The Enchanted Garden at Howard County Library System's Miller Branch is now certified by MonarchWatch as an official Monarch Waystation. The plaque was unveiled last night at during a Tween Sprouts youth garden club class in the garden during which students planted hots plants for monarchs, including milkweed.
The Enchanted Garden contributes to monarch conservation and provides a habitat and resources necessary for monarchs to produce successive generations and sustain their migration. We have three youth garden clubs, The Green Fingers, The Tween Sprouts, and The Enchanted Garden Youth Corps.

The London Underground (also known simply as the Underground or by its nickname the Tube) is a rapid transit system serving Greater London and some parts of the adjacent home counties of Buckinghamshire, Essex and Hertfordshire in England.
The Underground has its origins in the Metropolitan Railway, opening on 10 January 1863 as the world's first underground passenger railway. It is now part of the Circle, District, Hammersmith & City and Metropolitan lines. The first line to operate underground electric traction trains, the City & South London Railway in 1890, is now part of the Northern line.
The network has expanded to 11 lines with 250 miles (400 km) of track. However, the Underground does not cover most southern parts of Greater London; there are only 33 Underground stations south of the River Thames. The system's 272 stations collectively accommodate up to 5 million passenger journeys a day. In 2020/21 it was used for 296 million passenger journeys, making it one of the world's busiest metro systems.
The system's first tunnels were built just below the ground, using the cut-and-cover method; later, smaller, roughly circular tunnels—which gave rise to its nickname, the Tube—were dug through at a deeper level. Despite its name, only 45% of the system is under the ground: much of the network in the outer environs of London is on the surface.
The early tube lines, originally owned by several private companies, were brought together under the Underground brand in the early 20th century, and eventually merged along with the sub-surface lines and bus services in 1933 to form London Transport under the control of the London Passenger Transport Board (LPTB). The current operator, London Underground Limited (LUL), is a wholly owned subsidiary of Transport for London (TfL), the statutory corporation responsible for the transport network in London. As of 2015, 92% of operational expenditure is covered by passenger fares. The Travelcard ticket was introduced in 1983 and Oyster card, a contactless ticketing system, in 2003. Contactless bank card payments were introduced in 2014, the first such use on a public transport system.
The LPTB commissioned many new station buildings, posters and public artworks in a modernist style. The schematic Tube map, designed by Harry Beck in 1931, was voted a national design icon in 2006 and now includes other transport systems besides the Underground, such as the Docklands Light Railway, London Overground, Thameslink, the Elizabeth line, and Tramlink. Other famous London Underground branding includes the roundel and the Johnston typeface, created by Edward Johnston in 1916.

In this sharp snapshot, the Solar System's largest moon Ganymede poses next to Jupiter, the largest planet. Captured on March 10 with a small telescope from our fair planet Earth, the scene also includes Jupiter's Great Red Spot, the Solar System's largest storm. In fact, Ganymede is about 5,260 kilometers in diameter. That beats out all three of its other fellow Galilean satellites, along with Saturn's Moon Titan at 5,150 kilometers and Earth's own Moon at 3,480 kilometers. Though its been shrinking lately, the Great Red Spot's diameter is still around 16,500 kilometers. Jupiter, the Solar System's ruling gas giant, is about 143,000 kilometers in diameter at its equator. That's nearly 10 percent the diameter of the Sun. via NASA

Dark, ominous skies out to the southeast. I was headed straight into a line of potentially strong t-storms this afternoon. Occasional lightning was seen. Bring it on! This was around Merced, CA while along highway 99 southbound. This was during my storm chase trip around the Central Valley... I left San Jose just after 10:30 a.m. & arrived to the valley before noon. I even met up with a fellow chaser, Sebastian, in Lathrop! Then we went our separate ways & I continued my chase southeast towards Merced. While along highway 99, a line of t-storms had formed in the Merced areas & I later experienced very heavy rain, thunder & lightning. As the afternoon progressed, another line of storms formed further southeast, around Chowchilla, CA with more flooding rains. I went home shortly afterwards and got home by sunset. I was thinking I should’ve stayed in the valley a bit longer since t-storms continued firing just north of Fresno... oh well. Nonetheless, it was a good chase day! ‘Til next time... (Chase outing taken place Thursday, March 22, 2018)
*Weather scenario:
California was experiencing quite active weather so far this rainy season. Even a funnel cloud was observed in the Central Valley just the previous day! This day, the active weather continued. What made this day's setup so favorable for t-storms was that all of this was developing ahead of a storm system’s cold front (the same system involved with our recent ‘atmospheric river’), which was well offshore. This setup was one of the best t-storm setups due to widespread patches of clearing (unlike the previous day Wednesday). What we also had was an exiting moisture plume, or aka, the atmospheric river itself that had been blasting the state for the past couple days. In the southern Sacramento to central San Joaquin valley, severe t-storms that did form along & ahead of the cold front were capable of large hail & potentially a few funnel clouds/tornadoes. The storms slowly subsided during the evening...

