  1. We're up to 2 inches here, with occasional thunder. I can't remember the last time it rained this hard for so long.
  2. The core of the radar-indicated winds passed over us, but I don't think we gusted much above 30-40 mph here. Torrential rain (10+ in/hr) and lots of lightning were the big story here.
  3. Thanks for stopping in to share your thoughts. The terrain is manageable. The traffic is the big challenge around here.
  4. I like GMBM. Much more decisive than McPhee. Said the Caps need an experienced coach. Hopefully they're looking at Laviolette or Gallant.
  5. I have a hard time finding Thai chilies, and am not a huge fan of big heat, so I usually just use a couple jalapenos or serranos. The end result is very little heat. You could easily omit the chilies all together if you prefer.
  6. If y'all like curry, take a look at this recipe: https://www.tablespoon.com/recipes/thai-green-curry-with-chicken-and-vegetables/00d62b36-5189-479d-807e-39ba8ec90508 One of my favorites to make in the summer when I can find the fresh veggies at the farmers' market.
  7. Cool shots! Looks like a shelf cloud with some scud clouds underneath. This is definitely the right place to share those types of pics.
  8. Great storm. Hail core just missed me to the south, but I got torrential rain (maxing out at 9.5 in/hr) and some good wind gusts likely around 40 mph.
  9. If that's too pricey, you can always go with the budget option:
  10. Happy Birthday, Waterboy!
  11. Not quite traditional spanakopita, but here's a good variation that's a hit in our house: https://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2015/11/one-pot-chicken-spanakopita-skillet-pie-recipe.html
  12. Just ban the posters who keep breaking the rules.
  13. AHL is a different beast since it is basically all gate driven. I can't imagine they'll continue their season. Through its TV rights, the NHL will still bring in a ton of revenue if it completes the season, so it will do everything reasonably possible to make it happen.
  14. Torrential rain, some wind and some thunder and lightning. Nice storm to kick off the season. Glad the more severe winds didn't materialize. I've spent the last month or so stocking the freezer, and am glad not to lose power.
  15. Thanks. I guess I need to check my weather radio to see why it didn't go off.
  16. More from Bethesda below. I may have missed it, but I don't think there was a warning out for this portion of the line. I'm a few miles away, and it doesn't seem like we had any significant wind here. My weather station (which is highly sheltered from wind) only had a reading of 10 mph. It tends to run 40-50% of actual winds, so it suggests we didn't see anything above the low 20s.

  18. Up to 10 inches here. It just doesn't want to stop.
