WHERE HURRICANES, TORNADOES, LIGHTNING, BLIZZARDS, AND FLOODS ARE NO MATCH!
Only been about 25 minutes, and still awaiting confirmation (likely from the US Geological Survey / USGS) on the earthquake that struck the Washington, DC metro area. I felt it pretty good here in Gaithersburg, MD at around 5:05am this morning.

I almost forgot about doing a blog for the second day in a row. I haven’t been too busy, but I have been having a lot of fun which took [...]

A different kind of blog post for the last day of Meteorological Winter for 2010
The following question was asked over at www.skywarnonline.com:

Will DC see it’s first 12″+ December snow storm EVER?
