(SOMD.COM Southern Maryland Online by Lauren C. Williams) WASHINGTON (March 29, 2009) — Maryland could be put on a drought watch if April doesn’t bring lots of showers.

Read this very interesting article with lots of relevant historical data on our local weather and water situation. Thank you SOMD.COM and Lauren Williams!

Neeld Estate at Plum Point was without AC power this Sunday. I’m told the power went out around 2:00 PM. We know it came on just after midnight on Monday. What we don’t know is why? There was no weather to speak of and no apparent reason for ten hours without power. Events like this are are less chronic than they used to be but still, in the 21st century and after paying OUTRAGEOUS power bills to Barely Gas and Electric this Winter I don’t expect this kind of inconvenience. What do you think?

National Weather Service and the St Mary’s County Department of Public Safety encourage anyone with an interest in public service to join the SKYWARN program. SKYWARN Storm Spotters include police and fire personnel, dispatchers, EMS workers, public utility workers and other concerned private citizens. Individuals affiliated with hospitals, schools, churches, nursing homes or those with a responsibility for protecting others are also encouraged to become a spotter.

This free class will last approximately two hours and will include the following curriculum:

• Basics of thunderstorm development
• Fundamentals of storm structure
• Identifying potential severe weather features
• Information to report
• How to report information
• Basic severe weather safety
