    ^dews should mix out a bit today, but still mid 70s in mid-august is a tad humid. Hoping to get a good storm today for the garden,

    12/8/2013 from Harpers Ferry, WV to Philly.

    Yup there's nothing better than going to bed expecting nothing and then you get awoken by that early brightening of the skies and looking out to see everything covered with a surprise 5" of snow. Then you go downstairs, flip on the NOAA Weather Radio and hear those three amazing words "Winter Storm Warning". You get excited as the message reads out on the automated voice with words like "through late tonight" and "drifts exceeding two feet". Those are amazing events.

    IAD gusted to 66 mph...wow

    It looks like a legit right moving, low topped supercell. Even the 0.5° BV has 50Kt winds right off the deck. Impressive.
  6. Eskimo Joe
    Probably a nice shelf cloud starting to develop from that storm.
  7. Eskimo Joe
    That's a legit little cell in Loudoun...probably riding the terrain and some differential heating boundary. Seems like there's more clearing over NOVA than the MD side of the Potomac.

    Just got a SVR (#532 for LWX this calendar year).

    Looks like parts of the region just got upgraded to a D1 SLGT

    I think with the advances of short term guidance I really think the days of a big storm totally sneaking up on us are just about over. Just IMO, the 2000 and 2011 events were back before we really made the leap on the HRRR, etc.
  11. Eskimo Joe
    Wow that's a bold call.
  12. Eskimo Joe
    Nope, I love legit winter storms especially ones that surprise everyone. Just like 1/25/2000...it's a shame that with better forecasting accuracy these are quickly becoming a thing of the past

    WINNING

    Nada in Baltimore
  15. Eskimo Joe
    Just like June 13, 2013 when we went from D1 MOD to nada in 2 hours. Moco had a tornado but that was it.
  16. Eskimo Joe
    Damn I was legit curious. I'm not well versed on storms pre 1987. Sounds like the kind of storm I'd love!

    D2 ENH/MOD is the kiss of death in these parts.

    What was so neat about the blizzard of 79?

    September to December is the best beer time of the year.

    I planted on time, but lost a week of feeding/weeding for a small vacation. That tip was for everyone else because there's nothing more exciting than watching pumpkins grow and making fresh pie from them.
  22. Eskimo Joe
    Yup. D2 ENH is the new D2 MOD in these parts...destined for failure.

    Pumpkins finally showing up on my vines. ProTip: if you're trying to grow squash, melons or pumpkins and only getting male flowers, it is likely due to stress. Feed your plants a high potash formula for 2 weeks and you'll see female flowers pretty quickly.

    People forget the ENH is just the old 30%. We average between 1 and 3 ENH a year and it's been pretty quite this year even compared to our usual quietness so I wonder if folks are just starved for some action.
  25. Eskimo Joe
    Eh, something usually messes us up. LWX talks about cloud cover so it'll probably be that. Maybe it'll be different this time.
