Scraff Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Love that place! Going there next weekend. Did you try the Rise Up Stout? And this is why we need to have an AmericanWX beer meet up. I'm serious. How cool would that be? I'm as big a weather geek as I am beer geek. Its my 2 favorite hobbies. I'm a big fan of Burley and Evo for sure just FYI.

CAPE Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 The top layer of ground has thawed into a jello like slush lol I noticed that. Very squishy and slippery on top....lots of abnormal ponding of water during the rain today due to frozen ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nw baltimore wx Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Foggy in the state capital and 37'ish. It finally cleared here a bit...I had the Evo IPA a few weeks ago and it was delicious...enjoy! Thanks! We are enjoying for sure. Fog in Annapolis is still hanging tough. But the Mason's lobster rolls have us thinking we're in Maine. Man, they're good. I love the lobster rolls, but not a fan of the football team. Go Indy!

das Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Topped out at 39.5F in Clarksburg. 0.00" of rain today (1 batch of light sprinkles that lasted ~2 minutes) so it was a nice winter day. Great day to be on the C&O Canal. Here's a couple of pics: Drilling to check the thickness. 6" at Monocacy. Nice. Skatable ice as far as the eye can see. Me and one of my daughters. A good day. Temp was 34F when we got there at 1pm and 36F when we left at 4pm. Came home just in time to see the last of the snow in the back of the yard. It's still 37.4F so I don't know if it will last the night. Ground is still frozen solid though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man that looks like fun...my family used to skate on the canal when I was a kid...I'm seriously thinking of buying some skates after seeing your pictures. It looks like you had the whole stretch to yourselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dailylurker Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 That's awesome. I was thinking the C&O Canal was on the Potomac for some reason. I'd be all over that thing. Nice shaded little waterway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T. August Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Went out and the car windows were frozen. Hearing reports of icy roads and accidents. Yeah, 31.7F and icy here. It's weird because up in the higher elevations of Harford/Baltimore Co. it's above freezing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Chill Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Super cool Das. I would skate for miles on that. Top layer looks a little soft. Was the ice grabby or good glide? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

das Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Super cool Das. I would skate for miles on that. Top layer looks a little soft. Was the ice grabby or good glide? The top got a bit soft at the end as temps continued to rise but really only after 3pm. When the ice is that thick, it self-refrigerates well unless temps get above 35F or there's a lot of direct sunlight. Yesterday would have been better since it did not get above freezing but I was dropping another daughter off at school after the break. Priorities...

Sometimes bullet proof is pristine but can easily make imperfections a tripping hazard. Soft is more forgiving. A deep freeze after a warm day can be near perfect if the previous day is warm enough. Natural skating is similar to skiing. Always changing conditions but hitting the right day can be sooo good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jnis Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 After some morning flurries, it is now bright a sunny here. I took a drive through the Patuxent River State Park in western Hoco where I saw a pair of Bald Eagles gracefully fly overhead and land in a nearby tree. It appeared to be a female and its fledge. You could here the younger eagle soliciting a mom for a meal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
