Yeah. It's all more spread out than before requiring scrolling on mobile (it wasn't like that before). But like you said, they bothered which = it's being used.

*Sidenote: Is runway 19 and 01 at Dulles really oriented from 190* to 10*? I always thought it was due north to south. :lol: Perhaps just some kind of approximation?

All runways are oriented to compass direction. So runway 18 would be 180 degrees (due south).

Oh wow. I actually never knew that... nearly 18 years near the airport and you'd think I'd know this. :arrowhead:

I love learning new things though.

 

48/46 w/ drizzle at IAD.

I'm taking my Part 107 FAA license for my work's drone program. I've learned more about runways than I ever cared to.

Sometimes i wonder whats worse, the oak pollen bombs or other trees.  I've seen pines puking pollen into clouds and know I'm snorting it like this

When I was just down in HHI, the loblolly pines were putting off more pollen that I've ever seen in my life. The lagoons were covered in a thick layer of green - looked like mid-summer algae blooms - but as soon as it rained it all got knocked into the water. Luckily we didn't suffer from that pollen at all though, or else it could have been brutal.

Have we had any snow in March? If no, when was the last time we had a March with 0 snow? I know there hasn’t been one time here since at least 2008

Three possible years (I don't know for certain. I'm just basing this off of the weather pattern that I remember at those times.) are 2010, 2012 and maybe 2020?

Obviously, it also depends on the reporting location.

Yeah I forgot about last year. With all the crazy stuff I can’t remember

Ugh, looks like a dry chem fire extinguisher exploded inside!

I would definitely shake it before I fell that.  I don't have allergies but that is sick!

When the pollen gets going up here at night on IR it looks like its snowing on the security cameras!  And when we wash it off the solar panels the gutters look like they're filled with pea soup!
