Amazing stuff from Ed. The only shot that could've equaled this would be if Big Boy came back through Harper's Ferry.

Mid June in Maryland and almost everyone had a low temperature below 60°, with upper 30s out west. Hard to beat this weather. #MdWx

Genuinely how do you even top this in steam railroading? (Media shown belong to their respective authors)

June 4, 2008: A bi-modal severe weather event impacted the Central and Eastern US. A potent derecho tore a path from Indiana to Delaware, producing gusts up to 100 mph in Maryland and Virginia. In the Central Plains, supercells spawned large hail & 26 weak tornadoes. #wxhistory

Theodore Roosevelt was the first sitting president to leave the country. In November 1906, he sailed to Panama to see the canal being clawed out of the jungle. He went in the thick of the rainy season on purpose, because he wanted to see the work at its worst, not cleaned up for a visit. The schedule had him dining like a head of state. Instead, with no warning, he walked into one of the mess halls built for the laborers and ate the same 30 cent meal the workers ate. Shoulder to shoulder with the men digging the ditch.

Infrastructure Week please

New billboard day!

What a way to end the month in the Old Bay State. Full sun and a cool start, with some areas west of I-81 dipping into the 30s this morning. #MdWx

Rather amazing the delivery person doesn't stop and wonder why the sun is coming out at ~10 pm.

On May 18, 1943, Roosevelt and Churchill sat down in Washington and picked a date for D-Day. They chose May 1944. They missed by five weeks, mostly because of weather in the Channel. The largest amphibious invasion in human history was scheduled over cocktails, a year in advance, in a room overlooking the Potomac. Churchill stayed at the White House for two weeks. He worked in a bathrobe. He required a martini before lunch and brandy after dinner. FDR's staff complained that he wandered the halls at 2am wanting to talk strategy. Roosevelt loved it. The two men also agreed on the strategic bombing of Germany, the invasion of Italy, and the broad shape of the Pacific war. Stalin was not invited. He was told the decisions afterward. Three of the most important years in modern history were drafted that fortnight.
