Mid 70s today in #RVA, mid 60s in D.C. and Maryland; most areas will reach the 80s this weekend, though with a bit more cloudiness around. #VAwx #MDwx

Planning a road trip through Richmond to Washington DC.

If I get to Richmond (northbound) around 5 PM on a Thursday, should I expect heavier traffic in Richmond or approaching DC a couple of hours later?

I already know DC rush hour is roughly from 1 AM to 11 PM.

Should be dry the rest of the way for areas along and west of 95 from #RVA to #DC

Looking at the week ahead, Thursday morning will bring temperatures in the low 30s north of #RVA to D.C. and into much of #Maryland for a few hours. Might need to cover tender plants leafing out, as well as vegetable/herb seedlings. #VAwx #MDwx #DCwx

Lovely day today, park, library, backyard. #rva

95 southbound about to be shut down from Ashland south for a major accident (judging from the multitude of EMS and police that just whizzed by). #rva

Sharing this nice read from Reddit today. #rva Patrick Henry's speech inspired revolution. But we're still not sure what he said. https://www.richmonder.org/patrick-henrys-speech-inspired-revolution-but-were-still-not-sure-what-he-said/

Heavy showers finally arriving to #rva

When the west end PULSE extension is supposed to start? #rva

The Indigo Girls are playing #RVA in June and I have tickets. It's been about 30 years since I've seen them live.

A tornado watch is in effect now for areas of #Virginia south of interstate 64, including #RVA. Clusters of storms are starting to make their way northeast into the state from North Carolina and conditions are still favorable for a brief tornado or two. #VAwx

Showers have pushed east of #RVA and a flood watch is in effect for far southeast Virginia as heavy rain approaches; also quiet across much of west-central Virginia including the valley and down towards Roanoke; might see another round out that way later but for now things are in a lull.

The road is being repaved in front of my home.

This frustrates me because the road never would have needed repaving if the gas pipes had not been replaced. The gas pipes run next to an all all electric neighborhood so with just an ounce of creativity, I bet we could have retired the fossil fuel gas infrastructure altogether.

Not only did Richmond residents pay for the cost to replace those gas pipes (which includes the cost of repaving), now we're also collectively paying to repave the road AGAIN. I wonder how many $ millions was sunk into this street in just the last year?

A bit cooler tomorrow for D.C. into Maryland, but still quite warm for #RVA and much of south-central and southwest Virginia; still expecting gusty winds and another chance for a few strong storms on Sunday afternoon
