    Long live the Frederick snow hole

    I don't have nearly as much time to spend going on photography trips as I want, so I find myself shooting around the yard. I'm sure many have been the same way over the last 10 months or so due to covid. I'll update with some other photos, but here are a few that I took yesterday of the birds at the feeder in the snow. Missed my focus point on the White-Throated Sparrow (tree branch in perfect focus ) but I still like how it came out. Share away!

    Damn I forgot to get it! I always get Accumulation and Snow Day for any storms. That'll be fixed tomorrow.

    The Troegs Nugget Nector is out and it is glorious.

    My wife went back to work 4-5 days a week starting today, leaving me home for virtual learning with two kids while I try to do my own full time job. It's a whisky on the rocks kind of night.

    I can't imagine seeing that kind of accumulation in person. Must be absolutely wild

    We live in the wrong part of the country .

    Same. If the kids can get out and play in it that's all that matters to me. I don't need much on the ground, just a few inches will do

    Days like this I am SOOO grateful that I am not a forecast meteorologist in any way at all.

    I know I was away from this place for a long time, but when did the phrase “big dog” become a thing? Seems dumb .

    Sunday is my birthday, so all I'm saying is that this better happen....for me

    I must say, at 32.5 and light rain, it is quite sh*tty outside today,

    That's awful. These people are nuts. I watched a few of their videos after the Joplin tornado and I wanted to kill myself

    I was waiting for those

    Hope my pictures at home are all on straight

    That was exciting. Initially concerned about North Anna nuke plant, but I would have heard any news by now about that

    It probably should be included in that. I'm a meteologist/atmospheric scientist by degree, but my working title is Physical Scientist. As for the $69,000, that sounds about right for the combination of higher paid govt jobs and lower paid private forcasting (e.g., accuwx) jobs. I was surprised by that one as well. perhaps they are lumping computer graphics folks (who have a tough job market right now) in with the comp sci graduates>?

    can anybody figure out why Ed is still posting about petroleum engineers in this thread?
  24. catoctin wx
    Very cool graphic. I'm honostly pretty surprised that atmospheric science jobs are that highly employed. Although thinking back on it, just about everyone in my graduating class in 2006 got a job or went to grad school (and later got a job) in the field. Also surprised that nuclear engineering is ranked high amongst unemployed, there is a big market for them right now

    interesting discussion, especially for those of us who have never witnessed this kind of damage. In understand if you don't want to answer, but do you think the NWS will be putting those higher estimates into a survey report? Or do you think they will likely just be sticking with 200+ mph?
