Ha, I never go out in the field. I am very comfortable behind the computer doing my thing LOLOL much like me being told they have GIS data to send, and it's a PDF with layers I have to georeference, then digitize. Sigh. Yay GIS!! It's the best. Right?! NAD27 should just be abolished IMO

hahaha we are talking about coordinate systems. each coordinate system has a geodetic datum, which is the reference used for positioning the earth when locations were collected. Most commonly used is NAD83, which is based on the geodetic reference system of 1980. NAD27 is a totally different ellipse. If you were to plot the same points using each datum, they would not line up exactly, there would be an offset to take into account that change in earth reference position. fun stuff!

It's incredibly annoying hahaha. I will be sent coordinates, but not the system they are in, so it's a guessing game. Always guess feet vs meters first, then narrow down to state plane or utm zones. I never ever check NAD27 systems. It's ancient. Get with the times people.
-
people who use NAD27 for state plane instead of NAD83 should be maimed. fuck those people.

sorry my friend.

It went out again for a minute. Rain almost done here, still pretty gusty though. Congrats on trivia!

Lost power for a few minutes.

Thank you! It’s been a nice treat, especially since Tuesdays is her late night where we wouldn’t be home until after 9. I’ll take an unexpected free evening!

Guess it’s good they closed the bridge almost 2hrs ago.

lolol love it. Meanwhile my 5th grader came home early, cheering to a night off from dance. She did her homework, then crafts while I finished up my work day. We made dinner together and got to sit and eat without rushing out the door. It’s been wonderful.

Yeah, that 5-9pm timeframe was our concern.

Only going to get worse. I recommended to closing the dance studio tonight so no one had to travel in it, thankfully the owner trusts my weather knowledge enough, and now i don't have to go out later.

I think its multiple things. MD has closed schools before for storms, there was one in March a few years ago. So its not totally unprecedented. But when some counties started going early dismissals yesterday, the others followed suite. Meanwhile, I am hoping we close the studio tonight because honestly I do not want to be driving in that mess in the dark later. But thats just me.

HRRR has 50mph gusts 8pm up my way. Yikes.
