From the 1/29/22 blizzard in Southern Delaware, about 12  miles from Rehoboth Beach.

I really thought that I would never see a snowstorm again when I moved to Southern Delaware.  We'll see how this plays out.  

Temp 33

Humidity 64

Pressure 30.15

Heavy sleet in Herndon.

26°.  Not too many cars on the roads, via VDOT cameras.  Looks like some ice buildup between lanes.

We can use both areas of the site to gain more knowledge. The advantage to having our own thread is the fact that we're more familiar with each other and may feel more comfortable asking questions.

I have so many questions, I don't know where to start!

Thanks for the thread, Bob. There's A LOT I need to learn.

Trixie-great links! Can't say I understand it all, but it's a starting point.

Ellinwood posted this on his site a couple of weeks ago. It was helpful:

*green line is dewpoint. It was cut off on my screen cap of the legend.

Given where I am supposed to be tomorrow I would take a free day in a heartbeat

Post traumatic stress syndrome from the quake today?

drop ceiling at work so not too surprising. Maybe I will get tomorrow off if the my building is fooked

Unlikely, but nice try.

A nuclear power plant located in Louisa County, the epicenter of the earthquake in Virginia, has shut down.

The North Anna Power Station, operated by Dominion Power, has two reactors. The plant declared an "unusual event" in the wake of the 5.9 magnitude quake, which is the lowest stage on the plant's emergency scale.

As a result, the plant has been shut down.

My best friend was at the National Cathedral and apparently, there's some damage. When she went out to her car, a water pipe had burst and was spraying water all over. She's shaken up.

WHERE IS OEM when we need him?

Made my day!

I guess you're supposed to head outside during an earthquake...
