MN Transplant

This did just happen last year.

MD’s problem is the county tax. Without that, the taxes could be a wash with NH depending, of course, on income and house price. NH’s property tax rates are out of control. 2%+ in many areas. When people talk about moving for tax reasons, in most cases what they really are doing is moving for quality of life (weather) or bang for your buck (cheaper housing) reasons. The taxes just don’t make that much of a financial difference in the vast majority of cases.

Playing around with my snow history. Pretty amazing that over an 11-year period, I've settled in right near the long-term average (which is 20" for my location, as far as I can tell). That median though. Season Snowfall 09-10 Seasonal 69.0 10-11 Seasonal 12.5 11-12 Seasonal 3.1 12-13 Seasonal 12.5 13-14 Seasonal 48.3 14-15 Seasonal 22.7 15-16 Seasonal 31.0 16-17 Seasonal 6.2 17-18 Seasonal 9.5 18-19 Seasonal 20.3 19-20 Seasonal 2.2 High 69.0 Low 2.2 Average 21.6 Median 12.5

Ah, should have checked here too. Posted the same in the Banter thread. Heck of a fire.

Apartment building under construction in Alexandria went up in flames this morning.

The low clouds are really ripping today.

Records at IAD and BWI, but the river wind wins at DCA.

63.3

Records today are: DCA: 65 IAD: 66 BWI: 66

Shakira is 43 and J-Lo is 50. There might be something to this exercise thing.

12z euro puts us on the cool side of the front Wed-Fri and dumps a ton of chilly rain. A really disgusting look.

There are gnats (or similar) flying around outside my window.

1.83”. Should really help all of the plants coming up early.

It is either the Homer retreating into the bush gif, or grandpa Simpson seeing Bart at the entry of the burlesque club. Probably the latter.

21 at home. 23 at DCA.

January 20th and DCA and my location haven’t been below 20 yet. Close tonight.

I was going to come here to complain about the brine, but I see that’s been taken care of. Leading precip continues to be very light in the DC area via the 00z nest.

Snow drops were already out last week. I’m used to seeing them more mid-to-late Jan.

Nah. You have 3 SBs. That’s all that matters.
