Second sub-freezing morning in a row. Low of 30 with heavy frost.

32° with frost.

Clear and calm and down to 38°. Looks like first freeze is a pretty good bet here tonight.

Thunderstorms on the doorstep. Winds gusting to 36 mph ahead of the line. Temp has already dropped 12 degrees in the past 30 minutes, from 88 to 76.

Martinsburg reported 1.25” in the past hour. Now at 3.83” for the day.

Loud thunder and lightning with the cell moving in. Should push me past 3”

Numerous brief gusty showers with some heavy downpours have been moving through the past few hours. Last one had some thunder. Just measured 2.80” so far.

Heaviest rain of the day here. Over 2.5” and adding up quickly now.

When I turned on the game in Cleveland and they said they were getting rain from a gulf low before we were I cringed. Glad it’s not winter lol.

00Z GFS just upped the ante for west of I-95

Hiking all day Sunday at Dolly Sods. I’ve been hoping for that south trend to end up being the correct solution.

Just passed 1.00” for the event. 57°

I’ve worked in management for some rich guys before. If one of them had said publicly that he had provided me with all the resources I had asked for, was embarrassed by the results, and considered the performance of the organization to be a threat to his legacy, I wouldn’t expect to keep my job. Elias is a smart cookie. Pretty sure he could read the writing on the wall when Rubenstein made those comments early last month.

I think there was around 5,000 tons of explosives used just from Sideling Hill to Martin’s Mt over a 5-year period. i spent a lot of time in that area as a kid, visiting family in Beans Cove, Rainsburg and Clearville.

Drove that stretch a lot, in all kinds of bad weather, before I-68 was there. Rt 40/48 was a thrill ride crossing those hills, especially in thick fog or blowing snow. Glad you and the truck made it safely.
