WxUSAF Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Amelia Draper on WTOP: “a quick taste of winter”. Gimme a f-cking break. This sort of crap drives me nuts. On-air mets have to be better about communicating what is NORMAL to the public. Next week will almost certainly post bigger departures from normal than tomorrow, but because it’s warm, no one will notice. 55F highs in April are way closer to normal than 80F!! This is one reason the public doesn’t understand climate and climate change. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nw baltimore wx Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 Got a good hike in on Old Rag today. Pretty windy and got chilly towards the end, but a much better day than I had anticipated. They’ve opened the new parking area and made a trail spur to keep people from walking on the narrow road. Finished the hike by stopping in at Copper Fox where they had a fire going in the wood stove and plenty of warming spirits. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beautiful pic...I'm jealous, I've been jonesing to get out hiking like that again! BTW, is that snow falling on the mountain or just distant haze, in the left-center of your picture?

BTW, is that snow falling on the mountain or just distant haze, in the left-center of your picture? Thanks. It was an awesome day. I've done Old Rag many times and it never gets old or boring, though I like to get out early before the crowds. And no, I don't think that's snow. It was still earlier in the day before the cold air really arrived. There was some haze or smoke in the area that made for some great photos. 1 hour ago, MacChump said: that name rings a bell...is there a stone arch/tunnel-thing along the trail somewhere? i think i may have camped and hiked this mountain when i was a kid I'm just guessing but I'll bet it's the the same hike you've done because it's so popular. There are a few sections that you have to wriggle your way through including this one. I'm not sure about this, but I think that rock that's pictured fell (or got pushed) and got wedged during my lifetime. I need to go back and look at my old prints from when I was a teenager! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
