45 and cloudy for this weekend's hike around Liberty Reservoir (8.3 miles) and 45 and cloudy when I got home and chased that walk with a walk on the NCR trail with the dogs for another 2.5 miles. Just under 11 miles total for the two jaunts today - enough of a breeze both places to make it feel more seasonal than it has felt previously this week...

I don't know if it is the metro or what. Obviously, it's probably even worse now than when I went there since the school and especially surrounding area has become far more built up than it was in the early and mid 2000's. But you would think with some of the green space there that it would help mitigate some of it. 

Our team is intrigued as well. In fact, we have a mesonet site and a micronet site going in College Park in an area with less concrete this spring. We'll see what the results are.

It would be really great if the sun would come out in Frederick for more than 45 minutes today.  I've noticed throughout the year that Central VA/MD is often times the dividing line between sun and clouds, which is obviously due to the endless supply of systems moving through the Ohio Valley/Northeast along with the GL streamers.
