That snow is just barely evaporating above us. This is from DC.

Outside of the ridge tops, I'm a bit underwhelmed by this wind to be honest. Would have expected more from this CAA.

Likely max'd out now.

This front tomorrow is looking "fun".

Definitely not my first TV experience seeing how I was on air almost every weekend for a time. But! It was great working with the Outdoors MD crew! Super fun to work with and loved their stories of working other segments. Their videographer who does all the underwater stuff left for Greenland to film sharks just after we wrapped. Lucky.

Garrett County Airport K2G4 came back but none of the others have. KFDK, KESN, and KMTN have been sending METAR's manually during hours that the control tower are open.

That rule got changed a few years ago (2018 I want to say?) but it's not retroactive. So the T snow in July stays.

Feb 5-6 for sure at least in the past 25 years. As I type that, I realize that's since 2000 and now I feel very old. Anyway, Feb 5-6 was the cake and Feb 9-10 on top was just extra icing. PDII of 2003 is #2. Wasn't on the east coast for '96 or '93 unfortunately.

I spent about 2 hours today making some phone calls to reach the right people who can perhaps turn up the pressure. This isn't going to be resolved overnight though.

Looked up the nearest Raspi-Shake station. 4km away. Good bang, not much rolling. https://stationview.raspberryshake.org/#/?lat=39.20355&lon=283.06439&zoom=10.776&event=rs2025vemlpd&sta=RC148

Please, and thank you.

Oh, Nice catch! There was a band of clouds there pretty much all night, blocked the longwave radiation cooling. Likely also prevented a sturdier inversion from developing and calming the winds at the surface.

Classic that we dedicate a whole 8 page thread to a NCRFB and then 3 days later get an actual thunderstorm

That's impressive yet also quite sad. Highest gusts have only been 40-45 at most. That sign was begging to die.

The longer range hi-res guidance is adverting a Narrow Cold-Frontal Rain Band (NCRFB) like feature for Sunday evening. This makes sense given the high shear / low (no?) instability. If we can't get proper severe, at least a NCRFB is "cool" meteorologically.

I went to Os game when they were in town and he hit 2 hrs off his first two AB’s. Just amazing human. If you watch old clips of the late slugger greats, I always noticed that it looks like they just chip the ball, not hard swings. Othani does the same. He hits HRs seemingly effortlessly.

All of it in-fact.

Clarksville and Layhill, both shallow sites, reached 36. Only briefly though.

This is one heck of a front, dynamics look great, just need moisture.

Wow! You think someone would tell me if these things are happening but I find out from here. Thanks for forwarding on!

Saturday, probably ok. Increasing clouds. Sunday, breezy, more clouds, somewhere between drizzle/light rain and an absolute washout. Monday: Breezy and light rain

You are wise to use this rule... Why are you here again? The s/w coming in and how far west that dives in is the key to this. The more west the more the track sticks to the coastline. Some of the high-res guidance (NSSL-MPAS, RRFS) are back into the OH/IN border. Little bit of a global vs high-res discrepancy starting to emerge.

Did some digging this morning. Obviously the dynamic models are struggling with the evolution of the s/w cutoff low breaking from the main stream. The lack of upper air data up that way doesn't help. The main factor in east/west placement of the precip is how far east/west the s/w stalls out. GFS places it further west near Sandusky, while the Euro has it towards Erie/Buffalo. This matters as the main precip hit is following the 700mb frontogenic forcing in the lead-up to the two cutoff's merging. There is some correlated jet coupling going on too.
