.

NWS has been hurt too many times under estimating the CAD/wedge. I get it.

Good week for temp gradient weenies 

Sun finally visible under the clouds, instant blinding sunset

Lol this thread gets boring in March. Snapped this pic of a remaining pile of snowcrete outside a parking garage at UMD. In January/February it was nearly at the top of that poor tree . That spot gets a lot of afternoon sun - not sure if it will make it to April, but I will update on its lifespan.

Excellent content, thank you for your service. Looks a bit like the Matterhorn

Legit gorgeous day for a bike ride. Perfect temp. Tomorrow will be too hot.

 

Just got back from a hike in the woods locally. Low 60s. 10/10 March day! I walk in these woods nearly every day and today is it - first green up is happening.

I loved the way he'd pop in and get excited about weather a continent away. A generous spirit, and those are always missed. RIP.

Yes, same. Genuine excitement. For Roger, it was definitely not just "an imby sport".

I hear the roar approaching.

Awful, sorry to hear this. He always seemed like a very nice person. RIP

I’ll never understand following an event when you think it’s a nothing burger. Go find something better to do with your time if you’re not interested. General “you”. 

Especially after making your opinion and boredom known numerous times. You're on the record and your work is done 

Finally getting rates and snow. Beautiful parachutes. No accum

I'm still at home in Harford Co where it has only been rain imby. 38. Heavier precip on the way.. Heading to Columbia in a couple hours, so tragically missing the deathbanding there.

Just caught up on like 4 pages, and despite the troll, and consistent warnings from our own throughout, I don't think a single poster is delusional about today. 

Little sad, actually. Bittersweet, not being delusional.

The GFS has been spot on this entire winter! I heard it’s verification scores are off the charts like my IQ. 

Minor quibble but I would've have gone with BAC in this analogy 

I'll be in HoCo as of tomorrow evening. Should be good for an extra inch or 3 of snowmap

Edit: semi-ninjad by Randy. I'm chasing that deathband

Thunder

Moving this here since the first rumble of spring counts as severe thread worthy (doesn't it?).

Had rain, thunder, and lightning nearby per Radarscope about an hour ago. Cleared and sun out now.

Seriously wtf.

Kind of fun though, and no stress. Just to sit and marvel at it.

Thunder

High of 73. Had a great ramble in the woods this afternoon. Not that green here yet. Almost weird to see the sun! Many turtles were out enjoying it. Frog chorus also going strong.

Haven’t even seen a daffodil bloom yet although some will likely in the next couple days. Trees have a LONG way to go. My non-native saucer magnolia, which always blooms absurdly early (and then the blooms often die when we get a freeze), still hasn’t even really started having the buds grow. Hoping it doesn’t get too far this week before we get some hard freezes again.

 

Saw my first forsythia blooms in Columbia the other day.

My silk press reverted to an afro over the course of 2 hours outdoors. Lol. No sun. I was happy to get the Meyer lemon bush more time outside today though. 

Hair is an actual weather instrument. (Hairometer?)

High of 71, mostly cloudy. Glorious sunset in progress.

Cloudy and 55 currently
