Remember that you now can get the balcony location data on Weatherlink. You can access the data through http://www.weatherlink.com/user/walrusman444

The internet, cable and land-line phone came back into full service sometime while I was sleeping in the morning. I had the rest of my great daughter Tracy’s superb Maryland Crab soup along with a cup of coffee for a late lunch.  I worked on email a bit, catching up on what I couldn’t do late Monday night. I watched some of the Nats/Braves and White Sox/Orioles baseball games, plus some wrestling and the usual late night show fare. Dinner was the rest of the home-made beef stroganoff mixed in with the rest of the No Yolk Noodles, warmed up in the crockpot for a few more hours that finally tenderized the onions and beef stew meat. I also had some prune juice and hot and spicy low sodium V8 before lunch and dinner. I continued to work a bit more on the newly “hatched” Weatherquack weather website which should be fun in the coming months. I hope some of you out there will join in the fun on Weatherquack http://www.weatherquack.com – it is completely free and easy to use once you complete your registration and a short ramping up period.   I also drank a good part of my ginormous water bottle throughout the evening and early morning hours.

On Channel 4 radar at 0500, there are no showers visible other than some showers in New Jersey in the Newark area, and numerous showers/storms in much of Long Island NY. They may be associated with a back door cold front coming down here from that area to our NE, hoping that is the case.

As of 0524 EDT, the data is once again available from my balcony (VP2 and Taylor), the Lakewood Country Club WXBug station, and the USG VP2 station across the street:
