  1. Another thing that an arctic front does that a typical cold front does not is it squeezes out the moisture more than relying on residual moisture. I think thunder is probable and snow squalls and showers.
  2. -2.5 850 And -1 925. surface plots shows a 998 that surface plot wise did not gain latitude in last hour but rather due east. Hard to assess but extreme cold to northeast is from departed low and extreme cold from nw/w is from arctic high
  3. It looks like the view from several miles west of Berkeley Springs
  4. 82 was the famous “Cold Sundays” one weeek apart. 85 was inauguration and I recorded all time low for me -6. 94 was epic afternoon cold with the one day where I was 12 at 11am falling to 1 at 5pm, -6 overnight.
  5. This is the Mongolian express I referenced.
  6. Thanks. It was wet and sideways like out of a fire hose, 1” in 22 minutes
  7. Models having hard time with lurking arctic blast, snow cover, and assertive cold high pressures in general perhaps we spike in next two hours but forecasts yesterday for this afternoon were highs in upper 40’s and were in upper 30’s so far. This is not garden variety cold lurking and really any high pressure that we have had for these events has been suppressive. There have definitely been stone cold cutters but we are not in that kind of pattern now.
  8. I think we gust to 50 around DC with sustained at 25-30 for hours. Who has the date of that arctic plastering frontal squall from several years ago?
  9. Sun is still dead right now, increasing influence of a marginal nature thru Feb and then rapid increase in influence after first week of March
  10. I said yesterday low goes right over DC. That track keeps us in low 40’s and then when you have extreme cold lurking the low quickly “flushes” the cold air downward and into our area very quickly after moving east/northeast of the city.
  11. Man -30 850s and moisture. I see how the isobars of the low show northeast move but then by western Kentucky the isobars show the latitude gain would stop. Also gotta think for an hour or two post arctic frontal passage that it's going to be squally.
  12. It’s not giving up and firing off some more volleys.
  13. The slug of eroding warmth portrayed as entering into southwest PA well may not make it that far north. That’s the trend and that’s some spooky looking cold ready to pounce.
  14. Downtown going to get some near 1”ph stuff.
  15. 11pm obs 1.4”, moderate snow started 10.50 otherwise light last several hours. Rate right now .5-.75ph. 31F
  16. Looks like we’re getting busy again. Never did completely stop snowing here even when radar showed zip
  17. Had a moderate burst from 7:45-8:15 but very light since then 1.2” and 32F
  18. I can’t make this a forecast but just looking at the all day east movement and still almost due east. It’s like the high is asserting strong again and not allowing much northern move Nor west cut. Going to be interesting to see if that holds.
  19. No let’s be happy rather than constant chirping pessimistic
