been expanding my bourbon game lately. latest recommendations are mckenna 10 and michter's small batch. those are probably in my new top 3 along with blanton's. so are we gonna get a thunderstorm soon or what?
-
very run of the mill dc summer compared to last. also finding that we get these periodic busted forecasts for storms. have barely seen any rain the last few days. not complaining too much, though, as it's helped keep the trails clean.
-
I'm in a spot with huge panoramic windows looking north and west, and this might be the most amazing storm I've ever seen. Certainly up there with the derecho. agreed, no doubt up there on a localized level. i'm pissed...i missed the first microburst because i didn't hit play lol. got some vid of the 2nd one though and of course hit play right after a legit cg strike across the way. this might actually be the best storm i've experienced since the derecho. it's amazing how these are so imby. i'm texing with my friend in ellicott who said it's calm there.
-
this storm belongs in the severe thread. healthy wind, lightning, rain...total package. hopefully others can cash in.
-
storm of the year here imo. packed with vitamins.
-
this lightning is something else.
-
got a microburst here and could hear trees falling in the distance. absolutely legitmate and possibly severe by the 270 split near cabin john with cg lighting and all.
-
pretty healthy summer storm moving through here. not a lot of wind (not our strength), but quality torrents and lightning.
-
hrrr looks healthy towards the end of the evening rush
-
not sure if this next round will classify as severe, but this cell does have some electricity with it. crashing thunder in the distance by the 270 split.
-
pretty close to the lightning core with this as well. there's been a few real shakers.
-
actually really quite impressive, and so is radar. some T&L here as well. not much wind. just absolute torrent the last 15 minutes. i'm in the core here...i would imagine 2"+ when all is said and done.
-
next level deluge ongoing rn
-
The line moving down from Frederick looks intriguing
-
2nd torrent of the day here. i wouldn't be surprised if well over an inch fell combined. definitely a super soaker.
-
yea, i think on average trails and hoops for me burns about 500-1000 calories. i don't know the exact amount, but that's my guess. what i also like about the high intensity cardio (a long hike could probably fit into that category as well) is that you get the afterburn which can boost your metabolism for a bit even after you've finished your workout.
-
i don't do the cycling, but i've been getting after the mtb trails this season (trying to shed a few lbs). it can be quite the cardio burn, similar to running a few games of full court hoops.
-
i gotta say...blanton's is still the best bourbon i've tried. one of these days i need to take a trip to buffalo trace distillery. whatever they're doing down there, they're doing right.
-
i'm more surprised by the lack of coverage than anything. not having a region wide mcs is tolerable, but thought there would be more pop up cells. now watch us get a line of storms during rush hour.
-
i just want a thunderstorm, dammit. lol

pretty incredible bust this week as far as storms are concerned. flood watches, thunderstorms in the forecast...i've had a couple of brief showers and that's been it. it's early and the cloud situation today has been strong, but radar still meh. i'm speaking imby as there have been some areas that have done well, but so far it's been a run of the mill, classic summer week.

Just some rain. No T&L here. Need summertime level conditions to return.
-
hrrr doesn't suck for rush hour storms. cape looks sketch, but shear is good. with temps in the 70s, i'd consider any storms today similar to a game 6 in golden state win type of steal.
-
turned out to be a phenomenal day. this is becoming one of the better stretches of weather to start spring/summer that i can recall, with sprinkles of storms mixed in to keep things interesting.
-
precip aside, the forecasting of clouds vs sun is still pretty inconsistent around here. forecast was for sunny, but i guess there's a little impulse moving through bringing overcast. however, it does look like it will clear out by the afternoon. i'm hoping that's the case because i have the day off lol.