HCLS Chapters-of-Our-Lives Time Capsule installed in a beautiful circular bench in the lobby at HCLS Central Branch in Columbia, Maryland. A plaque displayed on the site that reads:
Within this bench rests a Time Capsule that captures the essence of Howard County Library System (HCLS) in 2015, our 75th Anniversary.
Its contents reflect our unwavering heritage as a 20th and 21st century educational institution with a mission to deliver equal opportunity in education for everyone through a curriculum that comprises Three Pillars: Self-Directed Education, Research Assistance & Instruction, and Instructive & Enlightening Experiences.
Symbolic of our timeless mission, this Time Capsule is a collection of three containers, all part of a 75-year plan:
To connect our past, present, and future, HCLS appointed 136 Howard County middle students to serve as Guardians. On October 24, 2015, they pledged to champion the HCLS legacy, keeping it safe for the next 25 years.
October 27, 2040 – The Class of 2015 will reconvene to pass on the role of Guardian to the next generation (Class of 2040). Together, the two generations will open and reseal the 2015 container, then fill the 2040 container.
October 24, 2065 – The Class of 2040 will gather to pass on the role of Guardian to the Class of 2065. Together, they will open and re-seal the 2015 and 2040 containers, then fill the 2065 container.
October 21, 2090 – The Class of 2065 will gather on the occasion of Howard County Library System’s sesquicentennial (150th) anniversary to open the Time Capsule.
Dedicated this 24th day of October, 2015 to the always forward-looking citizens of Howard County, MD.

North Shields is on the Tyne & Wear Metro system's coastal loop. The train in the platform is waiting to set off for Newcastle and the train arriving is for the coast. Note the diagonal flashes on the platform edge marking the point for trains to stop. The trains are one-man operated so the large reflective screens are needed to view the train along the platform when closing the doors.

An atmospheric river batters California during the overnight hours! Very strong & gusty southerly winds & rain were observed as this strongly awaited atmospheric river/storm system’s main cold front made ‘landfall’ in the Bay Area. This was indeed the strongest storm so far this season for the region. Conditions outside looked like a tropical storm! Certainly, this was a stormy night for the region. The Sierras were also looking at feet of snowfall before all this is said & done. This evening was just the 1st part of the storm. More heavy rain & wind was in store for the state over the next day or two as this atmospheric river was forecast to inch back north towards the South Bay the very next day... Things would finally die down by Friday. Stay safe out there! (January 26-27, 2021)
*Weather forecast/update: A strong Pacific storm, or atmospheric river, was expected to bring periods of moderate to heavy rain to the region. This system was forecast to arrive by Tuesday (Jan 26) & was to bring periods of heavy rain & high winds. This will likely result in an increased risk of mudslides over steep terrain, debris flow over wildfire burned areas, as well as localized ponding of water in low-lying areas. Up to 3 inches of rain was expected in urban areas & 3-7 inches possible over higher terrain. The entire area from Napa south thru Monterey & San Benito Counties would get a good soaking from this atmospheric river. Latest model guidance suggests the coastal slopes of the Santa Cruz Mountains & Big Sur look to be the primary target of the heaviest rain. On top of this, a high wind watch was also in effect during the period. South winds 20-30 mph with gusts up to 50-60 mph are possible. North Bay, San Francisco Bay Shoreline, East Bay, Santa Cruz Mountains, and the South Bay will all be affected. Timing of the strongest winds are forecast to happen Tuesday evening thru Wednesday morning as this strong system’s cold front sweeps thru. Damaging winds can blow down trees & power lines which may result in power outages… Stay tuned to the latest forecast for the most up-to-date weather info online…
