  1. Getting smoked in upper nw. Winds prolly gusting over 40 and it was quite the lightning show at the start though the cg kinda stopped when winds and rain hit
  2. It’s booming pretty good in up nw. A LOT of angry lightning bugs with this one.
  3. Our own little version of Moore OK or Tanner AL eta: decent winds gusted to maybe 40 here
  4. Yeah the afternoon afd said there might be another round
  5. Just realized today is the 11th anniversary of the Joplin EF5. I think that was a Sunday too. I think it was happening about this time of day as well.
  6. Love these storms with torrential rain while half the sky is bright think we’re gettting some small hail now hopefully it stays small
  7. Getting some serious CG action in upper NW eta: very heavy rain now but not much wind
  8. I’m hearing a few pingers in upper nw as well
  9. C-, maybe C. Let’s say a 73 if we rate it numerically. Pretty good January, the rest was in the crapper. Well, there were a few neat moments in March. Then again, I’m a hard grader, which isn’t a good idea around here.
  10. Missed out on the fun last night. What was it like in upper NW DC? No complaints from me though. My daughter (very proud of her) got into Colgate so we’re scoping out Hamilton NY. Easy excuse for snow chases the next four years. They still have some smaller piles of the stuff up here.
  11. it was great and nice to be able to throw a party for our family and friends. We’d been engaged for 3 years and my wife and I figured we owed them that for making them wait so long!
  12. Great pics. I have fond memories of the ANC; my wife and I got married there!
  13. Some fierce wind gusts over the past half hour or so, kicking up the snow
  14. Streets still clear in upper NW but that certainly belies what's going on right above. This has been more than legit over the past hour or so although it's winding up now. Combo of cold, snow, and wind is as good as it's been since the biggie in 2016. Past hour, in fact, was a bit reminiscent of that Saturday afternoon. Well, except for the fact there's 1-2" maybe on the ground as opposed to 22". Someone posted earlier that, recently at least, March has been DC's second best snow month after January. Today is further confirmation of that.
  15. Getting this afternoon what I thought we were going to get this morning. Moderate snow with a good bit of it blowing around. Maybe even moderate-plus at times, but it's hard to tell with it blowing around.
  16. Ground and cars becoming a little paler in upper NW as the snow begins to fall more heavily. And getting a little wind now.
  17. All snow now in upper NW so the changeover was about 17 minutes or so.
  18. Yeah the winds are definitely less than they were around say 6-630. Hope they pick up a bit later.
  19. A FLAKE! And mostly sleet now. This also kinda reminds me of Commutageddon, with the rain to sleet to snow quick change. Don't think I'll see the kind of thundersnow I had with that one (more than any other storm I can remember) but hopefully the winds (which weren't that prominent in Jan 2011) will make up for that.
  20. Getting some sleet mixing in now. Also got very dark there for a moment.
  21. Peering out the window trying to glimpse the first flakes, but the window is so obscured by the wind-driven rain that it's hard to see. This might be the most ridiculous ob I've ever posted. On a somewhat related note, hard to believe it's been 29 years since the Superstorm. This morning's nationwide warning map looks a bit like it might have then, with just everything displaced to the west a bit and not as amped. But the tornado watches in the SE/Florida, the winter weather watches/advisories into the northern Gulf states ... all there. Of course, most of DC metro was under a blizzard warning then ... don't know if it ever verified.
  22. Oh, I know, I'm just talking about the juxtapositioning on the map.
