  1. We are in Dallas with a group of old friends who arranged it all about a year ago. Looking more and more bleak and we are considering hitting the road towards northern Arkansas or beyond. Decisions, decisions...
  2. Bit of sleet or something here. ETA: I guess graupel would be the correct term.
  3. My power went out at about 7:20 not long after the thundstorms swept though. Last time I could get the Pepco website to respond it said they'll restore it by 10:00. Not sure I believe it.
  4. Have a cabin rented SE of Dallas, as do several old friends of mine. Will be my ninth total solar eclipse.
  5. Yep. Everything froze solid including the bay. During that cold snap, my brother and some friends ice skated along the Patuxent River from just below Brighton Dam to Rocky Gorge just below Route 29.
  6. Hoping the long northern-most streamer hits me just north of Colesville rather than sliding just north and east.
  7. Correct. We had something like 8 or 12 inches of snow followed by 5 inches of sleet that compacted it all down into a washboard of ice that stayed on the neighborhood streets for weeks. Was my daughter's 2nd birthday and we had relatives over for a party while the 'storm of the century" played out.
  8. Squall has arrived here in Colesville, MD.
  9. We have tickets for a 7:30pm Arena Stage show tonight. We could drive Colesville to Greenbelt, take the Green line to the Waterfront station, walk a long block to Arena Stage or drive all the way and park at the venue. I'm leaning towards driving the whole way, but concerned about potential road closures. Thoughts?
  10. Yeah, it was centered in Rockville but felt in NW DC, MoCo, PG, and Howard: https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/us6000m135/executive https://wtop.com/local/2024/01/very-scary-windows-shook-dc-maryland-residents-experience-reported-earthquake/
  11. Thought I felt an earthquake! Checked USGS a couple minutes afterward, but it wasn't posted yet, then figured it nothing. Thanks for mentioning it!
  12. Given all the cancellations there must be, it could be a great week to visit Disney World. Just sayin'
  13. Cloverly area in the northern reaches of Silver Spring has about 3", though it's hard to tell with all the wind. We aren't west.
  14. In Cloverly, MD we have several inches on everything else, but the pavement is still just wet.
  15. All snow in Cloverly, MD now. Coming down at a moderate clip.
  16. If you turn your phone sideways the locations show. But it's still nicer if people do as you ask.
  17. Joro spiders coming to the rescue. https://www.livescience.com/joro-spider-invade-east-coast
