  1. you could always tell who was using 27 vs 83 cause there was an immediate 30 ft shift at the minimum. Good times!!
  2. Thats because MD is so tiny it doesn't need 2 like VA. Get a bigger state to be like the big boy states.
  3. At least most of the stuff you work with HAD coordinates. Old plats and deeds I worked on only gave descriptions like: From the stump by old man Miller's barn go northerly 100 rods to the rock. then go northeasterly 50 chains to the cedar post next to Ichabod Crane's headstone, thence southerly 85 cubits to the middle of the crick in Johnston's potato field, then westerly 400 paces to the point of beginning. If I even had NAD27 I cried tears of happiness.
  4. If it was the Commanders defense he’s have 4’ of water
  5. A lot of entities still use 29. Just as some use NAD27 for state plane and not 83. But those will be obsolete soon too. Nerds and their GPS keep refining the earth geoid.
  6. How dare you hate on NAVD29!!!!! I set so many benchmarks off monumentation that was NAD29!!!
  7. Yeah, winds are getting nuts here now.
  8. Sorry but my fave place down that way is Bumpass Temp 55.5 and climbing
  9. That is a hell of a blob of rain headed this way
  10. Rain is more sideway and smacking the windows. Trees and background sounds are louder. Temps still going up. Was at 43 at 11am, now 50 at 2pm
  11. The county built a levee from telegraph to Rt 1 to protect that neighborhood. After some of those awful rains and floods they took a park property that was once a Fx Water maint site(and old well site for an old water company) and build up a berm.
  12. Mom always lied to us. She said the tooth fairy was real. And Santa Claus. The only thing I can trust her with now is to make those goddamn delicious yams for thanksgiving
  13. My kid just texted that Fx Co schools canceling evening activities
  14. My take as a parent: There are a TON of late bus, after school activities, etc. Yes, they could have just canceled those things instead of early release but maybe its easier for them to get things prepped for any bad weather when the schools are empty.
