Out walking the dog and something was forming over my head, some lightning a little too close for comfort so made a hasty return home. 

100 on my home thermometer. I don’t know who to thank 

From a friend in Clifton

In the red, sounds like the world is ending outside! Absolutely dumping with some bangs

Been getting good rounds on and off since about 7. The last one was surprisingly the most intense of the night with enough wind to knock a few branches down. Current batch still soaking with another cell lining up after

Did you lose power and/or notice any damage to your house after it took a direct hit from lightning during the June 4th storm?

No fortunately. In 2014 we took a hit and had to replace the AC so no stranger to damage.

Few rumbles and some gusts in my downpour 

Few sprinkles with a passing dark cloud, hope we get some action later 

This ones for real, putting on a light show with some good gusts 

Intense in Centreville. Gusty and lots of lightning, Car is finally Pollen free  Edit: House just took a strike, scared the daylights out of me. 

Mammatus? 

BWI: 98

IAD: 97

DCA: 96

RIC: 99

Looks like the actions gonna split me, still warm and sunny out

Sun is out, 70° in Centreville 

Hello Ohio Friends! This is my yearly, pre-visit post to your lovely forum. I am driving up from DC Thursday afternoon and leaving Monday. I am starving for flakes, what are my odds of seeing anything at all during that period? Flurries? Anything?? Thanks in advance

Six Years ago.. Heck of a storm. Went to bed around 12 as first flakes started, woke up at 8 to ~15 inches on my deck

Some light Graupel? in Fairfax, a surprise 

Decided i'm gonna spend a weekend visiting family in Cleveland second week of March, maybe i’ll finally see some snow

It’s good to be King. 

And a little bit of fun is different from the crap that initiated posting guidelines. 

Did you really want that 20 page discussion I had with mdecoy in the main thread because that’s where it was in past years. We had the same talk this year only it didn’t clog up the pattern discussion. Progress. 

I wanted to take a minute and thank all the Mods for their work so far this winter! Board is far more readable for us lurkers thanks to your hard work, it is very much appreciated! Now lets see what happens when we have our first real storm..

Missed this one, sending positive vibes from Cancun! 

Nasty. 

Snow showers in downtown Fairfax

IAD 0z sounding had wet bulbs below freezing through the entire column except maybe right at surface. Low levels are dry. Virga fest to start. And yes, models account for that.

 

As that Virga band moved overhead I poked my head outside to see if anything was reaching the ground. If I squinted hard enough I could see a spurt or two but mostly nothing. Sitting at 36F

Rain mixed with a flake or two in Centreville. 

I swear I saw a wet flake or two in Fairfax a couple minutes ago
