    Best show of the year in Gaithersburg. We had 4 hits that were on top of us and it is still going. Two may have hit my property it was so bright and close. Also saw green lightning. My 4yo even asked why it was so green.

    Across the street from me workers were on scaffolding that partially fell (per fire radio, I couldn’t see it on my side). This is in Gaithersburg. Sounds like they were okay. Saw fire equipment I didn’t know existed like an 18 wheeler truck (technical rescue 731).

    It's crazy I've had nothing this year. Every single event is a miss.

    I’ve lived in Maryland 4 years and I swear Frederick gets hit 10x for every one storm I get in North Rockville. I’ve yet to have lightning this calendar year besides some distant rumbles. Looks like more of the same.

    Good amount of lightning over Leesburg now, looks like more firing up there.

    Not seeing a lot of breaks in the clouds yet except way out west: https://www.meteoblue.com/en/weather/maps/washington-d.c._united-states_4140963#coords=6.5/38.615/-77.413&map=satellite~sat~none~none~none

    From what I remember, CMC was the first I noticed hinting at large amounts of sleet across DC metro, as early as Tuesday night last week. But that’s just one data point.

    I took apart the drain filter on my washer last year and it was disgusting. I had about 8 kids socks in there clogging it up and making it smell. Seems like a design flaw. The big design flaw was the hatch to get to the filter is on the back. Ugh.

    Instagram seems to like to feed me things that are 3 days old, which ends up hilarious when I keep seeing the weather channel maps from 3 days ago.

    Every 6 hours I check back in and the mixing is earlier and earlier. I’m seeing now around 9 AM. Unfortunately, that will really limit the ability for people to enjoy the storm. We’ll have kids home for likely two days stuck inside, and going out in sleet and freezing rain isn’t a good time. I’d much rather be on the northern fringe and get 4” of powder.

    I was also in NYC and if I remember right, that was the storm (on some other forum) where a ~40 yr veteran but retired NWS person called bust early and was eaten alive.

    Northern Illinois really had a crazy couple of days https://imgur.com/a/uxQXMDS

    Seems like the storms up by Rockville died out right on the doorstep. Still the most lightning I’ve seen all year, which is to say, not a lot. Sadly barely any rain. But on the plus side we have a nice rainbow now.

    The Gaithersburg tornado passed about a 1/2 mile north of me. Easily the craziest cloud movement I’ve ever seen for a few minutes. They were moving every which direction. Saw some interesting rotation right as it passed Gaithersburg downtown. https://imgur.com/a/rTvadzv

    What luck! Brother is getting married Sunday night in LA area. My flight back to east coast is monday midday. I just booked a backup flight on Tuesday because this does not bode well for flights out of LAX Monday.
