The Nats are looking like a lost cause this season...even with the expanded playoffs, I can't see them getting in (although we know the story from last year). Os getting in would be nice.

Riding boots, floppy hats, PSL, pumpkins for days, flannel season.... …...meanwhile it's still 80 on Oct 1.

Imagine how much Caps games I could have gone to with that! Although I suppose these days, that doesn't matter

Yep, I had to spend $7K to Comcast for them to run the line up the hill to our house here in Deep Creek a few years ago to get their service. Otherwise, I would have had to pay for satellite internet which is capped at 10GB/month (we'd go through that in a day hosting friends). It was "only" $7K since the houses down the street at the bottom of the hill had service. If not for that, I can't even imagine the cost. It's unacceptable that rural communities are left behind with what should be accessible to all residents at a much cheaper price (for install/etc).

0.09" so far here - underperformer.

I saw that Garrett County received a state (or federal?) grant for hotspots to provide to students without adequate wifi. The issue also becomes for that student the lack of LTE coverage in some areas of the county. On a related note, how a county with something like 60 or so total cases can't return to in person learning is beyond my understanding.

Rain so far has been focused on the southern part of the county but light rain just started. HRRR advertising about 0.5" after all is said and done. NAM was showing 2"+ yesterday.

59/54. Crickets/katydids singing away.

Those maps will be bone dry in DJF I’m sure.

it’s 69/63 here (with gusty NW winds) and I’m on my 2nd strawberry jalapeño margarita...I’ll join you virtually for that buzzed walk.

Drove back out to Deep Creek this morning. Steady rain with multiple torrential downpours basically from DC to about Frederick. Sun was out in Cumberland and here too - very breezy though. A nice Saturday.

Agreed. Basically a disco strobe light outside. Feels tropical too

Nearest PWS around here all have 1-1.3” and it’s pouring again.

Wow, this storm is crazy. The frequency of the CG lightning is unreal.

Storm over Tysons just got warned for Fairfax/Alex/Arl/FC. Looks super dark to the west.

Agree. I don’t live in MD nor do I have kids but I’m glad he called out the districts. I really feel for parents and the children especially in homes where parents can’t work from home.

Nice to see more and more normalcy returning.

Multiple warnings in western MD (too bad I'm home in Arlington....) and WV.

I do hope western MD gets remnants from the tropical systems given the drier conditions there of late. Drought monitor has western Garrett County in the Abnormally Dry category with Moderate Drought conditions just over the border in PA & WV. Garrett/Allegany/Washington counties could use the rain.

So happy to see Reirden let go by the Caps. He was never the right coach for us.

You now live in NC and you’re an Islanders fan? Time to find your sub forum.

I hope they get swept so they fire Reirden 2 mins after game 4 ends. What a disaster he is. the fact they couldn’t clear the puck which caused the 4th goal is the perfect symbol of their recent play. No tenacity.

Great to see Ovi with a goal!

Time for the Caps to turn their play around. Play like the 3rd period and we have 0 chance.

Lots of low rumbles of thunder and rain/occasional downpours. Feels like Kauai.
