Lived in both cities. Cumberland: Depressed Economy. Drugs are rampant in the city. Not much going on there. Lives on tourism with the Western Maryland RR and the Canal path. ITs a very outdoorsy area. Walmart was the last biggest thing to happen there in 1993. Now they have a Lowe's building supply too. Food is mediocre for choices there. Comfortable summers and winter there. You are in a lower elevation so for LES you will have to drive 8 miles west to Frostburg. LaVale is the commercial area for the region with stores and restaurants. It is scenic with the mountains though. I dont miss living there though minus Frostburg and Garret County. Harrisonburg: A growing area for sure. A major college town with James Madison Univ there. IT has exploded over the last 15 years though. Traffic is becoming an issue on 33 and 81 and 11. Downtown is nice with a variety of shops and restaurants. The major commercial area is along 33, east of the city off I 81. You have plenty of choices there to choose from. Medical is pretty good there with Sentara being the main provider Re: hospitals, etc. Tourism is a major draw there with the Skyline Drive and Shenandoah Natl Park about 30 mins away. Massanutten Resort is a big draw for year round recreation. For big city, DC is about 2 hours to 2.5 hours away.

Yep my aunt and uncle live in Little Rock proper and they got 19" of snow

But it looks like it is going to slide off to your southeast of the Triad.

34/34 here currently and -RA .76" since midnight MTD: 5.02" YTD: 10.49"

We will get our snow this year, Mark it on your calendars, Fen 29-30 2021 we will have our snowstorm

Damn it, ARkansas took a big hit of snow, almost a foot this week in Little Rock area. I went to check out the highway cams and I 40 is a parking lot for semi after semi after semi just stuck and then a few other cams. Its looks so nice out there right now

Not feeling ZR here overnight, Its cloudy and currently 42/31 here

Man that US 58 corridor in the southside will just be unreal by tomorrow evening.

44/28 here with OVC skies Im hoping this good enough to restrict any ZR here. Lets the rains begin

Yeah usually that is how it works up there, I moved here from Leesburg so I know what you mean.

You will be fine down there. You need to be north of I 40 and west of Rt 1 to get Ice in this type of system. You may see some glaze but nothing to worry about NINJA'D by bullcity lol

Thanks. I wasnt saying the NAM was an outlier at any point. Just was concerned about how some people were taking the NAM for exactly what it is worth and could be disappointed

The NAM always overdoes QPF or it used to back in the day, I never take it for verbatim and thats a good rule to go with

Def was nice to see the sun out again, one more day and then its gone again. We got up to 62* here

GFS gives RDU .35 of ZR NAM says .07" ZR

picked up .68" in the last 40 mins here. Incredible rainfall

Wow multiple lightning strikes and thunder and tropical like rain falling here now

Nice rumbles here now and heavy rain and a lightning stike
