  1. Incredible. I helped install this station too! You can see it from US 50 by the fire department.
  2. OPM got raked over the coals after the Jan. 26, 2011 snow event when they put an early dismissal out but folks waited until the last minute to leave. Now there's a "everybody out b [insert time here] rule. But yea, waiting that long to dismiss was kind of weird.
  3. We don't get a setup like this often. The separate thread was worthwhile, as even during a fail mode like this we can look back and use the information to diagnose what went right and wrong. Too many people whine in here. Damage assessment crews are out right now, and we're still fielding some reports that are delayed as folks come home from work.
  4. Local Storm Reports (LSRs) will lag. We've submitted over 20 just from our county to NWS alone.
  5. From the SPC [https://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/md/md0277.html] "The tornado watch will be cancelled in the wake of this line of storms. Some threat for damaging convective winds with the front this evening still persists, but will be handled with an additional watch later this evening if necessary."
  6. Classic Mid Atlantic would be to get an EF-3 tornado or something run through the metros not 3 hours after they cancel the watch.
  7. 00/06/12z HRRR was insistent on a strong cell running from IAD to Westminster and that's exactly what happened. It's like it got it right for the wrong reasons?
