I think the benefit of the current system is it gives local emergency services a chance to prepare for a likely event before its on the ground confirmed. The only way you would ever get the majority if the general population to pay attention to a tornado warning here is with old school air raid sirens, which might actually not be a bad idea for a spotted tornado

Intermittent but very loud pingers here in Fed hill. Picking up what looks like penny to nickel sized hail. Cool! Update: I ate one for the novelty value before realizing I picked it up off a baltimore sidewalk

Heavily depends on the fit. If you have any kind of beard or even stubble the efficiency goes way, way down for pm 2.5. Unfortunately learned that half way through a diy brick repointing project

Just stepped outside to take the trash out before bed and it smells like straight up roasting plastic. I've never experienced something like this. Throat started scratching up in a few minutes. Wtf

Torrential downpour right now at lakeshore

The inner harbor site is in a microscopic 2m wide triangle surrounded by cement pavers and 30 ft from the water. It is somewhat representative of street level conditions downtown but really, official measurements should be taken at riverside park if you want accuracy

The only downside at all to this winter was that it had the potential to be even greater. Some very minor tweaks and we could have had 2 feet on Feb 2nd, and another foot for the mid month storm. Would have been 60+ days of snowcover. This was a PHD level winter but it had the potential to be a nobel prize, once in a lifetime winter

To all the boxelder beetles that decided to come out and play when it hit 80 - RIP BOZOS GUESS YOU DIDNT PLAN ON THIRD WINTER

The dewpoints have been absolutely terrible today. Can't remember a muggy day like this with snowpiles still on the ground

I follow this stuff pretty closely. It's going to be bad for some time. Most of the oil wells in the middle east are shutting down because there's no place to put the oil. When wells are shut down it's difficult and expensive to start them up again. So basically 1/4 of the worlds oil supply is going to be missing for months. Gas will be getting very, very expensive.

I think my mistake was keeping the thermostat set on 68 for the couple of weeks in February before we moved in. It's an 1880's rowhome in Baltimore so insulation is probably not the best. Gotta load up on sweaters for next winter b/c no way am I ever setting it higher than 62 again lmao

I just got my first heating bill as a home-owner and now I don't know if I like snow anymore

With the exception of some imaginary snow that never came to be, this whole stretch starting last August has been glorious. Feels like it hasn't been hot in years and years now. Hope we can keep it up till May, do three months in the pen, then do it all again

Just wait until July. In April/May People notice it's warm out for the first time in awhile and think "lets go outside", then a good 50% of them get bored and go back to watching tv after about a few weeks. I see it every year.
