New Blog

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

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.

First snow for DC region 2007/08 season

While at the hospital in Baltimore recovering from Kidney surgery, The DC and Baltimore region received their first snowfall for the 07/08 winter season.

In the Baltimore area, about 3-4 inches fell. After being discharged and retuning home to Gaithersburg, I measured 4 1/2" in and around my home. Other newscasts reported about 5 inches in the Gaithersburg/Montgomery Village area.

Unfortunately I won't have many, if any photos to share since I'm stuck home recovering and can't drive or walk more than a few feet.

But at least it's early and there hopefully will be plenty of snow after I'm recovered and can venture out.
