Stradivarious

i used to live in Winnipeg, Manitoba… while it will be cold here, Winnipeg, and points northwest into Alaska are in a whole two league levels away from us..if we get to -40 degrees with 50 mph gusts whistling between 20 story buildings…then you will understand.

That night I was playing in a band up in Baltimore, gig was over at 2 am ( yes, people actually came out to see us play) and I drove home to Arnold MD in the snow. Baltimore beltway was covered in 6 to 12 inches of snow. Yes, much lightning.. but I had never truly never experienced white out conditions before or after. Most of the time I could see the ground right in front of my ford van.. like 10 or 15 feet away.. but there were moments where it was like someone poured white paint on my windshield..I could not even see any of my hood just outside the windshield, it was blinding white, and it only flashed blind for a few seconds at a time..but I had to stop full on the road and wait. The switch to seeing 15 feet away to nothing was instantaneous, it was like the whiteout happened when the concentration of snow in the air reached a critical mass, there was nothing gradual about the switch. More than lightning, the instant switching to seeing 15 feet away to the windshield being a lit up like a white wall… and then back to being able to see the ground…. that was the real shocker.

many a time in the 1980’s i have seen the Temperature go down to -20 to -30 in rural Pennsylvania in Luzerne county. Makes a trip to the outhouse something to remember..

And top it off he is fellow string player (viola)

What is this?

It faded, but is circular now visible for at least 5 minutes

Yes he did, and it certainly resonated with me here in Salisbury…

Been around lurking since then too…

Who is playing the Solo? I’m kind of into symphony too… member Florida Symphony Orchestra, Winnipeg symphony, Alabama Symphony (1st violin, and Associated Concertmaster) have played in Richmond (Va) symphony, Virginia Symphony, Tuscaloosa Symphony (assistant concertmaster) Roanoke Symphony, West Virginia Symphony, Wheeling symphony, Washington Bach Consort, National symphony, National Art Gallery Orchestra… and more..

Ravens vs Commanders Super Bowl? Maybe…

I got into my car after work, flurries had been forecast all day for that nite in Annapolis. Turned on the radio , and heard paper ripping. DJ says, hear that paper ripping? That’s the forecast we have been giving all day for flurries. We are going to get over a foot of snow, and it’s going to start in about… 1 hour.

Graupel currently falling in Salisbury MD

Ya think?
