I think the cool, stable surface airmass is mitigating the downward transport of wind. That line has passed over 2 mesonet sites, College Park and Baltimore City, and has not produced a wind gust greater than 10 mph.

Kinda surprised there isn’t at least a special weather statement for this line


.

Got a few flakes mixing back in with the freezing rain as this new batch moves in. We were at 2.75” last night before the switch here in southern AA.


.

Very impressive front! Temperature dropped from 51 30 minutes ago to 38 now with flurries here in south Anne arundel


.

Chances of getting an inch went up dramatically on the Gefs. Shows less of a concern for mixing in the cities too


.

Initial trough is further SW on 18z NAM 84hr vs 12z GFS 90hr

The 18z 3k Nam ramped up the winds big time on the bay. While it’s definitely overdoing how much wind mixes down it seems likely there will be a period of gusts over 50 along the Bay


.

Going to be lots of erosion on the bay if we get a 5 ft surge with 6 ft waves. Luckily the peak wind/waves should be brief compared to most storms


.

Pretty good storm in North Beach. We had winds gusting to 35 pretty much all day yesterday and more storm surge than I was expecting


.

View of the backside of the storm that hit Chesapeake Beach


.

Pretty nice dual hail cores just south of LYH

February 16th and the peepers are already out, count at least 10 by the basement door


.

Enough for a dog topper here


.

Cool, but doesn't the H5 map still show something that more resembles a cutter than a costal or am I misunderstanding something. 

Hurricane force gusts currently near point lookout!


.

I count this as a win


.

Tail of the line is really packing a punch in southern Anne Arundel. Switched to snow almost as soon as it moved in. Been gusting to 40 with low visibility for 20 minutes now


.

To my untrained eyes it seems like the biggest difference between the GFS and the other models for the backend snow is that it drops the upper level low down to our latitude, which sets up a better moisture transport leading into the front


.

Gusting to 109kts with a pressure of 926. Last reading was 35 minutes ago, wonder if it’s going to drop even further


.

Bocilla Island, 130mph


.

Pretty nasty looking clouds on the leading edge of the storms earlier. Race committee canceled sailing shortly after this photo was taken


.

This was Mayo rd in Edgewater around 6pm. (Don’t worry I didn’t drive through)


.

Rain was pretty intense in the Annapolis area. Really poured for a while in the late afternoon with low visibilities while driving. Then it rained again a 700ish but not as hard. 
Pretty wild precip differences in Anne Arundel in the past 24 hours. 0.05 in Northern Anne Arundel while 4.79 radar estimated in Edgewater. 

Drove through North Beach while out running errands. Lots of debris on the roads and a small area with numerous trees down including 2 houses that I saw were damaged. Luckily the worst of the damage seems to have been to this shed
