Humm - my Vantage VUE currently show 97/77dp which is 113 HI. Seems a bit hi.

Worked outside from 1130 until about 1900 on a retaining wall project. Using a hand held concrete saw with DPs in the low 70's made it pretty ugly. Could have been an episode on "Dirtiest Jobs". Got to a good stopping point in advance of the next few days. Currently 85/74 here.

Pouring here the last 20 mins. FFW for part of the area till midnight.

1.55" so far. Mainly a steady soaker here.

Wes - it's great to have you back amongst us again. We're honored. Hope you are doing well.

Woke up and saw 200+ posts in the LR thread and thought "are we back?" Then realized an appreciable number of the posts was the back and forth nonsensical banter of a couple of posters who should know better than to clog up the LR thread with that junk. So disappointing and text-book behavior for why some of the older foundational members of this forum and Eastern before it left. We had a couple of the older, (more experienced) crew make showcase appearances, which was great. Wish they would stick around more but suspect its too painful.

Indeed - don't recall seeing that many colors for a long time. The national view is interesting too. The expanse of the high wind watch is pretty amazing. https://www.weather.gov/

And it's a 10:1. Several others mentioned the ratios are likely going to be much higher this time around.

Great to see you are still at it. Hadn't seen any updates this year yet and was wondering. Recall seeing your setup years ago on the previous forum and was in awe at the effort.

199 pages... whew...

Right at 4" here too NW of Vienna on Lawyers Rd. Lawyers was closed for a while due to a serious accident. May still be closed. Going out to plow the first bit with the Kubota

Totally Agree, NFL is going to take a hit for this one, big time. I grew up with Ohio Players, Parliament, P-Funk Allstars, Lakeside, War, House muzic and the like... Used to DJ for Soul Sessions at a couple skating rinks in Ohio in the 60's, 70's and 80's. Hard to imagine how the NFL marketing team thought this was a good idea.

haha - You didn't miss anything on TV. If KC doesn't start playing the activity here will likely ramp up a lot by the end of the 3rd quarter.

Simple THE worse half-time show in history. Hope the second-half ramps up or the network is going to lose a lot of viewers.

Thanks for the explanation. Always wondered about how the ensembles factored into that. Much appreciated.

Me too - good old days of dial-up and slowwww downloads. But because it was slow, people thought more about what they said. I am really old - almost born in the 50's.

34/25. The dp is rising faster than the temp is falling atm.

36/21 NW of Vienna

Posted at 23:35 for the folks up near the Mason-Dixon Special Weather Statement National Weather Service Baltimore MD/Washington DC 1135 PM EST Sun Feb 2 2025 MDZ003>005-502-WVZ051-052-030700- Washington-Frederick MD-Carroll-Central and Eastern Allegany- Morgan-Berkeley- Including the cities of Hagerstown, Frederick, Ballenger Creek, Eldersburg, Westminster, Cumberland, Paw Paw, and Martinsburg 1135 PM EST Sun Feb 2 2025 ...PATCHY FREEZING DRIZZLE OR LIGHT FREEZING RAIN POSSIBLE... Patchy freezing drizzle or light freezing rain may be possible across northernmost portions of central and western Maryland, as well as Morgan and Berkeley counties in West Virginia through 2 AM. Some patchy slick spots may be possible on area roads, and drivers are encouraged to exercise caution if out traveling tonight.

Indeed 22 members show 9" or more for IAD, 12 showing 12" or more. Amazing.

15/2 - dropping fast

Yup - less than an inch here not far from you just NW of Vienna. Congrats to those who cashed in. Disappointing and I was just hoping for the bottom end of the forecast range.

Slightly heavier rain dropped the temp from 36 (where it's been for hours) to 35 and immediately started to switch to white rain. Hope everyone in the area cashes in on something. The inbound cold is going to be intersting. Extreme cold warnings out for parts of WVA and Cold Weather Advisories out for much of the eastern 2/3 of CONUS all the way down to central FL. Wind chills are going to be dangerous for some.

From the looks of radar, and the lack of returns, it's hard to imagine we're on the eve of a decent event (decent for around here given the past few years of nada).

Now... if Sterling would just expand the WSW a bit to the SE, at least to the fall line...
