  1. Must have been an impressive event 34 years ago if you remember it to the day! Impressive memory! .
  2. Why is this still stickied? Just curious. .
  3. 6 flurries over past 15 minutes in Towson. Enough to officially and technically welcome the snowfall of winter 2019-2020.
  4. Hey all I have a random question. I have been on Android for a decade and just switched to the new iPhone 11. When on Android, I used an app called NWS NOW to very easily read the area forecast discussions from the NWS in lieu of a website bookmark (which made the discussion very easy to read in nice formatted text within the app without needing to zoom, etc). Does anyone know of an app for iPhone that would make it easy to read these discussions or must I revert back to a web page bookmark? And while I am asking, what app are you guys using for fast and immediate NWS weather alerts for iPhone? I am using Weather Line for regular weather status (I like the interface) and Storm Shield for alerts. But maybe there is a better app for nerds like us. Thanks.
  5. And most importantly post some pics! Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using Tapatalk
  6. You know the weather here is boring when you start checking Tropical Disturbance 3 on the east side of the Cabo Verde islands 3 times a day for any sign of development. tl;dr: No further development. At least the NFL starts tonight.
  7. Last night around 9:30 pm we had a respectable thunderstorm with heavy downpour over Chestnut Ridge (northern Baltimore County). Not severe by any stretch however I am taking what I can get during this week of "active weather" that was predicted last Saturday. But other than last night this week has been a fail for me. I am somewhat optimistic for today - the last day of this "pattern" until we reload next week. So maybe today - the day folks let their guard down or give up on the game - is the day we profit!
  8. It's starting to feel like winter waiting for these storms. Just sayin.
  9. I thought PD1 was in 2003 and PDII was in 2006. Am i wrong about that?
  10. I have one but can't post till Sunday. Check back.
  11. This was my favorite image from Snowmageddon. I had been hyping this storm to my Facebook Profile for 4 days prior to the storm. I was going BIG the whole way (thanks to this Board - well, I mean the predecessor Board, but same folks). 36 hours before Snowmageddon started, I posted "2.8 - 3.2 QPF !!!!!" on Facebook. Of course nobody knew what that meant, so my post read "If this storm verifies, it will be the largest storm in history to ever hit Baltimore (it wasn't - that was "officially" February 15-18, 2003) (see footnote 1 below). When people asked me what that meant, I said "28 to 32 inches". Many gave me a "like" button, some said "Bring it", etc., but all the other posters made comments such as "nobody else on tv is/are calling for that" (remember that was 36 hours prior to start). When it verified, I was a local hero to my Facebook friends. And when I hit again on last weeks storm when TV was at "low qpf and rain", I became their official winter met (again thanks to all you). Look at that thing (carefully) !!!! Do you see that? It is touching CANADA and COSTA RICA at the same time!!!! My comment when I posted to Facebook was simply "Here she comes!" And look behind that storm back in the Pac NW. You know what that was, right? That was Snowmageddon II. Such an AWESOME winter last year. Adam Footnote 1: First, it must be remembered that Snowmageddon was an event, not a storm. There were two storms within, more or less, 3 days. I will call them "Snowmageddon I" and "Snowmageddon II". But was "Snowmageddon I" the recordbreaker at BWI? You see, when it comes to measuring snow, the people at BWI, well, they "did it wrong". See http://baltimore.cbs...t-bwi-marshall/ Snowmageddon (the event) apparently also caused this controversy: http://weblogs.maryl..._all_ranke.html Unless I am mistaken, to-date we do not have an "official" calculation for Snowmageddon I at BWI.
