Pingers here...can't remember the last time we had two T-storm to frozen events in one winter, lol

Lucking into a semi-respectable March snow total from one overperforming event in what has otherwise been a torchy, April-like month is really something. That puts the official seasonal total over 50”.

Here’s a tally as of 10:55PM EDT today: only 2 tornadoes and 1 large hail event! But there still were 258 high wind reports! So, it wasn’t exactly quiet:

Electrical fires seem to be the hot ticket...

No one at TSA-just walk on through lol

This is how these types of events have been treated for decades. Also, not every spot in a warning experiences wind damage.

Quick update...I should have actually looked outside. It is completely snowing, moderately, and it already has been accumulating on the grass, mulch, and my car. There might even be a few tenths of accumulation so far. Another good indicator is my grill cover is also totally white. Temp now 32.7 degrees.

I saw exactly what you did. It’s not common and there is already reports on social media of power outages. It relates to where these downbursts occurred.

Borderline snow squall rolling through, wind ripping and moderate to heavy snow.

Yeah PECO is gonna have an interesting night. Been there and done that. Stay safe, everyone. https://www.peco.com/outages/experiencing-an-outage/outage-map

I mean wasn’t expecting much, but got a sloppy car topper. I’ll take it.

Marginal snow in the city

I just took an enjoyable walk in 47F windy post cold frontal 34F dew-point Canadian air at a park. I love strong cold fronts! Trash bins and other things were blown over there from this wind. Looking forward to more walks in this great wx the rest of the week. Looking for a low in the mid 30s at KSAV followed by a mid 50s high tomorrow making for one of the coldest St. Patrick’s Day parades in a long time! Erin go Blarney!

Thunder & lightning with heavy snow in Marysville at 11 pm !

Snow in Hanover, but the back end is close. Just another reminder how this winter was a disappointment with snow.

Power is flickering but on for now. Been a while since a front has moved through with this ferocity.

Rain has underperformed... .71"

Doesn't the NWS have a warning specifically for extreme winds? Look, I realize this is getting semantical. A warning is a warning and as long as it serves to warn the public to a hazardous condition, I get it. I just don't think we should have been warned for thunderstorms when there weren't any. My weather radio went off, twice. Once before, and once after, telling me to seek shelter in an innermost room in my house because of severe thunderstorms. This wasn't that.

Officially down 20 degrees now. Still windy but nothing crazy. 0.20” rain from the line but rain has stopped. Glad I stayed up for the it but disappointed no lightning at all.

That’s what I suspected too. The flashes were on the horizon and none of them lit up the whole sky. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen that around here, especially 3 times in 2 minutes like I just did.

Im okay. Saw 2 power flashes as i was standing outside. I could see the wall of rain coming in even in darkness, hearing a roar at the same time in the distance. Started raining and went inside, was a fun 5 mins. no damage MBY, and it looks like its just straight line winds on radar.

Sleet in Alexandria

Some sleet mixing and down to 38. 25 degree drop in two hours

Just before 11:00 here in Carlisle it appears to be snowing almost completely with very little, if any rain still in the mix. My temperature has dropped to 32.9 degrees. My backyard camera is showing the snow hitting my pavers which then are melting quickly. I'm sure it is starting to accumulate in the mulch and maybe a little grass. Total precip now up to 1.12" for the day. Maybe we will wake up to a surprise with a white ground?

Snow and 35. Coming down pretty darn good
