  1. It's gonna be great! A couple inches will be great to see. Anything else will be icing on the cake or driveway.
  2. Snow chasing at my parents' in the Shenandoah Valley. KLUA (Luray Caverns) bottomed out at 23 last hour, but is up to 25 now. Local PWS stations also rising. It's over.
  3. Now to watch Doug Kammerer latch onto it and whip up a frenzy.
  4. They only have three zones (the heavier black outlines), not county-by-county. Don't read too much into that. Western ridges, Shenandoah Valley/north and west suburbs, and I-95/Southern Maryland.
  5. Any local TV stations streaming?
  6. Anybody know where this radar indicated rainfall basemap comes from? Did LWX do the smoothing themselves? The only spot I know is https://water.weather.gov/precip/ and the detail is pretty low. Does anyone have an online resource they can recommend?
  7. Mesoscale Discussion 0186 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0813 PM CST Thu Feb 24 2022 Areas affected...Parts of PA...far northeastern WV...far northern VA...MD...and northern/western NJ Concerning...Winter mixed precipitation Valid 250213Z - 250715Z SUMMARY...A mix of freezing rain and sleet will develop northeastward into the overnight hours. DISCUSSION...Latest water vapor imagery depicts a strong shortwave trough and accompanying midlevel speed maximum advancing eastward across parts of the Middle MS Valley. Ahead of the shortwave trough, surface observations show pressure falls being maximized in the OH vicinity, where a low pressure system will continue to develop over the next several hours. As the cyclone deepens, increasing southerly flow and related warm air advection will overspread the Central Appalachians and Mid-Atlantic states, resulting in a gradual increase in winter precipitation in the 03Z-08Z time frame. Across the southern and central portion of the discussion area, RAP forecast soundings show 850-mb temperatures increasing to 3-5 C atop a shallow subfreezing layer, which will favor complete melting of descending hydrometeors prior to refreezing near the surface. This will result in primarily freezing rain, with rates as high as 0.05 in/hour owing to the strengthening forcing for ascent and deep-layer moistening. With northward extent, observations and forecast soundings show a deeper low-level subfreezing layer, with 850-mb temperatures near 1-3 C, indicative of partial melting of hydrometeors and the potential for sleet and freezing rain. Farther north across northern PA, moderate snow is likely to develop where deeper cold air is in place, with an eventual increase in snowfall rates expanding northward into NY during the early morning hours. ..Weinman.. 02/25/2022
  8. It was successful with the Friday/Saturday storm at this range, right?
  9. I just searched too. $192 if you come back Monday morning.
  10. Your vaccine should help with your 5G service, though!
  11. Can’t brine. It’s starting as rain. And yes, Rush Hour Criteria WWA.
  12. They are. Some better than others. I think Doug Kammerer hypes too much (and re-writes history). The rest of 4’s weather team is good.
