  1. I don’t think I’ve seen it mentioned here, but Sterling is one of the upper-air sounding sites that have suspended regular launches to the lack of available hydrogen and helium.
  2. That streamer near Frederick is putting down a coating per family.
  3. Technically it is the greatest depth during the day.
  4. I want this lapse rate in the summer!
  5. Giving Bastardi a run for his money. Where is my global cooling anyway?
  6. Yeah, I'm like 9th out of 15 in my league, but have the most points possible left on the board, so that's something.
  7. You beat me to it. I remember a fun Mar/Apr event a few years back that was a convective graupel shower. Would not be surprised if someone gets that on Saturday. edit - 3/22/2029 edit2 - I'm leaving it
  8. 6z GFS tries to snow on us Tue/Wed next week.
  9. I think there is a seasonal dependence to the wind around here. We can and do get wind from Oct-Apr, but it is doldrums in the Summer. That's not the case elsewhere in the country. Wind Resource Maps and Data | Geospatial Data Science | NREL
  10. It is really funny. This is one of the least windy places in the country. The problem here, however, is that the trees aren't accustomed to a constant wind, so they are more susceptible to significant wind events.
  11. Anything that helps prevent a huge heat dome building over the plains and spilling east this summer is A-ok with me.
  12. The models generally blew it today. Was looking like low to mid 60s and more clouds.
  13. Yeah, that is an interesting part of meteorological history. Until 1950, U.S. Weathermen Were Forbidden From Talking About Tornados - Atlas Obscura
  14. Hope it goes well. I’ve had stones but no obstruction before. Clicked around and found Williston ND would have a 9:45am sunrise in late Dec. LOL. I understand people not liking the clock switch, but it really is hugely helpful the further north you go. I’m more afraid we are going to end up with an unwieldy patchwork if locations are allowed to do what they wish.
  15. Falls Church, VA 1/3/22 - 8.8" 1/7/22 - 2.8" 1/16/22 - 2.8” 1/28/22 - 1.2" 2/13/22 - 0.5" 3/12/22 - 1.7" Total: 17.8” (94% of climo)
  16. This is very reminiscent of the upper Plains. The footprints from earlier in the day are filled in, but it is hard to make measurements that prove that more snow fell.
  17. And down to 26.0 not long after. Not bad for mid-day on March 12th.
  18. Considering temps, wind, and snow, I think this is peak storm right now.
  19. Temp rebounded to 32.5 in the lull, but it has started snowing again.
  20. Temps started to turn down and the wind has kicked up again closer to DC. 30.7
