    B- Could see why people would grade it lower, though. Aside from January, it’s mostly felt like late Fall…generally cloudy and cool. Ready for Spring to make a prolonged appearance.

    Yea I didn’t expect this type of storm for late March. Already seeing some brighter skies to the nw.

    Drenching rain here. Lightning involved. Breezy. Severe or not, this storm took its vitamins.

    I can’t even see the catoctins rn. Lightning pickup up quickly here

    This one is gonna be spicy

    That line looks tasty for dt Frederick. Let’s see if it holds.

    Got antsy and biked little Bennett after work. Trail was in pretty good shape. Saw a few others out there. Chilly…yes…but sunny.

    would have been cool to hike gambrill during this...or biking greenbrier. seems like that streamer has been parked between hagerstown and gambrill for the last hour or so.

    extremely healthy snow shower in progress here. putting down a coating.

    I thought winter was a wrap, too. Had to get my jacket back from the closet. Mother Nature tossed a serious curveball.

    today's weather is anti-ideal. had a couple of good snow/graupel showers here yesterday. as long as it's sunny i can deal with a couple days of this.

    i don't think i had the 2600, but did have the 7800. i used to rock the apple iie back in the day. that was a fun system...so many games.

    speaking of which, i miss playing arkanoid at the cap center. if you know, you know.

    sounds like playing intellivision growing up is the cut off, which means i made the cut. only by a few years, though.

    thanks, yea this contract is nuts. we have 3 teams, but probably around the same number of people total (around 30-35 if i had to guess). one of the SM's left and so they added me as SM until they figure things out. problem is we now only have 1 ba on a team that could easily have 2-3 ba's and also have to balance the new PI planning in 2 weeks. we're short-staffed with devs as well. I actually don't mind the SM role so far, though. the scrum ceremonies I can get used to, but not a fan of the fact that I also have to run multiple help desk calls along with other non-agile related tasks.

    i'd like to report that i still have my final four picks and 6/8 elite eight's. the rest has been a shitshow, but holding onto my late picks...for now.

    it's been kind of annoyingly breezy during the nicer days we've had. i'm still trying to figure out if it's a frederick, east side of the catoctin's thing, or it's just been that way (some of those la nina years like 2013-15 had that consistent breeze situation going on). in other news, i've had to step in as a scrum master (which I think you said you do) and ran my first sprint planning yesterday. that was tricky given that i had about a week and a half to transition/learn what i'm doing to run it properly. Also, i can honestly say i don't need snow at this point. if it happens, cool, but those 60 degree days were pretty amazing.

    Pretty aggressive downpour moved through here. No lightning, though. Still 1 or 2 more rounds to go it looks like. On the plus side, free car wash.

    Strong start to “met” spring with mild weather today and madness beginning. Baseball incoming as well. Not too happy about my Oakland As trading away again but looks like they’ve got some prospects in return.
  20. 87storms
    I’m all in.

    i'm craving a thunderstorm.

    I took intro to astrophysics which was one of the hardest classes I’ve ever taken. Straight up weed out class lol. I ended up dropping it because I’m pretty sure I should have taken the physics sequence first (which was another grinder of courses). That stuff is interesting, though. My first job was on a cassini contract at Goddard. A lot of that team had phd’s…just a little bit above my pay grade lol. If anyone here hasn’t viewed Saturn through a telescope, I advise it. It literally looks fake, but the fact that it’s not makes it awesome.

    I didn’t take abstract algebra, but always thought it could be cool. I did take number theory in undergrad which had its wtf am I doing moments. And yea, once you get into the upper level classes it was a lot of proofs esp advanced calc. The Real analysis class I took helped prep for that.
  24. 87storms
    I was kind of the opposite. Got my bs in math from umd which didn’t offer an undergrad in met. I actually had thought about transferring (including Lyndon state), but figured I could always consider grad down the line (and ended up in IT lol). As much I consider met as a career, I think it’s probably best as a hobby for me.

    Nino or nina, we’re due for a blizzard.
