If you are in its path, don’t play games with the weather. Stay dry, stay sane, and above all: stay safe. This one looks like it’s going to go up along the Georgia / Mississippi border instead of along the coast, so keep an eye on the updates. And remember: stuff can be replaced, but nobody’s giving out extra lives.

Now we get to see if the power goes out.
This storm has been heading our way all afternoon, and while we need it, we maybe don’t need the high winds that are coming with it. Ah, August. This is when we get the dramatic weather.
Tomorrow promises to be evil weather here.
100 degrees AND thunderstorms. At the same time. I’m tempted to hang my new suit somewhere out of the rain in the morning, save myself the cost of a steam-cleaning.
Stay safe this week. The weather well and truly sucks, east of the Mississippi right now. And that’s just the part I’m paying attention to.
We’re getting hit with a tropical storm Saturday. Sorta.
It’s going to be a lot more of an Eastern Shore problem than an inland Maryland problem. That being said, they’ve already canceled the SCA event my wife was going to attend, and we’re gonna get wind and rain. Will there be a power failure? Very possibly! Will it get fixed right away? I guess we’ll see!
At any rate: if you live on the Eastern Seaboard, please avoid mucking about with small boats this weekend. Thanks.
Internet out and in today.
Thunderstorms and fairly heavy winds, at times. At least it’ll cool things down around here for the next few days. August goes on.
Tomorrow I get to bring the books over to the MD Renn Faire – I’ll be there on September 10th to sell my books. If you’re in the area, come on by! …After buying your ticket, like, now. They sell out fast. Best to just buy them now, methinks.

If you live in the top half of the country, please stay safe.
We got a bad dose of snow and freezing rain going through that’s going to make life fun for half the country by Saturday. My kids’ schools are already doing two-hour delays tomorrow, which is impressive. Normally they wait until 3 AM before making that particular call. I give it only a 70% chance that they have school at all, honestly.
So, stay safe and contemplate the idea of avoiding non-essential travel. I dunno, make some cocoa or something.
I am so ready for winter to be over… hold on.
It should be over. The equinox was a week ago. And it’s below freezing out there now! We’ve got the heat on and I’m wearing a hoodie. In Maryland, at the end of March. What is going on here?
Blizzard warning for Hawaii*.
*The highest part of Hawaii Island, not the entire island chain. The ten-day forecast for Honolulu shows storms, with a high of about eighty degrees. But it’s still kind of neat, hey?
Annnnnd here comes the rain.
If I don’t post anything else for the rest of the day, it’s because the power’s out. Or there was a tornado. Buy my books!
Today was the traditional first “Why was this a snow day, again?” of the school year.
I have a weird situation in my county: I live in suburbia, but most of the county is semi-rural and there’s apparently some kind of natural climate line along I-95*. Go west of it, and rain will often start turning to snow. But they make the decision to shut down schools on the county levels, so my kids are used to seeing snow on the ground and assuming that there’s a two hour delay. Today they just… closed school completely, and the rain washed it all away by noon.
I ain’t that happy about this. I mean, the kids were fine, but: I had things to do today, man. Maybe they should try salting the damn back roads more?

PS: A bit early, too. Normally we get stuff like this happening after Christmas. I mean, it’s not even technically winter yet.
*This is probably wrong and I’m just imagining it and I still think that that’s what’s happening.
