  1. ~600 per PEPCO in the 20878 zip code. Circuit failed at ~5:40 am...no ETR.
  2. Yea weird...it's been updated at least half a dozen times since 4am. Wonder if it's a computer error? Went from nothing to a steady snow in ~10 min in Gaithersburg.
  3. Yup. Huge red flag. NWS playing catch up is when we score. This is not our storm.
  4. I still believe this is going to be a snoozefest outside the climo favored zones. If I'm right so be it, if I'm wrong you can get your jollies off with a snarky bump post or troll. Have fun.
  5. Montgomery County Public Schools and offices will be closed Wednesday, February 20, 2019 due to pending emergency weather conditions. All school and community activities in school buildings also are canceled tomorrow. All childcare centers located in school buildings will also be closed.
  6. It's a crap app...don't trust it. Use local NWS office and mets on here. You'll win 9/10 times.
  7. I was referring to the western suburbs back into Frederick City...........
  8. Looks like LWX chopped snow totals down for Montgomery/Howard/Baltimore counties...trending toward a nonevent.
  9. People cling to that craptastic model for some reason.
  10. Agreed. It's like they're designed by a computer programmer or engineer who has no background in geography or cartography.
  11. BWI: 4.5" IAD: 4.5" DCA: 1.0" RIC: 0.8" Tie: 2"
  12. It's a total disaster. The entire 12z suite has been pointing to the wheels falling off. 18z better stop the bleeding or else it's going to be ugly tomorrow.
  13. A terrible forecast...whoever made that should be fired.
  14. As of 1pm, the cirrus function on GOES-16 shows a thicker cloud deck streaming into the area from the west...our EOC wx station shows the solar energy dropping off from 300 watts at 11am to just 40 now. That should really cut down on temperatures across the area for the rest of the day.
  15. When I was a lead forecaster in college, we were always taught to read the NCEP diagnostic disco first before looking at anything else...either obs or models. You learn so much through that one product.
  16. It's certainly possible the 3k NAM is right for several reasons: 1.) the jet streak was well sampled by the the RAOBs out of New York this morning. 2.) we've seen the last minute north trend all winter, this could be it. 3.) ian is coming back from vacation in time for the "storm" so this thing is falling apart just in time for him to get back in town
  17. This. Especially if you're on mobile, it's hard to understand where a poster is talking about.
  18. Would be great to get some cloud cover in here before solar maximum...even if it's a veil of cirrus.
