Hello Everyone,
Well I had a splended weekend & on Monday made a trip down to Richmond,
Virginia to raifan {Trains}. It was sunny & hot with Yesterday's Hi's
{BOTH new records I might add} where 92F in Richmond, Va & 88F here in
Manassas, Va.
Here are some photos from the trip:

summer like day:

The Sun plays tricks with my camera view:
Have you ever wanted a cold glass of OJ on a hot summer like day! Well
here you go:
This shot is of CSXT K650 {Tropicana Orange Juice Train} passing threw
Ashland, VA.
Ashland is unique as two extremely busy RR tracks pass threw the center
of town & right by houses with roads on each sides of the tracks.
Almost 80 trains a day pass by here.
The trees here are already in bloom & it was a fantastic view with the
temp at 92F.

SUNDAY NIGHT:
On the way home Sunday night around 10:15pm I noted lightning in the
distance & my first thought was " Whoo Hoo time to celebrate".
I watched the storm on my left side while traveling along the Fairfax
County Parkway. It was a beautiful sight to see the cloud to cloud &
cloud to ground lightning strikes. I had assumed the storm was in
Manassas at the time & would come home into the frying pan. But alas
only some sprinkles fell. Lots of Lightning, some wind, O thunder at all
& a fantastic Moon afterwards.
Made for a great night!

LAST NIGHT:
I met up with my dad yesterday evening as we d on a weekly basis. Noted
before I leftthe house of a Severe Tstorm watch out & we decided to keep
an eye to the sky.
>From about 7:45-10:30pm the wind blew { Max PPG 33 mphat the house}
Lightning was visiable in several directions but noteable is there was
no Thunder at all with these bolts. No Ran at all.
A Tstorm wth rain finally moved in about 11:15pm & then showers as I
returned home around Midnight.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
ON TO TODAY:
I awoke late {Noon} so I can't tell you how it started but when I
finally did geta chance to look ot it was cloudy but warm with temps in
the upper 60's & Lo 70's. Today's Hi was 70.3F under cloudy skies
Here are some shots from today:
