Heavy rain, good thump of wind on the front end not a lot of lightning in the storm. Just as I type this a nice crack of thunder.

In Rockville hearing a lot of thunder.

Nothing but wet in Rockville. Loved getting an impromptu Jebwalk walking to the metro station this morning.

Can we just stick a fork in this thread? Maybe models will trend in the right direction, but let's just move on to Jan 24th, start that thread.
 

no. That thread doesn't get started until Jan 22nd because any earlier then we may as well just have this thread on repeat.

I'm cool with anything wintry. It will be colder come the weekend, even if its mixed bag precip event. but def not worth jumping off the ledge over. 

Pretty much this. No matter what we get cold again. I'm tired of it feeling and smelling of spring, it's January and needs to be cold.

Starting to accumulate on grass here in Rockville, tuned over to all snow.

Also what was Tony Pann's beloved RPM call for snow?

I cant not see HDRPS as the Herp Derp model every time it's posted. It's become a tick that even gets said aloud.

BWI: 11/2

DCA: 11/18

IAD: 10/31

RIC: 11/12

Obviously.

My favorite so far are the random font changes, capitalizations, hyphenations and other grammatical oddities in the SENC post.

It's like he's a living and breathing email FWD that I would get from my grandfather before he passed away.

Well according to the Matthew thread, he's been watching hurricanes for 40 years so that's right about the "get off my lawn" phase of life.

ALRIGHT ALRIGHT can we calm this down now please? I get it - it's the banter thread, but it's clogging up the forum.

If @mappy is okay with it, im okay with it. If shes not okay with it, she can nuke us from orbit.

About that Image going around?

huh, NO a Satellite CANNOT, "SEE" and take a clear Image picture, as posted on the Storm Mode thread..

(Showing the flooded parts of the Island)..

Sorry ya'll are DUPED again..

 Most satellites can't.

As the graph (below) shows, clouds reflect visible and infrared light quite well. In fact, visible light (approx. 0.4-0.7 microns in length) is more than 70% reflected by clouds! That means the light can't penetrate the cloud on the way down to earth, let alone penetrate the cloud on its way back up (satellites look down at angles ranging from 0-30 degrees) in order for the sensor to capture it.

Thank you for letting me know that google maps is fake news. I'll have to make sure those planes that fly over my house are just spreading harmless chemtrails then instead of taking pictures.

Why are all the tropical threads the worst?

Because everyone becomes either an extreme EJ in calling bust or a super weenie and every storm is now compared to Sandy because some of the NE folks just can't help themselves.

I feel like EJ at this point. Im expecting snoozefest imby. I'm sure someone is going to get to cash in.

Got to 60 this morning.  1st flakes are only a little over  3 short months away 

Welp. Behind this it seems like the HRRR/NAM was correct. Some people got some excitement but others have to live vicariously.

Yes

mod risk for excessive rainfall

 

If it's not a biblical rain day, it's a bust. /s

Ive got the Olney storm to my north that's being going on for about 2 hours now and now the Bethesda storm to my south and not a drop here. What a hole.

Lots of tree damage in Rockville, some trees snapped in half with others deleaved. Saw a lot of bark damage as well.

Oh boy. Can't wait to get fringed again.

Hot and dry here, and looking like no rain again.  Some places like White Oak that got nailed yesterday are getting again.

Same here in Rockville. Nothing like watching everyone else get rain and seeing your parched lawn praying for rain.
