February 2026 Medium/ Long Range Discussion: Buckle Up!
wxdude64 replied to Weather Will's topic in Mid Atlantic
Lots I'd like to say about this post, but I'll keep the peace.... for now. -
22.4/3.6 at 6:15 pm after a 25.1 high.
-
LOL, I wouldn't take that bet out this way. Way more wind after the sun sets last week or so, finally dies about an hour or two before sun rise.

I'd bring a cookie pan or baking pan with you, just in case. -

Looks like the woodstove is gonna keep on chugging. -
So, jogging around CoCoRaHS site yesterday and today to check my records (all basically stored there since 2007, all previous is on paper and a chore to look thru, I need to spend a day and place them somewhere electronically) and found this gem from 2014- an incredible event.

Hmm, looks like @stormtracker has picked up a new (or maybe just unknown to the masses) name, persons of power!! -
Yep, I think the last 3 nights it has done that here. Windy/breezy during the day, but once the sunsets the wind gusts go into overdrive!

Low was 9.4 at 7 am. Temp stayed in low teens overnight as the winds cranked in 20's and 30's (and WC's in the -10 range). Finally wind calmed to under 10 mph late and temp dropped to low right at 7 am CoCoRaHS reading. I passed on doing a SWE this morning to give myself and the tools a break, lol. The 5 inches of concrete just isn't enjoyable trying to get thru and up. Temp still dropping, 8.8/-0.1 at 8 am.

One thing I will say those are some high-quality graphics for such a new model lol. -
Yep, FINALLY a few hours early this afternoon where it was decent to be outside without having a -30 WC. A mostly cloudy to partly cloudy day, hit 24.8 for a high, but as I said felt like 70 without the wind. Now here we are back to fighting WC's. Currently 17.7/4.5 with NNW at 10 gusting to 22 mph and seems to be increasing every few minutes. WC 6 to 1.

And still just 2 or 3 good models.

So that's where snowmobiles come from?? -
MUCH warmer this morning at 14.7 degrees vs the 1.8 yesterday. Mainly because we clouded over after dark last night (along with some flurries) and the wind. Had a 41 mph gust. The 1.8 that carried into next day until about 8 am NOT a record, that still stands from 1987 at -4. Currently 22.0/8.2 with W 5 gusting to 12 mph winds under partly cloudy skies. WC 16 to 10 degrees.
