We finished a backpacking trip in Dolly Sods yesterday, then settled in last night in Davis/Thomas. Stopped in to Stumptown Ales in the evening for some carry out but didn’t see JonJon. There’s a lot of nice color up this way. The first couple of photos are from the Sods. After a good nights sleep in the motel, a couple of us got up early this morning to stretch our legs and walked out to the Blackwater Falls. The first pic is this morning, and the second one from last July. Easy to see how dry it has been up this way.

Someone check my work here. We need global warming to make for a longer and more intense fire season. We need a longer and more intense fire season to produce a lot of smoke. We need a lot of smoke to offset global warming. How am I doing so far?

Man, it’s been awhile, but doesn’t a Nina favor clippers?

Ugh. What you just did to winter.

Recently, any state where @PhineasC resides.

I wasn’t mad then either, but I’m mad now that that was the last time we had a winter!

We were overconfident coming off of the winter of 09-10.

One of the best I recall for central MD. I was living in Columbia then and was a little disappointed when we got a foot and then dryslotted, but I went to bed and the backside dropped another foot overnight.

Started with intense lightning, thunder, and some gusts. Now just heavy rain and no wind at all. And no power for my back to school night.

Crazy lightning. No power

The first line deked to the north and essentially skipped here. The trailing line looks promising.

Lots of thunder and some sprinkles. Muggy out there.

I’d enjoy seeing some 2-4” clippers with cold, blustery winds behind them. It’s been awhile.

I wish I could weenie and like a post.

Nice video!

Got severed. Lots of thunder, lightning, and rain, but nothing too heavy.

Like someone flipped a switch.

Same as WxUSAF here. No rain now though.

Not much wind here. Lightning, thunder, and heavy rain. It looks like about .75" so far using my low tech "binoculars looking at the rain gauge" method.

I'm guessing that could be good because we might get the storms in before sunset?

We need an F U button.

This is some bullsh*t, Cutty.

Still quite a bit of showers and non severe thunderstorms to the southwest to pass through. Good sleeping weather.

You can’t hog all the cool weather AND the rain. And where is Mattie?

Damn. Legit.
