Down to 28 this morning W of BWI. I have no memory of a spring freeze around here after Apr 21.

Whoa our Xfinity service down in southern Calvert has been down since 8:30 last night.  Says “network damage” which doesn’t sound good!

Got down to 34° with some frost and now up to 47°.  Waiting for 50° to put the plants back out

Yeah it did not say why just unknown outage. Funny thing is they are usually pretty good about sending a text about any outage. We never got one until after service was restored. Still says service is being looked at but have been up and running since 8:30. 

Need to figure out the EV charger though. While it is powered it says it is offline with the WiFi. Think it may just be a unplug and replug issue, but could be that the connection was lost and has to be re-established. 

Up to 54 here now. HVAC install is almost done. House is holding at 68, cooler than what it is when the heating is on but just have a jacket on.

Man what a chiller and I think several low temp records got set with IAD at 27 and BWI 30.  I thought I would make it to 31 but hit 29 and Frederick bottomed at 25 and stayed at or below 28 for 4.5 hours

yeah the freeze definitely verified outside of the immediate urban areas.

LWX's daily reports showed a T of snow at DCA and IAD, tying records.

Looks like the warm water helped keep DCA (and a few other spots "on" the water) well short of freezing.

A few other locations may also have escaped.

But IAD hit 27, BWI 30

That was a record low for IAD

Yikes I just realized the Japanese Maple the previous owners planted just got severely freeze damaged. All the leaves are curled up and black now. It was too big to cover but hopefully it can come back…

Looks like a lot of clearing all the way to the Great Lakes, which is pretty unusual.  I'm inspired by the potential for sunshine this afternoon.

Nice bonus showers this am about .10.  Not drought busters but lawn is dark green and thick right now after a lot of work in the late fall/ early spring.

Radar shows rain, but doesn't look like any is reaching the ground at GMU.

I don't really see any drought conditions in Frederick right now...certainly nothing like 2 summers ago when we became the Great Basin.  Now we're more like Lincoln, NE.
