Man...What a first week of work I just had. Walked into training during a historic Pacific tropical cyclone impacting the west. What an eye opener that was for a National Center.

Considering I was leaving 42 of the last 45 days over 100° and it was forecasted to hit 105-110° after I left, I would still feel good about it

We’ll be living in Frederick!

We are home. Maryland never felt so good!!

Going to try my best. I'll scoop up some Gulf on the way here. Hopefully I can bring the rain!

Favorite Storm to Track: Jan 2016 Favorite Storm(s) to Watch Unfold: Feb 11, 2010 & Feb 2006 Favorite Winter: 2009-10 w/ 2013-14 not far behind (Insane wall-to-wall winter) Honorable mentions: Jan 96 (First snow memory), Jan 00, PDII, Vikings/Ravens snow game in Dec, Feb 2014 Ice Storm at Millersville, Snowmagedon, 2011 Commutagedon but I had pneumonia so I couldn't thoroughly enjoy it I will not include my chase to Mass for the Feb 2013 blizzard since it wasn't in the Mid-Atlantic, but that was an absolute all-timer for me. Never seen anything like that before.

This is the storm that solidified the fact I wanted to be a meteorologist. My dad woke me up at 1AM or so because it was thundersnow out. 20" in a short period of time later....Truly magical. Heaviest rates I've ever seen so far from a single storm. Hit over 4.5"/hr at one point. Just NW of I-95 where I lived over to Randallstown got absolutely smoked. Snow melted quick though as the air was moderated behind it. I remember seeing drips occurring at 10am while shoveling and having to remove my layers I was so hot lol. It was truly a one of a kind storm. I believe that gave Columbia, NY it's all-time snowfall record in 24 hrs too.

Last week at Midland for me. Orioles in first place and the future looks incredibly bright. Started a healthy lifestyle journey and already paying off. We hit the road a week from today. Life is trending in the right direction

That reminds me, we have to meet up at some point. You know, for science and stuff

Social media is really important for messaging these days. Younger generations get a lot of pertinent information from social media outlets and it has helped civic engagement. Then there's mindless TikTok videos which are unfortunately mixed with good tiktok. Therein lies the conundrum. Then there's Reddit.....maybe we should get rid of SM

This is probably right Hell, even I'm looking to leave I am still flabbergasted at the fact. All of them are very friendly and I even had a chat with Cantore after he followed me. Super nice. We met up in Saratoga Springs for the 25th annual Northeast Storms conference in 2015. He was jealous of how many times I'd had heard thundersnow lol Being followed by CWG was really cool. I would love to meet @usedtobe at some point. Just have to watch out for that @Ian guy

A few days ago I was followed by CWG on Twitter. I followed them for a LONG time. This morning I got followed by Jim Cantore and Stephanie Abrams. What on earth is happening?

I am floored we got Bradfield Jr. This dude could be a major catalyst for the top of the order some day. Lightning fast, awesome defense, and a great approach at the plate. He's one of those 50+ SB in a season type talents. Those don't grow on trees at this caliber.

Not related to the area, but did a synopsis on Twitter about the major flooding across NY and New England. Give it a read and Like/RT to help me out. I hope to do more of these while I’m at WPC. I love doing this

Happy Birthday Don!

Hey y’all. I’m on Threads now. Moving from Twitter most likely. My username is the same here: MillVilleWx Give me a follow and I’ll follow back

Definitely a dust devil given the body of the circulation. Desert climates are notorious for these because the surface of the dusty, sandy soils can produce extreme heat a given point. Farm lands can also exhibit these characteristics when they are drier and given the clear skies overhead, this is likely a thermodynamic response to diurnal heating and not from a convergence point from two boundaries. Good capture!

Not a spider expert, but it certainly looks like the new owner of your home

T-minus 30 days and my wife and I will embark on the journey back to Maryland!

Oh man. I am super late to the party. Happy Belated Birthday @mappy!!! Glass of wine on me when we officially meet up when I move back home

Thanks Jeb! It's going to be a surreal feeling once we settle back home. I love gambling, but I'm into sports betting. I'll take advantage of some of the casinos for sure, but I'm just happy to be able to do sports betting on mobile

That accident on I-70 caused a mess trying to get out of there around 1130 or so on Friday. We got to Pittsburgh about a full hour behind was I was aiming for. Still made our dinner reservation at Hyde Park and thank goodness because that meal was unbelievable. Side note: Definitely give Hyde Park a try if in Pittsburgh. Incredible food and hospitality! Outside the hell that was traffic, the concert and everything else was amazing. My wife had a great time and was all I wanted out of the trip up there. Couldn’t ask for more!

Thanks so much for the kind words. I try really hard to utilize everything I've ever learned about winter weather forecasting (Eric Horst is a HUGE part of that) to give the best forecast possible, including more mesoscale and microscale climate focus so people can be prepared. Definitely never going to be perfect, but I try hard to see if I can predict mother nature. Have I ever told you how much of a B**** that is? lol I've been humbled plenty, but I can't wait to strap in and be along for the ride again! Like old times Wife and I are very likely going with Frederick, MD since my office is in College Park. It'll be a bit of a commute, but I don't mind commutes at all. I did the same distance and time to my first job ever outside college. I'll be making WAY more now than I did then. I think I'll be okay haha

Hey y'all! Just stopping by to give you guys an update on my wife and I moving back east. Looks like we'll be back in the Mid-Atlantic the first days of August with my start date at WPC on 8/4. Super excited and can't wait to be back home. Hopefully I can meet many of you in here over the next several years. I'll try my best not to be a stranger

Wow! This is amazing to hear. My wife and I love to partake in everything you just mentioned. I never used to be that way because I grew up in a household that didn't really see that stuff as entertaining. Once I branched out, ie. left home, I found them to be so much fun. I have visited Baker Park multiple times for walking and for the 4th of July. I can't wait to do all of that again. Compared to where I am now, I'm not going to know what to do with myself lol. Heck, there's still everything in MoCo, HoCo, DC, and the rest of the state. To say we are both excited is an understatement. I will reach out via PM to give you my phone number. That way it'll be easier to communicate. Thanks so much @Mrs.J And to everyone else in here, if you ever want to meet up for drinks or food, feel free to reach out. I'm very extroverted and love conversing. This next chapter is going to be a ton of fun for life and career!
