  1. Give us that with surface of 95/74. Gonna be lit.
  2. Neat little thing going on today. Low level northeast flow is down-sloping on the western side of South Mountain and Catoctin Mt. causing the western edge of Frederick County to be full sun while everywhere else is socked in.
  3. Looks like some gravity waves evident in east Mississippi ahead of the line? Might be an indication the atmosphere is primed for a decent tornadic event. Also surprised at the lack of posts for a D1 MOD. Is this not a popular subforum?
  4. HAM Radio reports major damage at Kalahari Resort, trees down over railroad track by TX rte. 79/Red Bud Trail.
  5. A fertilizer spike and a protective covering would go a long way to save your Rhododendron.
  6. 80 in NW DC at 7pm this evening.
  7. It's really amazing that we have places like North Carolina, with the growing research triangle and Carolina Alley along with Florida with it's increasing hurricane risk and population growth that are just being ignored by Congress. You'd think a couple of senators would be able to get a bill in to at least cover these areas. I know that NOAA/NWS has been doing a metric ton of work to address this stuff but you can only go so far with the hard scrabble budget they're given.
  8. Saturday has good potential if the timing works out.
  9. As part of the NWS Hazard Simplification (HazSimp) process the HWO will cover the Days 2 - 7 threats.
  10. Personally, I'd like to see the NWS start filling the radar gaps in the country (NC, FL, etc.) and use the opportunity to make the new radars phased array instead of the WSR-88D. You can build a site from scratch for the new technology, fill long standing gaps, and see how it compares in the field to existing tech.
  11. Ship deviated from the main channel, but it's not out of the realm of possibility it played a role.
  12. We stood the chance for a cold powder Christmas snow. That makes any missed snow sting doubly.
  13. Low of 16°. Quite refreshing.
  14. La Nina winters really bring out the nuances of forecasting snowfall in this area. When you have blockbuster years like 2009-2010 it's tougher to distinguish the importance of what 100" in elevation or being one county too far west/east can have on a forecast event 12 hours out.
  15. Down to 24. Light snow, winds steady. Really impressed with this event.
  16. Grew up in Roxborough...that part of the city you're in is a snow desert. Worse than DCA.
