mappy

sorry to hear, feel better and hope symptoms stay mild!

got clipped by a storm around 730 that dropped out of PA but missed me east. Nothing else otherwise.

hi friend! hope you are well too -- doing our best here!

keep talking dirty

i believe i read the same. they didn't change it for any set of people though, they did it because they were losing money. thats all that matters... the money. sigh.

thanks for your insight and views, PSU. to be fair, teaching kindergarteners isn't hard. while virtual learning sucks as a whole, we had a rather simple time teaching first grade stuff. on to second now for the fall. Phineas has a point that for some, its an easy decision. My family is incredibly lucky, and I have said it many times, as we can both work from home without issue. haven't missed paychecks, bills are getting paid. however, i have the empathy to feel for others, so while virtual learning won't be horrible for us, it will be for many others and both county and state governments need to step in and help with the load. i know a lot has been done since spring to now, but there will still be problems. and there is no easy decision, unless you go the homeschooling altogether route, as many are. One of my nearest and dearest friends will be without a job because school is going virtual. she works with special needs kids and without in-class time, she cannot do anything to help them virtually and the county will no longer pay her. the county has their own special-needs plan in place that eliminates her position all together. it sucks all around, for many. But yes, to each their own. Everyone's level of risk is different, they know what's best for their family and will plan for that.

yassss more rain please!

Oh yeah, I get it. Just think its stupid. I just keep telling myself this isn't forever. And while it sucks now, this too shall pass.

IMO thats stupid. who gives a shit what the media may say, do what is best for the county based on the numbers. not on the majority of other counties. so dumb.

have you sat in on any carroll county board of ed calls? they haven't made a decision yet, have they? each county can do what they want, per yesterdays Hogan presser. So, its possible you could still get a hybrid version to start the year.

1.4” so far today. Still raining

Very! Now I can say 1.1” total today. Absolute downpour for 20 min now

Nope. I’m dumb. 1.1” includes yesterday. 0.65” for today so far

1.1” so far, house rocking thunder, more to come. Power is back, for now! congrats southerners! Looks awesome going into DC

ha, oh yes. you too. i guess

Crazy thunder with this storm -- pouring rain. but dammit i need power

man DC is going to get smacked. Congrats Ian

I can hear it! Some really nice bolts nearby too.

the stuff along the PA line just keeps expanding south, nice looking stuff coming out of Manchester my way. And then the stuff that follows. yay no sprinkler tonight

some off/on heavy rain here as the cell skirts to my north. and a power outage. so thats cool.

i hate this hobby -- cell that formed to my west is going northeast will mostly miss me. just thunder and some drizzle.

thunder from the severe storms in PA. But some smaller cells have broken off from it and rain is imminent.

90/77

it looks to be that way, yes.

Agreed. I'm not so worried about my kid, I'm worried about everyone else she would come in contact with. Hope you're well.
