2013-2014 was amazing. Most wall-to-wall winter I can remember experiencing. Very cold day after day and above average snowfall. 09-10 will always be king in snowfall but 13-14 was true deep winter and never really relented.

Yeah, that's definitely the story of this storm so far. Hope it doesn't rise too much higher for those folks. I wonder what the highest tides were during Isabel. I remember some areas in Baltimore County were basically wiped out.

If that area fills in and we get a nasty line to form, it could change things and maybe we get higher winds and end up closer to 2-3 inches. It just looks rather sporadic once you get past Southern MD. I guess it really depends on what happens in that area northeast of Richmond that seems to be trying to expand a bit. I'm curious if a new line is going to form or if the line northwest of DC is the one shown on most models as being the main show. The NAM looked really impressive about 24 hours ago but definitely looked less impressive since then.

The coastal flooding is obviously very significant and could potentially be very costly but the rest of this storm is very meh. Rainfall will probably end up around an inch and the winds look like they will top out at gusts in the low 40's. Radar looks like the back edge, except for some isolated pockets, isn't all that far away.

I picked up 3.5 inches Monday into Tuesday. Combined with the Friday system, I should easily eclipse 5 inches this week. Wish it had come sooner, but hopefully it helped the lawn seeding efforts.

I'd guess somewhere around 50 inches would be the max, maybe a little less. A lot of people have seen 36-40 just west of the cities.

Sure could use the rain. Been forever since we had a good soaking. Making the seeding season more difficult, and trying to stick Halloween decorations into the lawn quite challenging!

Yeah, it's wild. Some trees in my neighborhood have turned all brown and most of their leave are gone, which may be related to the cicadas, both most trees are either still green or showing just a hint of change. Usually, most of the leaves are down by Halloween but my yard hardly has any.

Who's chasing? LOL.

Yeah, so humid. This weather is terrible. Give me 60's and low 70's with a cool breeze and no humidity.

The 6z GFS is quite interesting. Still 10+days out, though.

Just a shade under 3.25" here between yesterday and today. Getting my daughter to the bus stop was an adventure this morning.

Another burst of good wind here. Been a very active day here. This is at least the third windy cell with heavy rain to come through.

Honestly thought it looked a lot more interesting when it was down my way, and it did get pretty gusty as it came through.

Let's hope this is accurate but delayed a month or so.

Rain!

Still dry here as well. Feels like it is all around us.

December 5th! Lock it in!

NAM says what storms? It's been incredibly inconsistent today for tonight.

Yeah 12z NAM looks very active compared to 6z.

I ended up with just under 3 inches. Got almost 2 inches overnight and then picked up right around an inch yesterday.

Yep. We were quite fortunate. Outstanding forecast. I busted low on rain today and overall, and last night's surprise storm gave me almost all of my rain, but what an impressive system. Legit tornado outbreak today. Ida is definitely retired and going down in the record books.

It's pathetic. We all knew for days that area was going to get pounded and was already susceptible for flooding given recent rain events. As a whole, this event was very well forecasted. Yeah, the tornado threat around the cities didn't happen (thankfully), but to expect that kind of perfection isn't realistic and it was an almost flawless forecast.

Probably still can't afford to fire the driver. They literally need any breathing individual right now to drive busses.

Was done for hours.
