  1. probably already on summer vacation with only 4-days left of school lol
  2. its the most exciting thing we've had happen for a few weeks lol
  3. BCPS just cancelled some activities for today. No outside field trips, or recess. Will make a call later about after school stuff.
  4. Ooof, that spike overnight. can only imagine how much worse it was at 130am.
  5. Worst morning by far. Can usually see the hills on my drive south but not today. Same at the office, looking east from Hunt Valley.
  6. Kid asked if it was foggy. lol pretty gross for sure
  7. She loved that I was there! And yes the talking about maps was fun. I did touch upon GIS a little, very broad overview of using spatial information to make pretty pictures hahaha. Mostly I focused on maps as a whole, how you can map anything and then what courses and things I learned to get me to my big girl job. I thought it went really well! I am soaking up every minute she lets me be around because I know it will end eventually.
  8. Did Career Day at my kid’s school today, got to talk nerdy about maps. 4th graders are some sassy kids hahaha. Had them help me “finish” a map by guessing what elements were missing (title, legend, scale bar, etc.) and after they were done I thanked them for helping me finish my map and one of them says “it was already done though because you had to add those elements we couldn’t see” lololol I was also called pretty which made my day
  9. The EarthCam view out of NYC around 2pm is wild. Just a burnt pumpkin orange
  10. down to 160 AQI up here from earlier 195 this morning.
  11. YUP Agreed. The male is only 20 years old, and he's got 27 charges against him this morning. Family said he's a good kid, never been in trouble with the law before, yadda yadda yadda. But how do you defend him when he was driving like that? It's mind boggling. I would be the first to send my kid to jail if she ever pulled that kind of reckless shit. Obviously the female was in the wrong as well, also speeding and high on something, but his actions of speed racing on the beltway, flying up in that lane when she tried to change lanes, is what lead to the horrific accident to begin with. You can't absolve him of any wrongdoing when he was clearly doing something wrong.
  12. The driver was impaired from a drug, not alcohol. An article I read said the male driver, who was arrested, had a dash camera. He reached speeds of 122mph prior to the crash and was going 111mph when the female driver crossed into his lane and hit him before she lost control into the construction zone. Both are being charged for the same things, with the female driver having the additional impaired driving charge. The male's family made quite a ruckus in court, claiming he did nothing wrong and shouldn't be charged with manslaughter, etc.
  13. Definitely a smell of a gross campfire out there
  14. looks like the worst of it would come in tonight
  15. Friend in the area shared this.
  16. Much worse this morning. Was in the 120s last night before I went to bed.
  17. Visibility is reduced at my house too, don't think it's fog. HRRR had a denser smoke plume in our area overnight last night into this morning.
  18. It did rain briefly earlier but not much, weather station didn’t register any measurable precip. Whomp whomp
  19. Holy shit yall, it may rain IMBY
  20. I did get some filtered sun earlier, but CU overhead now so its cloudy with smoky haze in between the clouds hahaha.
  21. she was also impaired while driving and will get that extra charge
  22. WBAL reported the same during their noon news show. Other driver turned himself in.
  23. A follow up from that deadly construction zone crash on 695. Both drivers are being indicted on felony negligent manslaughter, six counts of death of a vulnerable person, and numerous traffic violations, aggressive driving, speeding and driving while impaired.
  24. super hazy. like it should be full sun right now and its 'cloudy' instead
