« March winds put a chill on | Main | Space station views this week washed out »

Gone fishin'

Spring is in the air. The peepers are singing down by the creek and blossoms are busting out all over. It's time the old Weather Blogger took some time to get out and enjoy it, instead of sitting in here writing about it.

I may pop up during the next week to post a notice about a space station flyover (there are some nice evening passes coming up), or some other event I can't resist. But mostly I will be spending time with my favorite teacher, and watching Sam Zell on You Tube. 

Happy Spring!

Hello, I have never commented here before, but I have learned a lot already from reading your posts---thanks! I just went to the zoo too, but of course I didn't get to see Felix.

I have a question: when will the danger of frost be past for me? I live in Worcester County, Berlin/Ocean City area, right by the Rt 50 bridge.

Thanks for this great site!
Sincerely,
Christine Watsky
