For some time I have been blogging on my own site now.

Chase likely today

With the outlook being better then yesterday, and a 10% hatched, it is very likely to be a chase day for me. Later (near noon) I'll be taking a second look at the models, and decide were to go. If I can head north away from the city, that will be favorable because of traffic and congestion. I hope to be up near the PA border. However, if I have to be near the city, it will likely be a small chase area for usually in these situations, I get as close as I can, and then find a high spot (parking garages are usually good). Look for another update around noon to 2pm today. Reports and photos will be posted late tonight or tomorrow.

Severe Weather looking promising for Wednesday

I've just done a quick review of the models and convective outlook and things look good for the possible first chase of the mid-atlantic season. Yes, it's very early for thunderstorms, as we usually are still watching out for snow at this point in the winter season. But right now I get any storms I can get snow or rain. Bottom line is I need content to post on the website.

Hurricane Charley/Celtic Ray

Well, seems like a key part of the Hurricane Charley experience will be changing. It seems that the original owner of the Celtic Ray Public House, which is prominently shown in our award winning documentary of our experience during Hurricane Charley is about to suffer a major blow (pardon the pun). Kevin Doyle, the original owner, who kept "The Ray" open during the entire storm, and were we gathered after the storm to assess our condition and experience, has been forced out the business he started by a greedy and profit hungry owner. The full article featured in The Sun-Herald explains everything.

I will be sad to see the likely changes that the new owner will make now that he's forced Kevin from the business. I also hope that Kevin opens a new pub nearby that we can endorse and help him regain what he lost.

Wet but not wild

It's just rainy and glummy once again. Temperatures should keep Maryland in the liquid precipitation zone. Just north in Pennsylvania, they might see some freezing rain, and a little snow.

But all eyes are already focused on this weekends events. With a lot of uncertainty with the snow/rain line, we could see no snow, or we could see upwards of 12 inches. I'm leaning toward the rainy mix, with short periods of snow. And what snow falls, will likely be hard to stick with the wet ground and roads.

Either way, I'm still at home in surgery recovery mode and won't be able to venture far to cover this one. I might be able to get out in the local area, but I won't be going more than 5 or so miles away from home.

Winter Weather Pages coming online

Well after about a day and half, I'm starting to get the Winter Weather pages updated or created.

Most are from 2003 since that was such a big year for snow. More from 2004 and 2005 will be there soon, and 2006 and 2007 should not take long since neither year saw much snow at all.

Radio Show interview plans in the works

Tentatively planned for next Tuesday at 8pm on IPR internet radio is my interview with Tony Pann and Justin Berk (WUSA ch9 Washington and WMAR ch2 Baltimore respectively).

I will also be adding a link to the WeatherTalkRadio.com website.

Today started out cloudy and then cleared up. It was still cold, but the bright sun really helped a lot.

I've also fixed the link to the Sunsets page.
