What does she say about the rest of the Year? Anything interesting like blizzards, severe weather outbreaks, hurricanes, etc in our neck of the woods?

Like a true dedicated weenie.

Was the 52 mph gust with the squall line earlier or are you talking about the past few minutes?

I've noticed over the past few years how these kind of convective squalls along a fast-moving northern stream cold front have been cruising through our region during very often during the mid to late evening hours.

A wonderful family you got there. It's also nice to see you recovering. Also, cool video name.

Yes you were out of town. You were chasing the snowy part of the storm up north. IIRC, I believe t'was the storm where your girlfriend made you miss out on experiencing 42" of snow. March 1st-2nd.

Not tropical wind though. ...And yeah the March 2nd wind event blows everything else out the water for me last year. Adrenaline pumping and prolonged event. Nothing excites me like wind. We don't do tropical wind well, sadly.

Well another year has ended and like last year I'm curious to know: What weather event last year was your favorite or most exciting/"extreme"?

In other words, multiple hits from somewhat decent tropical compared to what we usually see around here. We abscond.

Merry New Year to all ya panicked weenies!

That sounds like a lot of fun, actually... I'm in!

Received a coating... of frost this morning in Herndon, VA. I also experienced vision blinding frost covering the car before midnight last night. White Christmas: Check Low of 22F at IAD this morning.

Happy St. Patr- .......Happy Indepen-- ....... Happy Hal--.......Merry Thanksgi- You know what FORGET IT!! Just enjoy your day. ETA: Merry Christmas to you weenies! Whew, THAT'S what I was trying to say.

@EastCoast NPZ I echo everyone else in here when I say I am very glad that you and your family are okay. That is a truly scary experience indeed that I hope doesn't negatively effect your family in the longer run. Not that it matters (just being Curious George here) but what mall was this? I assume in the Winchester area?

Well for December 21st that was not too much of a snoozefest. Had a brief period of intense rainfall and 40+ mph wind gusts with some small hail at the height of it. Saw a flash of lightning and heard some thunder as well.

My guess would be something called "chaff"? If that's how you spell it.

Oh no doubt. That's the impression I got from watching the finale at least (didn't really watch any of the other episodes, lol).

Believe it or not I did just watch it (brother is a fan). He was rooting for the guy that won though, not the one you wanted.

Just don't kill too many bunnies if we end up with just 10" of ice accretion and a cat 4 up the Potomac and we're good .

Just lend me the keys. A legit 1-2"+ ice storm would be quite epic.

I really should not be having memory problems of this magnitude at this age . Try as I might I cannot remember such a big snowstorm occurring in these parts earlier this year . All I remember from February is it being freakishly warm at times especially on the 21st. IAD hit 80F that day with DCA hitting 82F lol. I do remember one event this past February giving me in Herndon, VA 1.2" of snow/sleet. I do remember all the other big storms that you mentioned though those were some very fun times indeed. How did the pattern transpire in order for this storm to occur? Also should I be worried that I cannot remember this event?

How did your neighborhood fare? Do you have good homeowners insurance? Take as many pictures of the damage as you can. It will help greatly with making claims. Good luck PSU. ETA: Also I know that I'm a bit late with this but good luck with your recovery as well.

At this point IAD might actually have a chance at breaking the yearly rainfall record. 2.37" so far there from this system.
