North Balti Zen

The rain after 4 am caught me offguard. Got enough to leave ponding on roads in northern Balt County. 

Two days of that kind of wind is less than ideal. the baseball verison of Orioles didn't like it either. 

Wind remains stupid.

Looks like the forecast for rain today is turning into a moderate sized bust...and I'm ok with that.

I think I've been seeing for a few days things pushed back to tomorrow - been looking decent today for several days now...

After being cool (cold) and wet since mid-March, feels really nice out today with temps in the 70s.

OMG that was insane! So glad we took the risk and came to Ohio.

As someone who grew up in Ohio, you just don't hear that a lot...

I can see the back edge of the eclipse already

It's brutal. ARE THOSE WISPS MOVING IN TOO QUICKLY DEAR LORD THE HRRRRRRRR IS REALLY FAST WITH THE CIRRUS

People tracking cloud cover is giving me worse weather anxiety than tracking snow. 

40s, howling wind, and drizzle. This really does suck. Been weeks of this. Enough. 

Didn’t feel it in my bldg in downtown Baltimore but my oldest felt in at their workplace in Annapolis.

Rained again this AM briefly and apparently supposed to rain again later? We've had rain each day in my part of the area since last Saturday. Seven days in a row with rain. And cold. Ready for warmer weather. 

Need to extend my mental arc of heavy rain from Charlestown over then...nice total trix.

Yeah MBY has to be pushing 3” for the week 

I am guessing a 3-day rainfall estimate when this is finally over will show an arc of heaviest rain from you up toward Frederick and across the northern tier to include Balt City north.

Good thing there are no leaves on the trees... The wind is screaming here in 21057

Whelp. that probably explains the text I just got from bge about power being out for my hood (21111)...

I'm going for a 10 mile hike in Crownsville. We'll see what happens with the storms. I'll be out there in it. I'm sitting in my truck waiting for this batch of rain to pass. I don't want to get soaked to early. Radar looks pretty ominous to the sw, imo. My area has had 1.5-2" so far. It looks like another couple rounds building.

Generally when EJ says "meh it looks over" that's usually when the hammer drops, so be careful...

Over 3" for the event and over 8" since March 1.

I bet we have at least another inch to go, maybe more, looking at the next six hours of radar...

About an inch over the three days.  Pretty boring.

Hoo boy is it different to your north - up in Northern Baltimore county been three days of monsoon. Hasn't rained for 24 hours each day but for the times it has been raining absolute deluges, and this morning may be the heaviest yet from Baltimore north.

Would place my money on Baltimore and NE having the better shot at flooding. They're quite saturated.

Absolute deluge up here pre-dawn and into the 8:00 hour.

Holy moly, my area is NOT missing this round - absolute deluge at the moment and has been for hours in northern Balt County. Took the dogs up to the NCR trail which, not surprisingly, we had to ourselves, and standing water everywhere. Labrador heaven.

“DC's winter climate is becoming SO WEAK.
Consider: 
* 7 of last 8 winters have seen below normal snowfall
* 8 of last 9 winters have seen above normal temps
* Snowfall totaled over last 5-, 10-, 20- and 30-year periods is least on record.”

Not to be too macabre, but, is everyone literally ok? 1:25 am - odds are that our crew was all in bed but disquieting on every level. 

I am seeing 68 for Baltimore for a high temp on Saturday. Will snow stick at 68 degrees?

Fairly underwhelming 

Yeah, it’s kinda booking / rain over by around midday for much of the forum?

Leaving work and it smells weirdly like snow. But this is the mid Atlantic.

Yeah - still only 44 in Monkton and feels just raw.
