Sparky

oh yeah I saw that.

Getting heavy rain with loud thunder.

heavy rain with occasional loud thunder.

Getting a little sunshine here.

1.33"

Snow showers 41F.

I noticed something like that but there was an occasional boom of thunder. But on one specific occasion I saw a bolt of lightning, the actual zigzag bolt not just a flash, opened the door to listen to the thunder but it never came. Also had nickel sized hail around 11:30pm - midnight. Another storm apparently hit around 4am but I slept through it, but I noticed some wind damage around the house, large branches down, lot of blossoms on my Yoshino Cherry ripped off.

Loud thunder

Hail

Just would like to hear thunder and see some lightning in the wee hours tomorrow.

Uhmm, I went to the grocery store in Westminster this morning. Not busy. I wore a mask and had a disinfectant wipe with me. I picked up some chicken thighs and few other things to make pressure cooker chicken casserole type dish. No way can I not go grocery shopping for two to four weeks like some of y'all. Yes, it's worrisome as an older gent with some health issues but still gotta eat healthy.

I have a couple of these clocks in the house. You might find them helpful since they prominently display both Day and Date in a nice looking display. Even the weather nerd is satiated with the indoor temperature displayed. I have had them over a year, very reliable, multiple dimmer settings to fit the need and automatic time changes for EST, DST. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07LD1S5YF/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Almost an inch of rain so far with lightning and thunder a little earlier.

Delaware's Parrs Ridge?

^^ Don't think China would mess with the US. The flow of goods from them to us is so great they wouldn't want to break that relationship.

The liquor store next to the Giant in Westminster was on the quiet side when I visited earlier this morning. I took a deep breath, entered, got what I wanted, walked out and exhaled.

Hopefully Parrs Ridge will latch on to a streamer.

Got a heavy snow/sneet shower that briefly whitened the ground temp has dropped off to 38.

Was I-795 finished when you moved up Carroll County way?

Thanks for the heads up I really appreciate it ........ decisions decisions decisions....ha ha. If you can explain what a school tax is and how it would effect a retiree.

Don't know how much this would help you but the governor recently said he is introducing legislation to raise the pension exclusion in MD to $50000 (currently 30000 for 65 and older) and add partial income tax relief (I believe he said 50% deduction?) on amounts above that up to $100000. So there is that. I would like to see that come to fruition I just hope the folks in Annapolis want to give the older folks in MD a break as much as they want to throw money into schools around here. As an aside, Pennsylvania is a pretty good state for retirees from what I know about it. They have no state income tax on pensions, 401k annuities and such, and social security benefits whatsoever. You still pay state income on any ordinary wages you might earn plus things like dividends and interest. Anyhow I have given some thought to moving over the border.

This will be an interesting storm to follow whatever it brings to Carroll County ..... rain, wind, ....................snow???? ........... I will be sure to add another bag of trash to the outside can to help weigh it down some

Shakira in particular. In my mind I knew she had to be older than the 20 something she appeard to be on the big screen.

The "Money Look" seems like a complicated setup from your diagrams, no wonder it is on the rarer side. That aside, many if not most of our big dumpers tend to slow down as they are climbing up the eastern seaboard. What is that attributed to? What prevents them from hauling ass into that large elongated area of low pressure stretched across the northern atlantic?
