Before you go, make one last call for the mid-Atlantic Valentine's weekend blizzard.

Shelter in place here at school for Tornado Warning. All the portable teachers had to bring kids inside. Hope that I don't lose my trailer.

With an appointment, I was in and out in 20 minutes, but with an awful picture. Then I looked in the mirror and was like, "Yeah, that's pretty accurate."

Gonna get windy. Dense fog here this morning.

That’s terrible, but glad that it isn’t a head or chest injury. As others said, positive thoughts your way. Let me know if you need me to step in and moderate these fools.

I know that you’re probably joking, but just in case, I just read an article a few days ago about how Jackson Hole is severely overcrowded as a result of the Ikon pass. No parking and super long lines for the trams. It would still be cool to go just for the record snow.

Watching kids play hockey is awesome. By the way, kind of a leap into a different direction but the talk of kids in sports reminded me of something. After watching that NFL 100 commercial, I looked up the kid and his name is Bunchie Young. I found a few videos with him and he’s pretty incredible. Even cooler was this site I found, [No Days Off], that highlights young athletes. I’m sure those of you with kids aren’t surprised by the abilities of our youth, but there are some kids that are incredibly gifted. It’s worth checking out. eta: why was that so difficult?

I’ll take a touch warmer for summer, and not quite as glacial in the winter, and I’ll add that this mythical place must have four seasons that align with the met seasons, except for winter which can begin on the day before Thanksgiving.

Two consecutive drives they did that

The twitter world is a fun read.

I'm reaching, but hoping for enough improvements over the next few days. The panels after 132 say probably not, but definitely better, as you and others said.

Weaker low into the GL @showmethesnow Jump to the coast??? eta:

Last week’s low trended southeast.

I’ve got some leylands to take down before spring, and with the extra space, some sod to lay. It’ll be here before we know it. Also, check the thread title.

The storm after that looks good too. Anyone have the 408 gfs panel?

Also, that dude that used to live here, @snownut I think, and lives out there now, posted a few days ago that he was having a cruddy year.

I measure 6.3” from that event. I remember cross country skiing at the golf course here.

Not surprising, but the gfs is looking much different for the middle of next week. Pesky GL low is weaker and something trying to brew along front near the Gulf.

BWI: 24.3” DCA: 15.1” IAD: 27.5” RIC: 10.3” Tiebreaker SBY 10.7”

That is odd. WxUnderground has the hourly report (bottom of the page linked), but I doubt they have access to any max/mins in between. https://www.wunderground.com/history/daily/us/md/baltimore/KBWI

@C.A.P.E. The Black Beauty has germinated! The yard is beginning to look like an old man with hair plugs.

I’m late with the decorative gourd harvest this year, but in spite of the drought and my neglect, it was another good year.

Looks great, CAPE! Funny story here.i was going to seed yesterday with the black beauty you recommended but I felt I needed a larger bag. So on the way to the beer fest, I stopped in to the hardware store and exchanged for a larger bag and was going to seed when we got home. But we met some friends at the fest and they came over for a night cap. I ended up falling asleep to the game (in the 8th inning!), woke up on the couch at 3am, checked the radar and saw that rain was getting close. Hopefully none of my neighbors saw me seeding at 3:15am this morning.

My Stihl trimmer is nearing 20 years old and it’s been puttering and stalling for the past year or two making it a real chore of cutting the grass. I thought it was water in the gas, bad lines, or a dirty fuel filter, but changing all of those just brought on a temporary fix. Finally did a little research and thought what the heck, let’s try changing the carburetor. Holy crap, what a difference. It feels brand new. Starts fast, idles well, and the trigger is super responsive. I had forgotten how much I enjoyed working on the landscaping.. I’ve just finished cutting what’s left of the burned up yard, and now I’m going to aerate and seed. Next spring will be here before we know it (ie, January 20th or so).

I was walking barefoot through the yard today and it’s bone dry and hard as rock. I’ve been waiting over a month for a good deluge so I can aerate and overseed, but I think I’m finally going to pull the sprinkler out. Hopefully I can get it at least wet enough before early next week so that any rain with the frontal passage will soak in so I can aerate and seed midweek.
